According to older versions of Southern Africa Lonely planet, Roof of Africa used to be a backpackers, and as such was described as ' a pleasant haven'. While the hotel was clean and service was good, the rooms are lacking in character, and the bar and restaurant look like any standard middle range business and small conference hotel. The staff...

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years and have always had a wonderful stay. The staff are always friendly and willing to assist. You can enjoy a drink or two at the fully stocked bar and the buffet meals are always a treat, there are several dishes to choose from so you should have no problem... More

This place is quite annoying: the rooms are not ok, old and dirty, there is no hot water in the shower even after waiting for a long.....long......time and the management just doesn't seem to care much at all.

Having had the unfortunate experience of staying a week at this hotel, conducting training for our company's staff in one of the conference rooms (not the one shown on the website!), it would take me a long time to list all the gripes I have. My biggest complaint is the shockingly poor, disgusting attitude of the management of this hotel!... More

We loved it here. Had 3 days at the beginning of a business trip and decided to stay here. We could walk in to town through the neighborhoods (avoiding the busy roads) and at night, walk to Joe's Beer Garden. The staff was wonderful. We left and stayed a all 4 star hotels for 2 weeks and Roof of Africa... More

All maybe ok, but they are totallt arrogant and smug. They are really doing you a favour by allowing you to stay at this crappy establishment. More
