Its probably the best and safest hotel in Mthata but its way overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Food was fine. The prices for drinks are ridiculous. R37 for a small coke can and R29 for a still water? I should have stopped at the garage and bought a few drinks before i went in. There was a still water and a appletizer in the bar fridge but was not sure if its complimentary or not. Bought from the bar

R250 pp for dinner was still a bit high for what you get and the ladies slice the meat so thin and only give you one slice. The variety was good though.

Cons:

The bathroom of the room is not up to standard. i stayed in 233 and the fan was very noisy and the bathroom smelled bad.
The TV can be upgraded to support streaming services. The cannels supplied are poor
