Adam
The hotel was tidy and had reasonably good and efficient staff that worked on the 24th night shift. The room was brand-new and great modern with a roll in shower, hairdryers, and shower caps in the open bathroom. It overlooked garden and had a big bed.

Jim
The location was nice and perfect, to the city centre where you will find the National museum, in the calm area. The room was beautifully designed and compact, and with a breathtaking view of an unkempt garden full of weeds.

The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The picture on the internet is very deceptive, we thought that there would be a better view of the zoo, which I am glad about, the room faces the elephant enclosure and it was cruel to see. The shower facilities are awful, I feel sorry for people in winter.

The hotel's location in the city is conveneint as it is close to shopping malls and other amenities.
While I had booked a room with a view of the zoo and was charged accordingly,I was allocated a room whose view was blocked by a massive tree,despite having made a special request for a room with a view.

We had a great stay, with top-notch service from the staff and a comfortable room with good air conditioning and clean amenities. The hotel's location was convenient for us, as it was close to a large shopping center and the zoo. We particularly enjoyed watching the meerkats and gazelles from our room. The breakfast was also good, and we appreciated the chef listening to our preferences for how we like our eggs.
Nothing we didn't like to be fair.

Convenient central location, helpful staff, comfortable beds
I stayed in this hotel during a recent business trip. The location was great, close to the main business district and transportation links. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I particularly enjoyed the comfortable beds that ensured a good night's sleep. the breakfast buffet had a good selection of food.
There were a few negatives. There was no fridge in the room, so it was difficult to keep drinks cold.

Jesse
The amenities in the room were a wow factor - Grapetizer, chocolates and welcome card! We were also surprised with South African treats in the room! The location was also really convenient for exploring the city.
We also found that the steak we had for lunch at the restaurant was cold and not flavorful. Our romantic escape was also tarnished by a not so great experience with one staff member who was rude during payment.

Marc
Great complementary breakfast and wifi, convenient location close to shops. The bed was comfortable and clean.
The hotel seemed run-down, and there were mosquitos in the room. The staff was not willing to go out of their way to make our stay special.
