Room was not cleaned properly especially the bathroom.
Cozy, Pleasant, Great Location Proximate to Airpor
Just one night but it was wonderful. Had a couples massage in the attached spa - very relaxing - and a wonderful, pleasant full breakfast in the AM. Very nice neighborhood and close to the airport. Highly recommended for a pleasant, comfortable stay.
Tiny room with terrible metal blinds. They were bent or broken. These are "self catering "unit, but are really dated. Had an excellent breakfast in the hotel part of the facility.
Nice hotel close to the airport. Has a spa & pool. Stayed only for one night.

The venue was nice, however when I made the booking it was at Aristo Manor and I was not made aware that I would be staying in their sister place next door called Town Hopper.
A very nice guest house with clean rooms and comfortable beds. Manager was very friendly and informative and although breakfast was not included in price, cost was reasonable and of superior quality. Somewhat outvof the way, close to airport but little else. Closest restaurant was guest house next door and of average quality
We booked a self-catering unit on the strength of the guest house's good reviews. While I cannot really comment on the guest house rooms, the self-catering unit was disappointing.
Everything looked and felt tired and in need of a refresh.
Upon departure we were not asked whether we were satisfied or whether everything had been o.k. - probably for a reason.
The most disappointing stay of our 2 1/2 week trip of SA.
Had an amazing stay. Oret in reception was outstanding and went out of her way to assist us in our time of need. Could not have asked for better service. We stayed in the self catering as well as the guest lodge. Thank you once again Oret.
I stayed at Aristo Manor on my first and last night of a month long tour in S Africa. Free collection from airport. Looked after impeccably. Huge warm welcome on my return. Looked after my every need. They now feel like family. Extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, fantastic breakfast. I loved it.
Located in a residential area near the airport - really convenient for overnight stays.
Friendly welcome by the staff. Good attention to customer care throughout my stay.
Very clean and comfortable rooms with spacious ensuite. Had a very good night's sleep followed by a generous breakfast with various tasty options on offer.
Nice outdoor space in the garden to spend time reading and having a quiet drink.
