It was a good place to stay, but there was no internet signal in the rooms. Also,they should look into accepting credit cards.

Hotel was in bad state and in dire need of repair, its in a good location but hasn't been kept up to date and things are falling apart. It rained one night and the ceiling of my room started to leak onto my bed, bathrooms were terrible, no toiletries provided. Really bad experience!

Great location and family friendly

Lovely family-friendly place to stay. Basic. It isn’t super luxurious but it is comfortable and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. Right on the ocean and within a short walk to the market and local town.

Prøvde å tjene penger på meg å si at jeg måtte betale for besøk. Kastet ut gjester fra rommet mitt som allerede var betalt for . Ikke tv på rommet som det stod besktevet i fasiliteter og heller ikke toalettsaker . .

Ett ok hotell men inte mer. Personalen i receptionen lite tråkig attityd och städningen sådär. Nästan inget varmvatten och inget tryck i duschen.

vrij groot zwembad - paar restaurantjes in de buurt - hotel heeft op zich heel wat potentieel, maar wordt niet verzorgd - omgeving zwembad vuil, geen enkele dag warm water gehad - is dringend aan renovatie toe; Weinig vriendelijk, behoudens de onderhoudsman die naar het waterprobleem kwam kijken en Oussein aan het onthaal. beperkt basis ontbijt met weinig empathisch personeel.

Comfortable enough

I loved this place, I didn’t expect it to be amazing, and it wasn’t. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was terrible, they might need to review their options for this. The best on offer is omelette which is twice a week and fruits. The menu had a lot of options. I quite enjoyed everything I had off that menu. The WiFi is almost non existent. It rarely works, very frustrating but when it decides to work, it’s decent enough. The room was comfortable enough for what I paid. I booked the round hut which was small but was upgraded to a sea view room which was more spacious. Rooms are cleaned everyday though they are stingy with towels. There’s 2basic single beds in each room some drawers, storage space and a mosquito net. The bathroom again very basic, shower toilet sink. Hotel is next to the beach and there’s a nice deck outside the restaurant. It’s also on the main road for taxis to anywhere else. For the price I paid I had a pleasant stay.

Great budget choice

Great value and fantastic friendly service! Take the chance to be quite alone by the ocean beach, not swimmable but beautiful and powerful. Sadly quite run down condition and insistent bumsters outside the front, but also very professional taxi services and great live music - sometimes genuine and sometimes more bland. Definitely take the opportunity to go for outings with taxis and take a walk along the cape point beach. Just don’t let anyone dictate your visit out of their own interest...

Threatened not supported by security staff

Aggression racism physical abuse experienced from security staff when attempting to park our car. Further compounded by blocking of support by reception staff on duty. We felt abused , attacked and blocked. And then we're woken at 1.30 am to move our car because the member of staff using the parking space had left then. We also needed to move rooms because it was ridiculously noisy. There was no mosquito net, both lights o the Bathroom not working making it impossible To shower, and pillows like stone . On the 3 occasions on the 1st day I needed To go to reception on the 1st day the staff meMber on duty was polite and did his best to help . Those isdues by comparison are nowhere nrar as serious as the agression, racism and blo king of support.

Everything would have been fine if they had hot water. Also it's much cheaper to book direct rather than through Expedia.
