This is a very basic sleep over B&B with not much to offer other than just sleeping. The bed was comfortable enough but the shower is just a cubicle in the room and the toilet has two cupboard doors throug which one goes to access the toilet. The establishment is located in a neighborhood not suited for a B&B The breakfast was okay even though I only had two fried eggs and toast. It’s a case of getting what you paid for.

Clean rooms and a nice place to spend the night before flying out. A little loud at night with kids screaming and running around until midnight though.

1. a modern style room which is very clean and safe 2. a set of necessary amenities are provided 3. hospitality of staff - not just friendly, but very flexible - (I had to leave at very early in the morning for my flight. Since it is way before the breakfast time, they have provided box breakfast for me to take away at the check out!)

Offers potential but not a place for me
I travel a lot and have experienced a number of places that just "miss the mark". This is one of them. The rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need - fridge, coffee, kettle, a nice shower, hot water and fresh linen etc. The staff are friendly and the property is modern with a swimming pool and ample parking. But it misses the mark in a number of ways. First the room is odd in that the toilet is part of the room, and although tucked away behind a separating wall, it has no door. Fine if in your room alone but I'd find that awkward if I was sharing. Secondly the mattress was a foam mattress - a good one mind you - but not great for your back if you sleep on your stomach. The design of the guest house has many of the rooms opening to the breakfast area - so forget about sleeping past about 06h30 when the breakfast area is being prepared. Rooms closer to reception suffer from the noise of arriving guests and the rumble of the electric gate. So this is not a place for light sleepers but great for those who are up at the crack of dawn and sleep deeply. The guest house is located a short distance from the city centre and I was happy with the location having a hire car. It's not within walking distance of restaurants although a bit down the road is a petrol station shop and a small supermarket. I would not stay here again and it's a pity because I can see the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make it a nice guesthouse. It's just not a design for me.

Transit stay
Booking was for a stopover before continuing my journey early the next day. Well located for access to the highway. The hotel itself was new and well presented with comfortable beds. There is however no control over other residents as people located alongside me returned after a night out and proceeded to make loud noise until about 1:45am with no intervention from staff.

We were honestly tempted to move to another hotel on the afternoon of our arrival. The ladies working in the lobby were talking where we could hear everything and I had to ask them to be quiet so my husband could rest. The hotel is build lovely in "a modern new look" but not well thought through. The title floors and the door have big gap between them This creates noise through out the hotel! We could hear everything from a cell phone, conversations, other guests and the kitchen preparing food. It is sad because I believe they are really trying to do a great job. The staff needs more training but it is obvious they care and want to do the right thing. I wish the best for this new business. We will not return.
