This is a good budget hotel for a quick one night overnight stay. It is safe and provides secure parking. The rooms are very small and the bathrooms were questionable - the shower did not want to drain. The staff were wonderful though.

When I checked out this morning. I was told I had an outstanding bill of R245 for a dinner that was not mine. However, the guy at reception was very helpful. He told me it must have been the wrong room number and that he would investigate it. This was the East London branch
