Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff were amazing and the Central Hotel Guest House clean. The breakfast can be a bit more elaborate with breads / rolls and perhaps fresh fruits. It is quiet, tranquil and definitely worth staying there. It is somewhat opposite a mall, close to attractions and the beach is a short walking distance. Even with loadshedding, I was able to make a well-deserved cup of coffee from the coffee station in the room.
