Dois hóspedes nos ajudaram a gritar para alguém abrir a porta. Um cara nos abordou querendo dinheiro, tivemos que nos reunir para retirá-los, foi uma cena de terror. Entramos no hotel e ar condicionado não funcionava e o ventilador(coitado). Pela manhã fomos atras de Wi-Fi e só pegava próximo a um dos quartos, tivemos que ficar em pé, próximos. Pagamos duas diárias mas saímos naquela manhã. Foi muito chato não ter alguém para acessar. Uma funcionária até tentou, mas sem êxito. ##### Diana C C Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 11 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prisvärt Prisvärt, nära till ett antal restauranger/pubar. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adri 7 Nov 2017 Disliked: Room comfort There was a mouldy smell in my room which made it difficult to breathe. Linen and towels were clean but towels were hard and had a tear. The communal kitchen also had a bar smell, a mix of old oil and a gas leak. staff were friendly. I didn't stay for breakfast. ##### Adri Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Helpful owner Great owner, he was very helpful in a number of ways.

Hotel situé dans un quartier très agreable et sûr Melville dont le propriétaire Greg est très aimable et serviable. On est bien accueilli par tout le personnel. Une petite piscine permet de se baigner rapidement en été. Il s'agit certainement d'un très bel hôtel dans le passé mais tombé en oubli depuis le déclin de Jo 'Burg. C'est dommage mais la région souffre du déclin du tourisme et de la mauvaise réputation des alentours (insécurité particulièrement criante). ##### michele Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis 8 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very quaint and comfortable Very quaint and comfortable.
