Ficamos no 3º andar, não tinha elevador e não nos ajudaram com as malas. Além disso, a água estava com uma cor estranha e parecia ser reutilizada.

Abbiamo soggiornato in una casetta di fianco all' hotel. La pulizia non perfetta e la colazione semplice.

Bom hotel, unidade de self catering ruim
Ficamos na unidade que eles chamam de self catering, pois estávamos em 6 pessoas. É como se fosse uma casinha nos fundos do hotel. Pontos positivos: boa localização, boas camas, ar condicionado nos quartos, amplo estacionamento, staff muito gentil e atencioso, boa limpeza, bom café da manhã (à parte). Pontos negativos: casa escura, móveis de uns 80 anos atrás na sala. Sinal de Wi-fi não funciona em toda casa, pois vem do prédio principal. Travesseiros ruins. Toalhas parecem ser bem usadas. Lençóis são ok. Praticamente não tem utensílios na cozinha. O pior mesmo foi o banheiro... um único banheiro na casa e minúsculo! No dia que chegamos, a mangueira do chuveiro estava furada e molhou o banheiro todo (problema resolvido no dia seguinte). Acumula água no box. Assento do vaso sanitário de madeira. Me hospedaria novamente, não na unidade de self catering, mas tentaria os quartos do hotel.

Gutes Hotel für eine Nacht
Wir schiefen hier eine Nacht auf der Durchreise von der Wild Coast zum Tsitsikamma NP. Das Hotel ist zweckmäßig einrichtet und mit dem Auto 10 min von der Waterfront. Wir hatten das "Behindertenzimmer" mit großem Bad, aber die Dusche war lange nicht geputzt worden (tritt starlem Chlorgeruch im Zimmer). Ziemlich enttäuschend auch das Frühstück: ss vorbestellte, weiche Frühstücksei war blau (=alt) und hart und der Obstsalat aus der Dose. Insgesamt trotzdem ok für den relativ günstigen Preis.
