Reviews and Ratings
I found this hotel to be in a strategic location close to everything, which was convenient for my business trip. The welcoming and helpful receptionist was a standout, but some staff members seemed to lack customer service training. The homemade pastries at the dining area were a nice touch. The lack of space for a desk in the rooms on the mezzanine level was a drawback, but the overall value for money was good.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was perfect for business travelers, and the quiet surroundings were a bonus. The room was open-plan with a mezzanine level, which was something different, but it lacked linen on the beds. The service, except for the welcoming receptionist, was a bit hit or miss, with staff seeming disinterested at times. The dining experience was good, especially with the included peanut butter, and the facilities were satisfactory. However, the lack of a desk in the room was a bit inconvenient.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located, especially for business travelers, with easy access to Gateway mall and the highway. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, although the open-plan layout into the bathroom might not suit everyone. The service was mixed, with a welcoming receptionist but some staff members lacking in training. The dining options were self-service, which was included, offering a decent range of choices. The facilities were adequate, but there was a disinterested staff member who impacted the overall experience.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms, friendly receptionist, and ideal location in the Umhlanga area. However, some staff members seemed disinterested in providing service, making it a bit inconsistent. The hotel's dining options were satisfactory but could use a bit more variety. Overall, a good value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, especially for someone on business, with easy access to shopping centers and a lovely urban park in three cities. The rooms were modern with an open plan into the bathroom, equipped with all appliances and amenities, although there was no space for a desk. The staff at reception were so warm and friendly, even if they could benefit from more training in customer service. The dining experience was phenomenal, the grilled meat was delicious. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
