Pros:

My room was close to the stairs and restaurant so every morning the staff preparing food woke me up. But besides that the place was clean and staff is very friendly.

Pros:

Cleanliness and caring staff

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that you must login with your own accounts to watch dstv, showmax and Netflix on TV. Meaning the TV is useless if you don't have your own accounts.

Not worth the money and certainly not the standard I expected from a boutique hotel
Pros:

The bed and linen was comfortable and clean

Cons:

Staff not welcoming nor friendly. There’s no lift, and no one to assist with luggage from the uphill parking and stairs. The breakfast or eating area is not appealing or comfortable.
