Ā Ā Ā Read moreFour of us stayed there for one night in two rooms. The hotel building and location is fantastic. The room up the spiral staircase (room 5?) was good, had a fantastic balcony view over Pretoria and was nicely decorated and seemed quite clean, however the fridge was unplugged and shut so stank when opened. The other room immediately below was not clean and had the most horrible open-plan sunken bathroom immediately upon entering while a domestic fridge-freezer dominated the bedroom area! I don't know about you but I do NOT want to sit on a toilet in an open plan living space! It was also not very clean at all. However the worst thing about the hotel was the breakfast. There were only a handful of guests (between 5 and 10) and the staff didn't bother to make any effort at all. The butter was rank and in a shared open dish so you'd no idea what or who had been touching it. The small tray of baked beans was stone cold and we had to ask for it to be heated in a microwave. With only a small number of rooms it should be more than possible to cook bespoke breakfasts for each guest. The receptionist (manager?) had the radio blaring annoying music in the dining room from a stereo the whole time, so I got up and turned it off. Despite the great view from one room none of us would consider staying again. ||The owners clearly do not take much of an interest and the place is not run well by the small amount of staff we saw. Finding someone who cares about the guest experience and putting them in charge, improving the cleanliness and ensuring a good quality breakfast was provided would make a world...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI often come to Pretoria in business and also for pleasure since 2020 and since I discovered this place, I have never stayed in any other place in Pretoria. It is a real gem. Secure, well-guarded, and super peaceful. The neighborhood is lovely too, perfect for a morning jog or evening walk.
Itās a great mix of city comfort and nature. The rooms open up to the pool and a really nice covered BBQ area and come with an amazing view over Pretoria. We do every second dinner at home braaing and watching fantastic sunsets over Pretoria.
The recently renovated rooms vary from singles to big family ones, and some are honestly bigger than your average apartment. Highly recommended the room #3 which is spacious enough for a comfortable stay and working in privacy.
The owners - Sharon and Marius, are hands-on and always around to help with anythingāwhether itās finding a good spot to eat, booking transport, or even arranging something more adventurous like hunting trips.
The kitchen staff are super friendly and happy to change things up if you want something different.
All in all, for me itās a really welcoming, well-run place like no other to stay...
