Pros:

Friendly staff

Cons:

Room is smelling I never slept well due to cough and dry nose it's like unomswakamo and ayisebenzi futhi ayi clinywa.

No bedroom sink if u want tea you go to the bathroom.
No air conditioner
Lift😭
The building is old it needs to be renovated.
The gate is too old it need sirious attention.
No macro wave.

I found the room opened with the tools in the bathroom the guy came while I'm inside without a knock I than I asked why is he coming inside he said he's fixing the bathroom light.. They should have told me in the reception that they are busy fixing things.

Pariking😭 no enough parkings extra parking is far and not safe, when you're away you need to be back quickly due to shortage of parkings.

Broken shower cap with cold water.
