Pros:

The customer service, room was spacious.

Cons:

Please try to consider cleaning a balcony. Was not impressive. This is the advice given to the housekeepers team that has nothing to do with the overall experience in the property.

It was good, but the stairs issue prevented us from making trips out of the hotel.
Pros:

No complaints about the stay. Room was modern and had all necessary enmities.

Cons:

Greatest dislike was that I booked a room on ground floor without any stairs, as my mother cannot climb stairs, and the booking was confirmed by the hotel for a ground floor room without stairs. The hotel subsequently changed the room to one with a small but significant flight of stairs without prior consultation. Had I known this, I would not have booked this hotel and would have sought to stay elsewhere. At short notice, there was nothing I could do. For this reason I will not book future stays at this hotel.

Stay At luxe
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable stocked with all amenities. Bathrooms are well maintened and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very affordable and pleasant place to stay.

Cons:

The aircon is situated below the single bed in the family room belowong directly on your head making it very difficult to use when you sleep thus making the room stuffy.

Booking.com advertises as breakfast available on premises at R120 but unfortunately the morningside branch doesn't offer this.

Pros:

The location.

Cons:

Sheets were torn, the base of the bed was torn and no base cover to even try to hide this. Room felt like it was not swept or aired. There was only 1 glass and 1 mug yet it was a family room for 4 people and we paid for 2 adults and 2 kids. The outside of the room was not swept and was dusty.
