Opt for a Room with a View

Several guests mentioned that the views from the rooms were spectacular. Opting for a room with a balcony facing the fountain comes highly recommended.

Consider Load Shedding

Some guests experienced issues with load shedding, resulting in no lights during the day and limited Wi-Fi. If you rely heavily on electricity and internet, it's advisable to inquire about backup power options or alternative arrangements during load shedding periods.

Check for Cross Breeze

In warmer weather, some rooms may benefit from a cross breeze to help with ventilation, as the air conditioning may not be fully effective. Consider this when selecting a room, especially if you prefer natural ventilation.

Limited Sunbeds

If you're planning to spend a lot of time by the pool, be aware that there are limited sunbeds available, which may lead to competition for space during peak times.

Address Internet Connectivity Concerns

Some guests experienced issues with the internet connection, with measured speeds lower than expected. If reliable internet is crucial for your stay, it may be worth confirming the current status of the connection with the hotel.

Inquire About Smoking Policy

If you are sensitive to smoke or prefer a smoke-free environment, it's advisable to inquire about the hotel's smoking policy, as smoking on the property is allowed and may impact certain areas.

Consider Early Morning Departures

For guests with early morning flights, it's important to note that the N2 freeway can become congested, potentially affecting travel plans. Plan accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.

Plan for Limited Public Transport

The hotel is not well-served by public transport, so if you're reliant on this mode of transportation, it's advisable to plan alternative travel arrangements in advance.

Address Room Temperature Concerns

Some guests found the air conditioning to be ineffective, leading to warmer room temperatures. If you prefer cooler room conditions, it may be beneficial to confirm the status of the air conditioning system before your stay.

Consider Alternative Lighting

During load shedding, some guests found the lighting to be insufficient. If you anticipate being affected by load shedding, it may be helpful to bring along additional lighting options for your comfort.
