“In my opinion, this Pietermaritzburg hotel balances affordability with essential comforts, particularly for self-catering needs. I noted its proximity to local attractions like the KwaZulu-Natal Museum, yet some might find the surrounding area's noise and activity a trade-off for convenience. For those prioritizing location and budget, it's a viable option with friendly staff and practical amenities.”
