Nice hotel, decent rooms and amenities. Poor customer service. Food was late, badly cooked, raw, coffee was disgusting, and breakfast, lunch and dinner orders were wrong every time

Had a pleasant experience at the Aark Guesthouse. Aletta at the front desk was so accommodating and helpful. Really had a great experience from the moment we checked in to the moment we left.
