This hotel is lovely, staff are helpful and the rooms are nice. It has Charlotte Rhys toiletries which I love. The rooms are large and clean. My room had a balcony over the front of the building. We had dinner at the nearby casino restaurants which we were dropped off at by the complementary golf buggy transport, welcome because it was raining. Nice area too.

The hotel is located within the Montecasino complex, and therefore is safe to walk around within the complex. There is also a small shopping centre with a supermarket nearby within walking distance. Any further than that would with private hire, which is readily available. The hotel has good spacious rooms which are cleaned daily also with fresh bottled water. The breakfast buffet is good with reasonable choice of hot and cold items as well as mad to order egg and omelettes. Service is friendly and very attentive which made it feel at the upper end of 4 stars

The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide selection and great quality. Overall, a wonderful experience and great value for money.

The guests received the wrong room type on check-in... where they were placed on the 2nd floor that's all smoking rooms, while a non-smoking room was booked & requested?! Personally, I can't imagine that while in SA one is not allowed to smoke inside buildings any longer, that it is still even allowed to smoke inside hotel rooms as being seen as public places - awful!
