Must walk 3 blocks. As you enter the building, you feel you are entering a jail and feel terribly insecure. We got locked inside the room and had to trow keys throught the window to someone who can enter and open the door. If there is no space in the parking lot, must leave the car in the street and the security officer says it is not safe at all ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Johan Nov 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Johan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela Mar 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The pillows were a little worrisome and it was quite noisy on the street outside. ##### Pamela Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 14, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr schmutzig Es war leider alles sehr schmutzig vorallem das Bad wir waren sehr froh als die 2 Nächte vorbei waren und würden nicht noch einmal buchen Die Lage ist in Ordnung ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony Jan 10, 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort ##### Anthony ### 6/10 Okay #### Mbulelo, port elizabeth Sep 10, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### avarage it wasnt what i have expected the fact that the parking lot is not safe and no breakfast and few small things otherwise I have enjoyed thanks. ##### Mbulelo
