Pros:

The sea view and the room had almost all the facilities that I needed 👌

Cons:

I struggled to operate the aircon and TV , I had to request assistance from the staff to assist with TV settings and it took him longer to manage the settings.

my stay was fine but would like you to consider your prices of accomodation and breakfast
Pros:

Unfortunately couldn't afford breakfast as it is too expensive as I think when paid R1300 plus will be able to have it

Cons:

Your prices at the hotel and online are too different

Comfortable, friendly hotel staff. Area of hotel, not condusive to walk alone as a female. No real “nightlife”. One Spar
Pros:

The sea view

Cons:

It was in a neighborhood that was not condusive for a single female relying on uber. Close to a few restaurants, never having been to East London before the location was not what I expected, it being on the ocean front, I was expecting night life, shops and a “vibe”. I think my expectation was something different.
