What Guests Say About Their Stay

This is a budget hotel and is excellent for just that reason. It was perfect for what I needed. Quiet with a restaurant on site. I had an upstairs room tucked away at the back and had a lovely view of the escarpment from a very private balcony which was a bonus and with a table and chairs made it a nice extra space. I wouldn’t recommend an upstairs room for anyone with toddlers as the railings are not designed for keeping a child in. Clean on the small side room with the basics available at a reasonable price. The managers clearly keep an eye on making it a quiet stay. Just what I needed,

Booked two rooms sleeping 6 adults. Called 4 days prior to ask for early checkin, identified one room slept 3 and other 2, 1 bed space short. Addressed by reception or so I thought until we checked in only to find 1 bed short. Changed to another room that slept 3 however airconditooning not working and room had a damp smell…..not a pleasant stay given 33-35 degree weekend temps. Hotel presents clean however run down and requires renovation throughout.
