Home Away From Home

Firstly, the staff were fantastic! Very respectful and always willing to help. My space was always cleaned whenever I requested it to be. My son came to visit during my stay and was given a room right next to mine. No quibbles. I enjoyed having breakfast at De La Creme. Lovely staff there.

The room was a little too dark for me but that was sorted out reasonably quickly and there was an issue with privacy but that was dealt with satisfactorily with the addition of a lace curtain

Very good

Pleasant and comfortable.

The location of the guest house was excellent with numerous shops and restaurants within walking distance. The nearest mall/shopping centre is the splendid Campus Square which is a short walking distance from the guest house. I normally used the Uber extensively to get around as it is cheap and convenient.The rooms are ensuite with air-conditioning and are equipped with a fridge, TV, microwave oven, cutlery and crockery. The furniture is of good quality. Laundry services are provided by the guest house at an additional charge. Breakfast at the property is complimentary and is served at the restaurant across the road. I normally do not take breakfast in the mornings except occasionally. The quality of breakfast at the restaurant was very good and I always had the cheese and mushroom omelette served with toast and condiments, coffee and juice. The staff at the restaurant and the guest house are polite and helpful and take their responsibilities seriously. The property promptly responds to complaints made by the guests and do their best to rectify the problem. On the whole I had a good stay.

Passable

The staff was friendly and its near to the food places. I enjoyed the streaming service. Liked the fact that because it was raining we were given an extra blanket to keep warm

Was not happy that breakfast was included in the room rate and was told on the day that the restaurant is closed. We were not even offered a discount for the property not including the breakfast which was paid for.
