This is an honest opinion about the standard room I was put in.
First of all it is quite apparent that this place was old and then renovated, you can tell by just looking at the windows. The rooms are small, just enough space for everything in it.The fridge seems to be an after thought as it is placed beside the room table and connected to the only 3 pong plug that is available on the desk. So basically bring your adapter unless you just need the 2 pong one and there are no plugs on the sides of the bed to connect to. The shower pump or whatever installed in the ceiling makes an annoying winding noise when you're in the shower. The TV looks atrocious to say the least. It seems to have gone past its usage age and watching anything on it is a pure mess. More worryingly is that management seems to know this because at 8am this morning a handyman woke me from my sleep to come and fix the TV. I just merely told him I did not complain about the TV and he left. I know very well that there is nothing he could of done to fix it unless he was to replace it. That leads me on to the service. The check in was good. The lady there was very nice and the process was quick. However the old lady that came to knock on my door to deliver my breakfast was extremely rude. I was in the shower and by the time i was able to go open the door she was 2 rooms away and she just started blabbing on in Xhosa (I'm Sotho) about how I was not answering my door when they were trying to deliver my food. The lady that ran back to give me my food seemed fine though.
All in all if this place was priced significantly cheaper I'd be ok with what was was offered. The premium you pay does not equal what you receive by no stretch of the imagination. Simple example, you are offered Ricoffy coffee sachets to consume. If that is not a disjointment of what they perceive themselves to be and what they really are, then I don't...
Read moreWe stayed at Hotel Savoy and Conference Centre for one night. The hotel is easy to find and easily accessible from the main road. The room was decent – the bed was comfortable. The bathroom, though a bit small, was clean and tidy.||Unfortunately, the TV offered very limited channels, which was a bit disappointing. The biggest letdown of the stay, however, was the cold shower in the morning – definitely not something you want to deal with, especially on a cold, winter morning. ||Breakfast was okay but could be improved. It felt like mass catering, where unpopular items were left out for long periods and lacked freshness. I was particularly disappointed with the mushrooms – soggy and unappetising. The fruit selection was quite limited, but the omelette was a highlight and well-prepared.||Check-in and check-out were quick and efficient, though the reception area still has a screen separating staff and guests, which made the experience feel a bit cold and unwelcoming.||The walls a re quite thin so you literally hear everything from your neighbour or the corridor. There is renovations going on as well, so the noise from the construction is an issue if you prefer to start your day with peace and queite.||Overall, it’s a functional stopover hotel, but there's room for improvement, especially with hot water and the...

A group of ANC guys came through next to my room (Executive rooms), their level of noise was unbearable, couldn't sleep. Attempted to call reception / Hote Manager Godfrey to assist and send security to address the matter, phone rings several times with no success. Phoned again and fortunately, my call was answered this time around. Spoke to a lady to send security to assist and address the matter. 20 minutes goes by without any attendance to my query. Due to the unbearable level of noise, i went to knock on their door asking them to keep the noise down, the guys did not care, were drunk and unruly.Not sure if whether the reason for NO ASSISTANCE from Reception after my request could be the fact that the guys are perhaps untouchable due to their political association or what? That even the Hotel staff feels like they cannot address them. But this, was the worst night experience ever, considering the fact that I had to rest so that I can catch a morning flight. I can only imagine what happens in this hotel over the weekends. I would not recommend this hotel for stay over the weekend. Wonder if we are even safe if they cannot send security. PATHETIC!!!!!
