The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with friendly service, conveniently located near public transport and Mall of the South. The dining experience was delightful with freshly made sandwiches but lacked variety in the options. Overall, it provides good value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was impeccably clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The housekeeping team did an excellent job. However, I found the price a bit on the higher side, which impacted the overall value for money. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch, and the location was perfect for accessing the Mall Of The South and public transport.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were impeccably clean and the bed was superbly comfortable. The housekeeping did a great job in keeping everything nice and tidy. The service was top-notch, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The location is superb, with easy access to the Mall of The South and public transport just a stone's throw away. However, the dining options were slightly limited, and the homemade sweets were a nice touch. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor downsides.
