Tiny room with Double Bed does not leave much room to do anything but to hurt one self. The shower even smaller , slippery floor as water escapes . The maids cleaning are more interested in getting a tip rather than well being of guest. The breakfast @R160 a con job in every which way you see, greasy eggs, weak coffee from automated machine that you will find in Motel6 in the USA...overall a hotel to be avoided at all cost.

The best thing about this hotel is that it’s by Gateway if it were not for that the price should be significantly cheaper. There were a sworm of ants in the bathroom and we saw to roaches during the night. The bed was hard and room is small. I would’ve rated higher if not for the bugs. I read reviews prior to my stay and I was expecting bugs.

Other than the bed being too hard, I had absolutely no problems. The check-in was quick and easy. The staff friendly and my room was cleaned without me asking for the service. Loved that the back entrance was literally in gateway parking lot.

The room was very basic and not up to standard for the pricing paid. The aircon made so much of noise that I hardly slept and woke up very tired. Breakfast was an additional cost and being vegetarian there was only toast and fruit. The bread for the toast was so thin and unsatisfying as well.

Spotless but there were tiny ants daily in the room. I reported it to front desk. They were going to do something about it. Staff were courteous, professional and respectful. Breakfast was overall good. The service to use gym on sister hotel City Lodge is an excellent arrangement. I used it and thoroughly enjoyed the service.
Nice family friendly swimming pool outside hotel.
Nice breakfast served every morning.
The extended gym facilities at opposite sister hotel City Lodge.
Nice layout and sitting arrangements for breakfast and meals.

Generally rather noisy, lots of eco friendly signs around but staff replace soaps and towels daily regardless. Tea/coffee in room is very poor- clear that mugs are wiped and not washed.
