General comment
Selborne Hotel is home away from home. Christine and team give the place a warm touch. The rooms are top notch and the Wi-Fi is excellent. However, the outside and furniture reception area look ‘tired’ and outdated. It hardly reflects the high standard of decor and modern upgrades characteristic of the rooms.

Good room, helpful staff and good internet. This property works best as a business hotel. However many parts of the property are in disrepair and a refurbishment program is underway (not complete). This means dust and noise. Guests who are not from Southern Africa may find some aspects of this property challenging.

Nette Hotelzimmer aber falsche Werbung
Hotel ist sehr zentral in der Stadt gelegen. Die Zimmer sind schön und gross. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Leider sind die in der Werbung beschriebenen zwei Restaurants, die Bar und auch die Poolbar nicht in Betrieb. Für die Bar muss das Hotel verlassen werden und kann der Betrieb nebenan, falls geöffnet, besucht werden. Ärgerlich für die Gäste und auch schade für das nette Team im Hotel. Während den 5 Tagen im Hotel fand zusätzlich ein Kongress statt, so dass leider auch der Pool nicht benutzt werden konnte. Das Hotel sollte so was den Gästen vorher mitteilen.
