Stay was OK, would have been nice if the host was present to greet you and check if everything was OK and if you enjoyed your stay. Even if it was self check-in and check-out. Please come and welcome your guests if you want them to return to your place.

Veilig, toeganklik, gerieflik.

Perfekte verblyf vir enkelpersoon; sentraal geleë maar steeds in 'n stil area. Maklike en veilige toegang tot die plek. Interieur is prakties en keurig met al die nodige.

Loved the central location. Small, cosy, with everything that you need. Safe and secure.

Great to check in late, with no fuss when it comes to collecting the keys - awesome system. The host was very forthcoming in terms of the logistics via WhatsApp. Very streamlined check-in/out process. Makes everything easy. Can see that this room is equipped to deal with every season. And enjoyed the little outside area. Extremely appreciative of the safety, particularly when it comes to secure parking for your vehicle. Can really recommend Sweeter Than Sultana.

It was a cosy atmosphere and felt like you are at home, a well-located spot for a one-night stay. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone. The nice private area, I like the self-check-in/out option and very flexible. Wi-Fi works during load shedding. The Condo is exactly as described. Great place and good value for money!

Net reg vir rond ry.

Five te dik vir somer. Laken aanbeveel daaronder of iets ligter. Nie vir langer verblyf nie. Overnight tas is al wat jy daar kan hê. Min plek vir jou eie goed. Ontbyt maak 'n probleem as jy ontbyt wil maak. Dus ontbytpappe en muesli.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Just right for driving around.

Five too thick for summer. Sheet recommended underneath or something lighter. Not for longer stays. Overnight bag is all you can have there. Little space for your own stuff. Breakfast makes a problem if you want to make breakfast. So breakfast porridge and muesli.

Sweeter Than Sultana 's response

Hi Pearl. I have since added a flat sheet to the bedding sets, thank you for the valuable suggestion. The kitchenette is perfect for simple breakfasts including toast, yoghurt, hot beverages or cereal/porridge as there is no stove or oven for cooking purposes. Thank you so much for the review, I hope you had a lovely road trip further.

Rustige tyd gehad, ideaal vir een nag.

Die ligging is lekker versteek, ideaal vir besigheidsoornag, maar WiFi coverage is swak. Prys is sakpas en ek sal enige tyd weer daar wil oornag. Naby shopping mall, en die kamer is baie netjies skoon. Veiligheid is verseker.

Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

WiFi was baie stadig en nie altyd beskikbaar nie. Parkeerplek is net geskik vir 'n klein motortjie. Daar is nie voldoende diefwering voor die vensters en geen veiligheidshek voor die deur nie. Daar is nie plek om gerieflik in die woonstel te sit en eet nie. Daar is net twee hangers agter die deur. Dit is onvoldoende vir jou klere.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

I would not recommend it.

WiFi was very slow and not always available. Parking space is only suitable for a small car. There is no adequate anti-theft protection in front of the windows and no security gate in front of the door. There is no place to comfortably sit and eat in the apartment. There are only two hangers behind the door. It is insufficient for your clothes.

Pokey converted maid's room against vibracrete wall.

Worst accommodation experience on a 20-day road trip. Arrived on a day when the temperature was over 35 degrees. Room boiling, ceiling fan ineffective. No security door on unit, so it felt unsafe to sleep with the door open. Thick duvet, no top sheet. Two hangers behind the door constituted the hanging space. Generally cramped - had to stow coolbox, etc. on the table outside. No water (already for three days), two small buckets provided for toilet and washing, and a jug in the fridge for drinking - insufficient. Notified too late to make alternative accommodation arrangements. Hosts not on premises (self-check-in through a secure box at the gate). Gate to pool locked. Host agreed to 50% reduction because of water problem. Overpriced for what it offers - pretty decor cannot compensate for inconvenience. Not for a long stay, not for a hot day, not for a rainy day.

Sweeter Than Sultana 's response

Hi Marlene

I am very sorry you had such a difficult experience. A burst pipe left our entire neighbourhood without water for 3 days over New Year's and the public holidays which unfortunately fell over your booking as well. After offering you the option to cancel for a full refund as it was out of my control, I did hope that the 50% refund was in good stead.

The pool facility is not part of the accommodation offered hence the locked gate. I apologize for the extremely hot day you experienced and the inconvenience of no water during that time. I believe it was collectively an out-of-the-ordinary situation as our guests are usually very happy with the flat.

May you have a wonderful new year, Marlene.

We had a family gathering and needed a place to sleep, close by. We really had a very enjoyable stay at Sweeter Than Sultana. All we needed was there - mirror in the right location. which I find very important,, enough plugs, nice shower with good pressure. The detail to attention cannot be missed. We will definitely be back should we need a place to stay close to our children. Bridget was a very friendly and an informative host.
