The service in this hotel was absolutely amazing 5 stars. They were welcoming and they were well prepared for a last minute booking. The hotel has definitely aged and if a revamp does happen I would definitely love to see them working with the antique aesthetic rather than going for a full modern revamp. I say this because the aged look of the hotel gave it a bit of a classy, slowed down feel and added to a calming ambiance.
The staff booked me a top floor room without me requesting, and the views were amazing. The wifi was a bit tricky as you needed to be a Tsogo sun member to enjoy the full benefits of unlimited wifi.
The food was actually quite fresh however the menu lacked in diversity, especially for vegans and vegetarians. The bar was also only open at certain times but the staff made sure I was assisted regardless of the times the bar was open. They could use an upgrade in terms of their coffee options as well.
COVID compliant and in general a very spacious hotel. The rooms also showed aging and the sheets were slightly itchy, however this appeared to be from a lack of use rather than uncleanliness.
Despite all the glitches listed above this stay was quite good. I hope to see an upgraded embrace of the antique feel the hotel has.
