Baie lekker oornagplekkie wat naby is aan Loftus.

Ons het laat gearriveer en die gasheer het vir ons gewag, vir seker gemaak ons is reg en ingeboek. Baie vriendelike gasheer. Die gastehuis is lekker naby aan Loftus!

Al wat mens nodig het is 'n badkamer en 'n lekker bed, en die gasvrou was puik.

Ons het heerlik geslaap. Ons sal weer daar gaan oornag as ons weer Stad toe gaan.

Uitstekende gasvryheid.

Van die oomblik dat ons daar aangekom het tot ons vetrek het Gideon, Dina en almal betrokke daar, ons welkom laat voel en die ekstra myl gestap — tot laataand die hek oopgemaak. Dankie.

Die diens was baie goed. Die bed was baie gemaklik en skoon.

Toe ons daar kom, was die vloere vuil en die handdoeke hard en gebleik. Hulle het dadelik die vloere gewas en handdoeke geruil.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Ligging is perfek. Asblik in die badkamer was nog vol. Deursigtige gordyn in die badkamer. Geen waaier. Hulle het moeite gedoen vir 'n tafel in die kamer sodat ek kon werk. Soos die Engelsman se "pay cheap, stay cheap".

Onbeskryflike gasvryheid en vriendelikheid.

Dina, die bestuurder, is 'n engel uit die hemel. Sy is so vriendelik en het ons behoorlik op die hande gedra. Ons het soos eregaste gevoel. Vriendelik, netjies, veilig, rustige atmosfeer en baie goeie waarde vir jou geld. Ek sal oor en oor hier wil bly. Ek het lanklaas sulke goeie diens gekry en mense wat die heeltyd beskikbaar is om te help. Dit is wonderlik. Julle is puik. Baie dankie.

Gemaklik en vriendelik.

Dina en haar man was baie gasvry en hulpvardig. Dit is die perfekte plek as jy iets by Loftus Versfeld Stadium moet bywoon. Die gastehuis is loopafstand van die stadium en selfs in die aand na die konsert was dit veilig om terug te stap.

Ligging perfek, gasvryheid goed, netheid en instandhouding uiters swak.

Die beddegoed is dun en uitgewas, gevlek. Kussingslope kon jy nie eers op slaap. Beddegoed is te klein vir die bed. Muurprop is uit die muur gebreek. Swart bol hare half onder die bed gekry. Ligte hang uit die plafon. Toiletpapier was 'n half gebruikte rol. TV is nie vasgemaak aan die "TV brackets".

Location perfect, hospitality good, cleanliness and maintenance extremely poor.

The bedding is thin and washed out, stained. You couldn't even sleep on pillowcases. Bedding is too small for the bed. Wall plug is broken out of the wall. Found a black ball of hair half under the bed. Lights hang from the ceiling. Toilet paper was a half used roll. TV is not attached to the "TV brackets".

Goed, maar kan verbeter.

Die gasheer was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, veral met spesiale versoeke soos vooraf gereel. Die bad in die kamer staan nie gelyk nie so dus as mens stort en omdraai is dit 'n groot geraas. Ek sal voorstel dat elke kamer 'n afstandbeheer vir die hek kry, of meer afstandbeheerder beskikbaar gestel word, want dit is nogals 'n frustrasie om in en uit te beweeg as die gasheer nie naby is om oop te maak nie. Anders as dit was dit 'n heel gemaklike verblyf en sal weer daar oornag.

Good, but can improve.

The host was very friendly and helpful, especially with special requests as arranged in advance. The bathtub in the room is not level so when you shower and turn around it is a big noise. I would suggest that each room gets a remote for the gate, or more remotes are made available, as it is quite a frustration to move in and out if the host is not around to open. Other than that it was a very comfortable stay and would stay there again.

Gemaklike verblyf.

Gemaklike verblyf, loopafstand vanaf Loftus. Beddens was netjies en gemalik met genoeg warm komberse. Bad het gelek. Raserige mede-gaste wat ná 01:00 vanaf rugby teruggekeer het, was steurend. My voorstel sou wees dat eienaars die gaste versoek om voor 23:00 of 24:00 terug te wees ten einde ander gaste in ag te neem.

Comfortable accommodation.

Comfortable accommodation walking distance from Loftus. The beds were neat and comfy with enough warm blankets. Leaky bath tub. Noisy fellow guests who only returned from the rugby at 01:00, disturbance. The owner should request that guests get back before 23:00 or 24:00 to consider other guests.

Ek vra graag om verskoning vir die ongerief wat julle ervaar het tydens julle verblyf by ons. Ek het my personeel opdrag gegee om in die toekoms die vuur voor 22:00 te stook. Verder sluit ek aan by my personeellid, Khanyo, deur verskoning te vra vir die gaste wat lawaaierig was in die woonkamer. Ek onderneem ook om 'n nota in al die kamers te sit om gaste te versoek om ander gaste se gerief te respekteer deur nie te raas nie, veral na 22:00.

