Window decor could do with an update especially in the lower level rooms around the courtyard area. I my opinion, blackout curtains would work much better as it appears the outside lights are left on all night! Guests departing at 5am need to be mindful of other guests who could still be sleeping and perhaps depart in a manner that avoids waking these guests. Carrying a bag rather than dragging it through the courtyard and down the steps would be a better decision!! On a positive note though, the rooms were very clean and staff friendly

Reasonable

Our stay was fine but the rooms were tiny. There is no room to store a suitcase flat. Bed was comfortable and showering our room was good.

The room was tired and there was very little storage which meant we had to live out of our suitcase. It is well positioned on the lake front and it was an easy walk into town.

No airconditioning. Quirky after-hours doors and limited site communication. We noticed one guest who inadvertently locked himself out of his room with his key and phone left in the room. He ended up sleeping in the hallway because there was no way to contact the desk agents.

Really nice place. the refurbished "superior" rooms are much nicer than the old dated ones. the pine clad rooms and african themed hallways have definately had thier day, but they new rooms in lighter colours much more modern and spacious feeling. on site bar and restaurant were surprisingly good too, had a really nice meal here. Just dont expect breakfast. unfortunately the advertised breakfast restaurant is only open on weekends, so we were dissapointed we couldnt eat here on a thursday morning (this is not advertised anywhere. or even mentioned in in-room breakfast menu). if it wasnt for that would have given 5 stars. really enjoyed the hot spa pool in the evening after coming back from cycling that day

The shower curtain was a bit out dated and the bath tub but for the rest it was pleasant.
