The location of the hotel, the atmosphere in and around it and most of the staff members. The cleanliness of trhe hotel was eye catching but your breakfast is one of the best I had in many years at a hotel.

Arnold, South Africa

The staff in the breakfast area was excellent. The breakfasts very hearty and large variety. The location , beach was walking distance away. Rooms were also cleaned and tidy on time. Check in was quick and check out as well.

“An okay hotel for a short trip.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Deluxe King or Twin Room - South Facing
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Bathrooms cleaner, and proper parking to be made available for guests.
눇The room was clean, the bathroom was not up to standard, black mould around the shower doors and the water from the shower leaked onto the floor, the water in the basin did not drain properly took long. There was no parking in the hotel parking, I had to park a rented vehicle on the street parking, and the tyre caps were stolen, which cost me more money.
