    Its decent but wouldn’t be my first choice in Mthatha

    I liked that it was easy to find, self catering area was clean, break fast option was good and sanitation, fridge satisfactory

    WiFi did not work. My room had a strong scent, which I understand was meant to enhance the ambiance, but it was too strong for my liking. The receptionist commented on my appearance within a few minutes of seeing me, which I found unprofessional and frankly uncalled for.
