okay place

Some staff super friendly, others not so much. Very weird smell in the kitchen. Compared to many other places in South Africa, the WIFI was great though.

Não gostei da energia do lugar. A limpeza também não agradou e o quarto a porta ficava aberto, qualquer tendo acesso. Acabei não ficando e alugando outro hotel.

Kleine aber liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer

Zimmer sehr klein aber liebevoll eingerichtet. Poolwasser war bei uns nicht wirklich einladend. Aber alles in allem wars chillig da in der Umgebung alles zu Fuß zu erreichen ist und in die innenstadt sind es mim Taxi nur ca. 15min.
