I stayed for three nights, the staff and reception was very friendly and efficient. The room has two comfortable double beds, a flat screen TV, with all the DSTV movie channels, tea and coffee making facilities. The air conditioner was a bit noisy; however I preferred to open the huge sliding window for cool fresh air from outside. The view... More

“Pleasant Surprise”

Reviewed February 21, 2013

Staff were helpful and friendly, room was immaculate and well-appointed, very comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb with no queue and GREAT coffee - order a skinny decaf cappuccino with... More

Reviewed February 9, 2013 via mobile

Not really a business hotel. Seems to be geared for sports teams. Very poor bathroom. Location convenient for me but not good tourist location. Breakfast area crowded and food presentation poor. .............

Some of our bathrooms have been upgraded and if you allow me on your next visit I would like to place you in one of our 6th floor rooms. These rooms have a view... More
