Solo Traveller - Frequent CT visitor

My seconded stay a Protea F&I but a much lesser experience than first time out. My room was above the nightclub. I'd no fridge on this occasion. The water in Cistern had a constant trickle, albeit maintenance were quick to address once raised, however it reoccurred. The shower temperature control was non existant and risk being scalded. I'm a relatively easy customer and can put up with most if not all of the above, but the biggest frustration was no one answering the phone at reception for 15+ minutes (at 6pm looking for room service), so i eventually got up and left the hotel to spend my money in resturant nearby. I also ordered food late at night (Burger menu only) and asked for small salad in liue of chips only to be told it wasn't possible. I wasn't asking for roast potatoes.... just some salad that was already on the burger anyway. Baffling. As such, I found the reception and restaurant service poor this time out. The bar staff and cleaners were good. I'm good to tip, and the staff that went the ectra mile were tipped accordingly but some were very inflexible and lackadaisical. The location is great but on fence if I'd stsy again.

Staff highly incompetent

Their systems were off-line upon check-in. Despite showing the receipt and booking confirmation they made my employee pay before allowing checking, despite knowing the fault is on their end and trouble shooting or just re-check in the following morning, which would be normal practise. When the system was online the following day, the refund took 3-4 days. Furthermore, laundry service was requested. After following up numerous times and being assured it will be ready on time, when the time actually came for the laundry to be required back, they said it was never sent in.

Incompetent staff

Not only were their systems pff line to check and validate the booking and payment upon arrival, despite showing the receipt and booking confirmation, but then they also compelled my employee to pay for the first night stay, before they would book him in. The system was back the following and they processed the refund only 3 days later. Then he booked in washing, which not only forgot to send into the cleaners, but kept on saying it will be ready on time. But then it was later the following day as well, not meeting deadlines they provided, multiple times this causing crisis management for clothes.

Fire and Ice Hotel on "Fire".

After confirming 3 times that I wanted 2 rooms next to one another or closeby, I was still given the opposite. It was only corrected the next day which was rather inconvenient. Besides that inconvenience I found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The Hotel was spotless at all times. We had three light meals at the hotel and really enjoyed them tremendously. Compliments to the chef! The sweetie jar at reception was also a winner. Everyday something else.
