From check in to check out everything went smoothly. The rooms needs to have hair dryers and irons to make the stay even more convenient. That way guests can fix themselves without having to call someone and checkout will be faster This was my 2nd stay at the hotel and won’t hesitate to book my next stay there. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 16 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Not Bad stay The stay was just normal & we had no place to park the vehicle and the Room is small & cramped.however the breakfast was nice. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Dec 2017 #### Descent hotel spent one night, the hotel is very small and its room was small too,but it was very neat and clean.

Depois de apresentar o voucher novamente e a recepcionista confirmar com o hoteis.com é que foi liberado. Achei isso muito chato e constragedor, deveria haver uma comunicação melhor entre as empresas para não acontecer. ##### JESSICA Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### MOSIMANEGAPE 30 Oct 2017 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Morning Star Express - Pretoria The bedding and towels look very old and needs changing. I was not convinced of the cleanliness of my room at all as it was so stuffy and the sheets looked very old. ##### MOSIMANEGAPE Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Matshwene 12 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Poor Service from reception Two times I booked through Hotel.Com and they refused to give me free breakfast that is on the advert. The advert on Hotels.Com says free Breakfast. They claimed that Hotels.Com gives them little money, hence they cannot give breakfast. After a lengthy argument, I gave up. This happened two times and I forwarded them proof of payment from Hotels.Com, but they were just not ready honor their promises. I will not recommend this hotel for international travelers. First time I was given room 109, when I got there I found that there someone's stuff and the bed is not ready someone just woke up. The girl apologized and gave me another room. In the morning - breakfast argument. Second time, I found a guy who looked like he is a senior person there and he promised to look into my first breakfast situation. He also requested I forward proof of payment, which he already has from Hotels.Com. Whoever own this hotel need to take his stuff for another training so that they know how to treat international people travelling into South Africa. The reception is worse than all 52 hotels I slept in throughout my travelling life. ##### Matshwene Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laimi Lamanguluka 22 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Morning Star Express Hotel, Super Hotel services Morning Star Express Hotel made my trip a memorable one. The fact that they deliver services as they said and they are already happy to help. I would recommend anyone to experience their super service. ##### Laimi Lamanguluka ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2017 #### Not the best choice Although situated in centre of town, the area seems dodgy and unsafe. The hotel has a modern design in lobby and room. However the rooms are tiny and the bathrooms are very basic and not looked after. the shower is missing a head and water coming directly from the pipe. On the housekeeping level the hotel is kept very clean, but on the maintenance level its not up to standard. Staff was very friendly. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Value for money Good value for money ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Value for money Staff esp waiters are professional well dressed well mannered and on their posts.