Moes 2 nagte daar bly terwyl my man 'n oogoperasie ondergaan het.

My handsak met belangrike dokumente, beursie, ekstra geld vir hospitaalbybetaling, man se trouring, ens. is uit my kamer van die enkelbed af gesteel deur die venster ─ GROOT SKADE! Het blykbaar voorheen met iemand anders ook gebeur, maar geen waarskuwing is aan ons gegee om nie iets naby aan vensters te plaas nie. Geen kluis in die kamer beskikbaar nie.Moeilik om hare droog te blaas, muurprop en spieël nie gerieflik geleë nie. Het aandete bespreek vir die tweede aand, baie smaakvol, maar teen die prys vind ek dit nogal duur.

Had to stay there for 2 nights while my husband had eye surgery.

My handbag with important documents, wallet, extra money for hospital co-payment, husband's wedding ring, etc. was stolen from my room from the single bed through the window ─ HUGE DAMAGE! Apparently happened to someone else before too, but no warning was given to us not to put anything close to windows. No safe available in the room. Difficult to blow dry hair, wall plug and mirror not conveniently located. Booked dinner for the second night, very tasty, but for the price I find it quite expensive.

Dis die mees beknopte kamer denkdaar en is 'n afskeepkamer in vergelyking met een van die ander kamers wat ek gesien het. My huishulpkamer hier by my huis is baie beter as hierdie kamer wat teen R800 per nag uitgehuur word. Dit is skokkend. Die kamer maak geen ergonomiese sin nie, en is verseker nie geskik vir meer as 'n enkellopende, rokende man nie. Die bed-, hangkas- en deur-kombinasie werk glad nie. Om by die hangkas in te kom, moet jy die kamerdeur toe maak en dan is daar nie spasie om verby die bed te beweeg nie. Die hele kort tydjie wat ons vier mense in daardie spasie probeer beweeg het, was net 'n frustrasie! Die kamer is nie geskik vir meer as een persoon nie. Ons is nie armlastiges wat van aalmoese leef nie. Ek het bespreek en goeie geld betaal vir wat ek aanvaar het gaan lyk soos op die foto en geskik wees vir 4 mense. Maar ek voel om die bos gelei. Ek was so teleurgesteld en het 'n soos 'n gek gevoel omdat ek hierdie verblyf vir my man en kinders gekies het en hulle daaraan moes onderwerp. En boonop al hierdie frustrasie, stink die kamer na sigaretrook. Ons ly almal aan hooikoors en het die volgende oggend almal met verstopte sinusse en erge hoofpyn opgestaan, soveel so dat ons medisyne daarvoor moes gaan koop. Ons het vroeg die oggend na die eerste nag verblyf uitgeteken en nie die tweede nag daar tuisgegaan nie. Ons moes die strate van Pretoria deurry en gaan klop aan deure om geskikte verblyf te vind vir die tweede nag. Ons is nie deur Park Gables terugbetaal vir die 2de nag wat ons nie gebly het nie. Moreel en eties sou dit reg wees van hulle om wel ons geld terug te gee, maar ek sien nie kans om te stry met iemand wat in die eerste plek gedink het dat mens 'n gesin van vier in kamer 13 kan inprop nie. Die twee dames wat aan diens was laataand en vroegoggend, asook kombuispersoneel was pragtig en baie vriendelik. Geen negatiewe gevoelens oor die personeel met wie ons wel in kontak gekom het nie.

Extremely disappointed.

It's the most cramped room I think and is a neglected room compared to one of the other rooms I've seen. My maid's room here at my house is much better than this room which is rented out at R800 per night. This is shocking. The room makes no ergonomic sense, and is certainly not suitable for more than a single, smoking man. The bed, wardrobe and door combo doesn't work at all. To get to the hanging closet, you have to close the bedroom door and then there is no space to move past the bed. The whole short time that we four people tried to move in that space was just a frustration! The room is not suitable for more than one person. We are not paupers who live on alms. I booked and paid good money for what I assumed was going to look like the picture and be suitable for 4 people. But I feel led around the bush. I was so disappointed and felt like a fool for choosing this accommodation for my husband and children and having to subject them to it. And on top of all this frustration, the room reeks of cigarette smoke. We all suffer from hay fever and the next morning we all woke up with blocked sinuses and bad headaches, so much so that we had to buy medicine for them. We checked out early in the morning after the first night's accommodation and did not stay there the second night. We had to drive through the streets of Pretoria and knock on doors to find suitable accommodation for the second night. We were not refunded by Park Gables for the 2nd night we did not stay. Morally and ethically it would be right for them to give us our money back, but I see no chance of arguing with someone who thought that you could cram a family of four into room 13 in the first place. The two ladies who were on duty late at night and early in the morning, as well as kitchen staff were beautiful and very friendly. No negative feelings about the staff we did come into contact with.
