Hotel itself is lovely. But room 64 which I was given was far from the main hotel - above the service quarters and the garage where motorbikes were stored (and used from 6.30am) this meant that it was quite noisy. Breakfast was nice. WiFi was strong even during load shedding. It would have been lovely to have a map or layout of the premises in the room as I had no idea of all the facilities available.
