Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are practically soundproof, allowing for a comfortable TV experience, but noise from the bar and parking area may disrupt peace. Despite this, the rooms are well-equipped with all amenities needed, though there was a small issue with a charged cappuccino. Service goes the extra mile, from friendly and helpful staff to valuable recommendations. The location offers central access to Midlands Meander with various dining and activity options but may face challenges in some surrounding areas. The dining experience is decent but could have more appeal, offering traditional dishes and a delightful dessert. Overall, facilities are satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, offering a central spot within the Midlands Meander with plenty of restaurant options close by, the noise from the outside restaurant seating by Julianne was a downside. The rooms, though comfortable and clean, were affected by noise from the very noisy bar nearby. The service was informative and helpful, especially when it came to exploring the area, but the mornings were not really quiet for a peaceful sleep-in. The dining options were decent, with delicious traditional babotie but limited choices for vegetarians. Overall, a great location with some noise concerns.
