National rating
Quality Graded by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) – South Africa's official quality assurance organization.
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The rooms are separated from the reception and the parking lot. Must walk 3 blocks. As you enter the building, you feel you are entering a jail and feel terribly insecure. We got locked inside the room and had to trow keys throught the window to someone who can enter and open the door.
If there is no space in the parking lot, must leave the car in the street and the security officer says it is not safe at all

The pillows were a little worrisome and it was quite noisy on the street outside.
Es war leider alles sehr schmutzig vorallem das Bad wir waren sehr froh als die 2 Nächte vorbei waren und würden nicht noch einmal buchen
Die Lage ist in Ordnung
