Slept well. The beds are very comfortable.
We made good use of room no. 41. We had no teaspoons, and the drawer was also broken. No. 42 had only one.

Hello Anita
Ek is baie bly julle het lekker geslaap.
Ek vra groot om verskoning vir die teelepels, asook vir die gebroke laai. Dis onverskoonbaar.
As julle weer 'n draai kom maak, laat my weet, dan maak ek op vir daardie gebroke laai.
Lekker dag verder

Bad experience in Kathu Inn.
My husband and I stayed overnight at Kathu Inn. We book regularly on the website to ensure we get value for our money. On the face of it, according to the website, the information and photos appeared to be decent, tidy, good, average accommodation that was 100% for our needs for one night. We were very tired after a whole day on the road and were unpleasantly surprised with the poor service and accommodation at Kathu Inn when we arrived there in the late afternoon. Upon arrival, my husband checked in at reception with our printout from the website and was assigned a room to which we immediately drove and started carrying luggage. After moving in, we quickly noticed that there was a double bed that seemed a bit small for the 2 of us, that the room was sparsely furnished and that it didn't look very clean, but we could manage with that because we were so tired. What was strange was that there is only 1 glass and 1 coffee mug in the room. I then immediately called reception and asked that they bring us another set as we are 2 people. Great was our disillusionment when the receptionist said to me: "But you've booked online so I presumed that there will only be one person". We still can't find the connection between an online booking and that it immediately means it's only 1 person, but we were then asked if we wanted to move to a room for 2 people which we of course immediately accepted. We then had to carry all the luggage back to our car and then we could drive to the other room at the very end of the buildings. We were already unhappy about the poor service so far. As we drove to the other room we immediately noticed that the parked vehicles of the other guests we passed were contractor/work vehicles according to the brands and signs on the vehicles. The double room was then on the 2nd floor and we then noticed when carrying our luggage that the stairs were very dirty as if they had not been cleaned recently. The room was then equipped for 2 people, which we were relieved about, but the room was also neglected, sparsely furnished, the shower's drain cover was broken, the TV was no longer fixed to the wall in front of the bed where one could comfortably watch TV not, but on the left side on the only small page where we would like to complete business on the laptop. My husband then had to work on the bed which made it uncomfortable. The bedside cabinet that should have been on the window side had been moved out to next to the cabinet on which cups stand. We had to move it in next to the bed ourselves so that I could put the necessary things down for the night. The room was neat, but it was not very clean, also no lace curtains or blinds like the other room and the bed was really very hard, which caused us to have very little sleep that night. The breakfast was edible. It was an unpleasant experience for us on the 1st night of our trip to Gauteng for a funeral, which we would prefer never to have and certainly would not recommend to anyone. Our suggestion is that the website preferably remove this accommodation, 'Kathu Inn' from your list to save future guests from this experience so that they try other guest houses in Kathu or instead drive to the next decent accommodation in another town. Or the other alternative is that the website clearly states on the website on this accommodation that it is 'contractor accommodation'. From years of staying overnight at different accommodation types, we know from experience that contractor accommodation is not at the rating level of, for example, the usual 3 star type accommodation for tourists or other guests. The maintenance, linen, cleanliness, hygiene, finishing and attention to comfort and finer details of contractor accommodation is just not on the same level as tourist accommodation. Although at least the service has always been up to standard with whom the website is connected. This was the very first time in years that we have booked accommodation through the website that we have been disappointed in the place and the service. We are not people who complain easily, but it was so bad for us that we had to mention it.

I will not recommend Kathu Inn to my friends although the location is good.
Maybe if you need to spend the night here for business it would be more acceptable, but for something relaxing I wouldn't recommend it. We spent the night here on our way back from the Western Cape to Gauteng and the location was perfect for us. There were many Telkom workers checked in at the same time as us and it was very noisy until late in the evening and again early in the morning. Whether it was them or other guests I don't know. I understand that management can't control this, so I'm just mentioning it. The closet in the room smelled so bad of smoke that we couldn't pack our clothes in it. However, we found the kitchenette and fridge very handy. Might suggest having a mirror where the wall plugs are so you can blow dry your hair. The shower head was very weak and half clogged. The reception was very friendly and the breakfast was quite acceptable. Don't expect Springbok Inn, this is in a different category. Hope this helps prospective guests.

Dear Antoinette
Kathu Inn is both a business hotel and a stopover for tourists, we welcome all guests that need a place to lay their head.
The water pressure, as well as the quality of water in Kathu, is very difficult to manage, but we do our best to ensure excellent service to our guests.

Ons vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief wat ervaar word, aangesien ons nie jou verwagting gelyk het nie. Enige probleme moet onmiddellik aan die balie of die algemene bestuurder gewees het wat 'n beter verblyf sou verseker het.
