I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with spacious and clean rooms, although they could have used a little more attention. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall positive experience. However, the blackout during my stay made things a bit inconvenient, especially in a tiny room without electricity. Still, the location is great on the way to Kruger, making it a pretty good spot overall.

The hotel is in a great location near Bandelierskop, but my stay had a few hiccups. The rooms were recently renovated and generally clean, but we had an issue with insects, and the tiny room we ended up in wasn’t ideal for our family. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though we faced some confusion regarding breakfast payment. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but the value for money was fair considering the amenities offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were charming and newly decorated, but unfortunately, they weren't as clean as I hoped. The location is really nice, which was a big plus for my trip. The service left something to be desired, especially when it came to breakfast. Overall, it's a decent place, but some improvements are definitely needed to make it truly enjoyable.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had a fantastic location and the staff was incredibly friendly, the room was quite small for my family, which included two adults, one child, and two dogs. The dining experience was also a bit of a letdown, especially with a blackout affecting our meal. Overall, it has great potential, but the room size and dining issues could be improved.
