The hotel has a great location, very close to the Sterkfontein caves, which made it easy for me to explore the area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but they could use a little update. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay pleasant overall. The dining options were decent but could use some variety. I found the value for money to be reasonable, but I wish the amenities were more modern.
