Sandila Hotels

"About R7,300 (£64) a night for two inc excellent bespoke breakfast and buffet, via Hotels.com. Immaculate hotel in upmarket, but convenient area. Part of the Sarovar chain. Ir doesn’t have the historic feel the blurb alludes to, but it nonetheless does feel quite special. Uniformed staff greet one as you enter and leave. Lovely decor throughout. Rooms are first class: spacious and very well appointed. This would be several hundred pounds a night in Europe. "

"Nice"

"The property is very old and the maintenance is poor no hot water no proper power and till the hotel car or bus is not going and even if I book the room bo proper reception "

"Don't trust other reviews... Expedia needs to vet its listings more thoroughly. Rooms look decent but hide old cracks and the smell of fungus. We got an extra bed and both the base and mattress were of poor quality. The staff acts confused and lazy. It took us a lot of instructions for basic stuff like toiletries and cleaning. They haven't bothered to replace old equipment at the diner - my father almost got a first-degree burn when a milk pot with a broken handle fell. And it took them 30m to clean the spill! We decided to complain to the manager, who was courteous enough to acknowledge everything. But the reception stalled us for 12 hours..."

"It was really an amazing experience...nicely maintained property...excellent food...highly cooperative staff...excellent in every respect.."
