Over-selling but under-delivering

Up arrival welcoming was underwhelming. The guy didn't wear a mask or give us full details re our stay, breakfast venue etc (the basics). For almost R2000 - We had to carry our own bags to the room. When we got to the room, we paid for champagne but got sparkling wine instead. No coffee/ espresso machine as advertised. No robes or slippers as advertised. We eventually got beige robes but no slippers when we asked. The aircon, jet tub and curtains didnt work properly. The bar fridge was empty, even if we wanted snacks none were available for us to purchase. There was no way of contacting the reception; I had to walk down the stairs to look for the guy to assist with anything. I honestly regretted booking there, my birthday was spoilt as I kept getting disappointed. The shower, the options were scorching hot or freezing cold no in between. I travel alot and can tell you that I have gone to cheaper places that offered better service. Now I know why we we were the only guests booked there; no one would ever go back there. Considering that we booked one of their best rooms; I'd hate to see how the cheaper rooms are. Never again...no thanks!!! Didnt even stay for breakfast as I didn't want to be disappointed further. Don't waste your money going here. The owner clearly has no passion for this so they should go into a different business.

Uncomfortable stay

My stay there was not so good, I was not happy with the room that they gave me. There was a very large spider on the Glassdoor, I was so terrified. They came to kill it and told me that it is harmless and it only eats mosquitoes, but I was scared and told them that I don’t think I will be able to sleep there as I wasn’t sure if there many others. They said I should not worry as that thing is harmless... I could barely sleep, as I kept thinking about what I saw. I’m never going back to that place

Clean and specious room

Nothing much to complain. John was very helpful. The aircon wasn't working and they are aware of it, but didn't fix it before renting it out.. Luckily wasn't so hot when we were staying there, otherwise will definitely have some issue with the room.
