8/10 Very good

Great location
Great location directly opposite the pier. Extensive breakfast buffet. Kind, professional, friendly staff, (except for one guy whose job included wiping down outside railings and furniture, etc, who repeatedly stared inappropriately every time we were coming and going, and did not ever say hello or smile). The primary negative was having no heat in the room, as the evenings were quite chilly. We had to keep our coats on until we went to bed, which made those hours uncomfortable.

The place was clean, the staff was very friendly and they responded quickly to our requests/issues. Clean linen, spacious rooms, working elevator, quiet environment. Same breakfast options throughout our stay - definitely boring.

Great hotel but some Reno’s in some places.
We were a group of 8 people in 8 rooms. Most rooms were excellent however considering we paid the same price for all rooms, some were of lesser quality and obviously older and not renovated. They also had issues with hot water. The rooms in the « older » section should be less expensive

4/10 Fair

The check-in was nice and the room looked good. The issue was there was no fan or air con and it was very hot in the room, so we had to leave the windows/doors to the balcony open. This resulted in us recieveing mosquito bites all over our faces and arms. Very unpleasant. The rooms at least need fans so you can keep the bugs out. The shower drain was also blocked so you had to turn it off every minute or so to allow it to drain and not overflow. The breakfast was good. Overall the hotel is nice just needs some final thoughts like fans in the place of having windows open or window screens as there are many mosquitos in the area that will come in if the windows are open. Had more bug bites here in one night than our entire camping tour throughout southern Africa!

Staff was really friends and breakfast was fresh and delicious. Everything was walking distance away and staff can advise on multiple activities which you can do close by. Would definitely recommend this place!!
