The place was clean, the staff was very friendly and they responded quickly to our requests/issues. Clean linen, spacious rooms, working elevator, quiet environment. Same breakfast options throughout our stay - definitely boring.

The property is old and not updated. No amenities in the room. Generally a disappointed but we basically just slept there and did our activities. Would not recommend

The check-in was nice and the room looked good. The issue was there was no fan or air con and it was very hot in the room, so we had to leave the windows/doors to the balcony open. This resulted in us recieveing mosquito bites all over our faces and arms. Very unpleasant. The rooms at least need fans so you can keep the bugs out. The shower drain was also blocked so you had to turn it off every minute or so to allow it to drain and not overflow. The breakfast was good. Overall the hotel is nice just needs some final thoughts like fans in the place of having windows open or window screens as there are many mosquitos in the area that will come in if the windows are open. Had more bug bites here in one night than our entire camping tour throughout southern Africa!

Alles sauber und die Lage ist zentral / direkt am Jetty und Meer, aber: die Bilder täuschen einen viel höheren Standard vor. Tatsächlich erhielt ich ein dunkles und sehr hellhöriges Zimmer im Hinterhof mit Parkplatz vor dem Fenster. Die Einrichtung war rudimentär, es gab z.B. nicht mal einen Fön. Das Internet war sehr schwach, weder im Zimmer noch im Frühstücksraum nutzbar. Frühstück war ok (leckere Brötchen, frisches Obst, Eier auf Bestellung), aber der Frühstücksraum hat eher Jugendherbergsstil und auch keinen schönen Blick nach draußen. Empfang und Service wirkten recht distanziert und eher auf größere Gruppen eingestellt.

Great location directly opposite the pier. Extensive breakfast buffet. Kind, professional, friendly staff, (except for one guy whose job included wiping down outside railings and furniture, etc, who repeatedly stared inappropriately every time we were coming and going, and did not ever say hello or smile). The primary negative was having no heat in the room, as the evenings were quite chilly. We had to keep our coats on until we went to bed, which made those hours uncomfortable.
