Transvaal Holidays from AU$1,814

Perfect location, friendly staff. Room had dust under the radiator and caulk in the shower had mold. As did the windowsill in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. No view out the Windows and hall way was pitch black until you walked a few feet into it. Slept well. Appreciated the ceiling fan and AC.

The Hotel was ok.... Not bad, not great, just ok. We arrived early and tried to check in, but we could not. No big deal, they took our luggage, we changed and hit the streets. I had major jet lag and needed to take a bath once we came in for the evening. Drew a bath, soaked and relaxed, BUT WAIT... when I drained the tub, it backed up the shower. The grime and smell that came out was horrid. So apparently the tub, shower and sink drains were all connected. So taking a shower, it would flood the floor and back up into the tub. Brushing your teeth backed up into the shower.... Never ending issue and not enough towels to keep the floor dry. This was the worst part of the Hotel stay. All the Staff were really nice, even bringing me a new hair dryer because I couldn't figure out how to use the one in the room, lol. The area is decent, cars, bikes, and motorbikes go VERY FAST on this tiny wide street. There is a convenient store right across the street which was nice to grab snacks and extra drinks. It is a little walk to get anywhere you want. If you have walking issues, this might not be the place for you as far as location. We loved the extra walks to take off a few waffle calories, lol. The area is not sketchy, but there were a few vagrants, just say no or shake your head and they move on. Overall, it was a good stay, just couldn't give 5 stars due to the plumbing.

Rooms clean. Excellent staff. Great breakfast. However minimal tea and coffee in the rooms with only paper cups supplied. Also power points for the kettle not conveniently situated. These were the only minus points in an otherwise great stay.
