Pros:

It's clean

Cons:

Rooms are not sound proof, I could hear guests from the other rooms doing the deed, talking and showering. It's disgusting, do something quick about that.

Don't ever say breakfast is included, that's not breakfast it's a joke, do like other hotels charge R200 for buffet breakfast guest won't mind. Reason I booked your hotel was the fact you said breakfast was included If I knew it was like that joke we were served I wouldn't have booked your hotel
