Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had fantastic views of the lawns or golf course, but the bathrooms definitely need an upgrade. However, the constant fluctuation of hot-cold water during showers was quite uncomfortable. The service was top-notch with friendly and respectable staff, although the noise from children late at night was a bit bothersome. The location is beautiful and well-maintained, perfect for those working in Mbabane, but it's a bit of a distance from the city center. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some delicious options like smoked salmon but falling short of international standards with certain dishes. Overall, the facilities were good, but some areas felt a bit outdated.
Staying at the hotel felt like being in a cozy Granny's flat with slightly outdated furniture. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the outdated decor and inadequate cleaning service were noticeable. The mini-bar wasn't stocked, which felt disappointing considering the price.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are clean and neat but could use a modern upgrade. The service is friendly overall but not always consistent. The location is convenient for work but can feel cramped when busy. Dining options vary, with some hits and misses.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with great views, but the showers were a bit problematic due to fluctuating water temperatures. The service was friendly overall, although some staff seemed disinterested. The location was excellent surrounded by beautiful scenery, but there were some accessibility issues. The dining options were delicious, but there were concerns about hygiene in some areas.
The hotel has some drawbacks with the rooms as they are outdated and in desperate need of maintenance, especially challenging for guests with mobility issues. However, the service provided by the friendly staff is excellent with a few hiccups in handling situations. The location is pleasant, easy to manage, and near notable spots in South Africa. The dining experience offers a variety of options but falls short with unimaginative dishes. Overall, the facilities are decent given the circumstances.
