4/10 Fair

For the price of the accomodation is expensive and getting basic service. The lodge is bit old and room entertainment not good.
Joel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was nice. Room was dirty. Trash was in the bin when I arrived. Fridge was broken and smelly. Other guests were loud and running around the hall. Bathroom was really dirty with dust and dirt everywhere. Bed was old and uncomfortable. It was fine but I won’t be back.
Marlo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our recent stay was highly satisfactory, with the check-in staff demonstrating exceptional courtesy and facilitating an upgrade to our accommodations. We will certainly recommend your establishment to our network of friends and family.

This is a cheap budget hotel and excellent value. Very nice staff exceedingly helpful I understand they’re in the realms of upgrading the property and you can see areas where it is indeed upgraded. A little more attention to cleaning would be a good idea.

8/10 Very good

Reasonable for the price.
Jordan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No one at reception between 10 and 2. Difficult for arriving or departing. If a staff member can be found luggage can be stored in the downstairs dormatory room. Rooms large with airconditioning, balconies out onto residential streets, tea and coffee making, good wifi, communal kitchen had boxes saying creamer but nothing in them, plenty of power sockets, was possible to persuade staff to order taxis etc but took effort. Seemed to have plenty of parking, easy to find on a major road a few hundred meters from the park in one direction and the beech in another with various nearby shops. Can be very expensive if there's an event in town, service ought to be better when that happens.
Joseph, 1-night trip

Good central place to see what I wanted to. Close to shop's and food outlets.
