the south african female receptionist gave a very warm welcome on arrival! our feature king room was fine. it was large, well equipped, beautifully decorated, and stylish. the whole hotel is decorated beautifully including the bar , restaurant , and lounge.
the milk wasn't refilled after the first night, so i couldn't make tea on day two.

elemis productsoil heaterscold room
The breakfast had Elemis products in the room, I did love that.
I booked this hotel for some r&r, however, I was so disappointed. Upon entering our room, I noticed it was very cold, two small electric oil filled heaters did little to warm the space. It was the radiators were just for show, annoying and left me feeling cold all night.
