I enjoyed my stay with freindly stuff🙂
Pros:

The location is very convenient as it’s right in town

Cons:

Lack of facilities like a mini fridge and a microwave in rooms….I understand it may be because they’ve got their own restaurant in the premises however having these in rooms would improve the guests convenience

Comfortable hotel in Ladysmith.
Pros:

Right in the center of Ladysmith, old hotel, but with charm, comfortable room, there is a restaurant where you can have dinner, breakfast is good, parking where your car is safe.

Cons:

The coffee is not real coffe, it's instant coffee, which doesn't taste good at all.
