This was a very clean hotel and the rooms were extremely nice. The beds were clean and very comfortable. There was a wonderful view of the ocean from the hotel patio and the restaurant was really nice.

All very good, except their windows were rather dirty. On the second floor, there’s a balcony, so it’s easier to clean the windows then elsewhere.

Enjoyed my stay again. All the staff were helpful and pleasant to myself and guests. There was no pamphlet in the room stating breakfast, lunch and dinner were available daily which would have been helpful for some family meetings. Will return again.

It is a very basic hotel with no elevator to the floors. One floor is smoking, which seeps into other areas. The first room had a cockroach on the bed the moment I walked in. I received a new room immediately. it was comfortable. the parking is a bit inconvenient. the gym is pathetic and mostly dysfunctional. the other guests were very noisy and it made sleeping difficult. I would not stay there again. there was no teapot, but i received one from the kitchen. the wifi was very weak in my room.

Although not, five star, the property has everything you might need to be comfortable and is very clean. The restaurant Has a lovely menu and breakfast in the morning. Best of all the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I love the fact that it is right across from the waterfront, nice for walking and even swimming if you care to.

The property was great actually. Staff was friendly, food was delicious (the biltong was my favorite). The room was a lot smaller than I expected, and a couple of things that are normal in American hotels were not present here (I really needed an iron). Otherwise, would absolutely hang out there again. Location was right in the middle of everything.
