Not happy at all, the rooms need to be revamped they are way to old fix up the bathrooms and taps ,
Pros:

The location is perfect

Cons:

We couldn’t have a shower on the day of arrival, there was a water shortage and the hotel failed to inform us prior to checking in, when the water problem was solved the next day the shower head was blocked and the water was just spraying everywhere and i had to dodge around to shower.

i will not be coming back .
Pros:

The room was spotless, comfortable, and fully met my expectations.

Cons:

The staff were rude and far from welcoming. Waiting to be served felt endless, whether in the restaurant or the lobby, and it often seemed as though guests were being deliberately ignored. Not once did anyone make an effort to provide attentive or professional service. It's incredibly disappointing when a great property is undermined by such poor customer care. What should have been an enjoyable stay turned into a frustrating experience and a major letdown.

Cons:

The AC remote control wasn't working so we had no AC through the night. We had a hard time with the TV as well, and there was no phone for us to communicate with the receptionist

acceptable.
Pros:

1. The location is walking distance to Ilanga Mall.

Cons:

1. The amenities were very bad.
2.I booked a balcony room (suite) and was instead put on the ground floor, as all the balcony rooms were "old" and very dated.
3.No wifi provided.
4.Television did not work, and there was no working signal to enable one to watch any of the streaming channels.
5.Bathroom had stain marks, and of bad quality.

The room was in terrible cleaning condition, including a cockroach infestation inside the room.
Cons:

Unfortunately, the experience during the stay was terrible. Room 514 was completely filthy, and the cleaning was clearly sloppy. We found hair remnants on the bed and floor, and the worst part was the cockroaches we found on the bed and scattered throughout the room.
