I really appreciated the cleanliness and spaciousness of my double room, especially with the lovely bathroom that featured both a shower and a bathtub. but I faced some significant issues that affected my stay. The lack of power backup during the loadshedding and insufficient heating in winter made things quite uncomfortable. Ultimately, while there were some highlights, there were also frustrating drawbacks.
