          Everything was great, apart from an incident which rouined my mood, and that is : my room was facing the sun for long hours during the day, so i asked to change the room, however, the manager did not cooperate.. Beside not forgetting to mention that curtains are a llittle short in comparison to the windows which lets some light in even if you dont like that to happen... One last notice is that you will strugle if are a muslim as there are no water sprinklers in the bathrooms. Otherwise everything is perfect and all the staffs are 10/10.

          Pros. The location is close to Sandton and Fourways. Accommodation is way cheaper than those 2 areas but close enough to enjoy events in those areas. Cons: the management must treat this like a proper hotel. They put one roll of toilet paper for the day. I am sure what happens when more is needed, it will be embarrassing to ask for toilet paper in the middle of the night. The second problem once house keeping staff is done with cleaning the rooms, no one has access to housekeeping stuff. I needed change of sheets early evening as I have spilled liquid on them but no one had access to New sheets, so I had to sort myself for the evening.

          The shower curtains are dirty. This time the curtain had mould meaning it hasn’t been washed in a while. Either remove the shower curtains or wash as they are changing linen . It’s not nice to have that dirty shower curtain touch your body , knowing very well lots of bodies were touched by the same curtain. The room and linen is clean, towels perfect.,, toilet is clean, the issue of one toilet roll is not on. Do we have to ask for toilet paper in the middle of the night?

          The service was excellent with the friendly staff but the only negative was the bed. The bed was to hard after traveling from a long distance which was not good at all. The beds should be replaced as it the most important item in the room as we travel from far and di not get a good nights sleep.

          The hotel is cheap and good value for money. The shower curtains have to be replaced with glass or washed every time visitors leave. In the room that I slept in , it looked like it was dragged through red mud. Obviously to look like that it hasn’t been washed in a long time.

          The bed was extremely uncomfortable. - The bedding was not clean and it's smell was appalling. - The television didn't have a clear picture. - Windows struggling to close. - The staff was friendly - The restaurant menu seemed over priced.

          Dissatisfaction of stay ”

          The entrance and outside view of the hotel is good, but when we arrived in the room, there was a bad smell, the bed was of a very-very poor quality, sleeping on the floor would be better. The staff does not take complain serious, they are not willing to assist and defends their poor quality. They do not deliver the ironing board and iron, one must walk down stairs to fetch it. They are very heavy and can make one to fall while climbing upstairs. We were very disappointed.
