False Features Described

Stayed one night from 22-23 May 2018. Arrived at 18h51 and was told they only offer 15 hours a day room service, which was not specified on the limited hours when I booked. Indicated "premium bedding" on description of the room, however the bedding fabric is very old and not modern or soft or premium at all. Description indicated "Satellite TV Channels" in the room, however only 12 channels to view and no satellite channels as described, only channels were SABC 1/SABC 2 / SABC 3 / E-tv / and the rest were news channels - no movie channels whatsoever and no "satellite" channels as indicated with the description. Would not recommend as features are falsely described.

My stay in Ladysmith Royal Hotel

My stay at the Royal hotel was so amazing, the rooms and the bed linen was so perfect. The breakfast was delicious, but I have a suggestion to make about the fridge in the room, they must put fridges in the rooms and include the payment in the room's fees. Regards Janet
