Fantastic
"The hotel was so so. We were at first not given the room we were promised during booking - ie on the river facing upper floor. Later when we asked, they then changed the room for us. Otherwise, service is passable for a small set-up of this price range. We cannot expect more.
The booking agency, on the other hand, was excellent. Miss Phansee took the trouble to email me to confirm the booking, ensuring that I would get the river facing room. And later when we changed travel dates, she was equally efficient in amending the booking. And the airport pick-up was all well and properly arranged. 5 ***** !!"

"I enjoyed the peace and quiet and privacy that place afforded. However, my impression was that I had booked a Mokong View room, and I had the impression that a balcony was involved. Well, there was a balcony, but it was on the frst floor, more like a...small porch. It was pleasant enough that I did not complain, but if I had it to do again, I would specify that I would like a second floor room, and probably one in the first building since the desk staff there seemed to be much more informed than the kind and did-their-best (and often consulted with the first building) staff in the second roadside building.
But would I stay there again? Absolutely!"
