I loved how friendly the staff was and they were very accommodating and smiling. My stay wasn't so bad, Id still book there again.
I could hear the people above me having sex. Their bed kept making sounds whole night and some of the ladies that were there were so loud in the evening and early morning on the corridor. The toilet is too cramped, some space would do and also the fact that there's no windows in the bathroom is not nice. I have sinus so the carpet also affected me in the room. When you go up the stairs to your room the carpet has a terrible smell, including the carpet in the corridors as well. It smells like the carpet was wet or something and didn't dry properly. Maybe make the shower base a bit high, when you take a shower the water leaks and messes the floor and there's no mop to wipe the floor.

The staff is friendly, and the place is clean and regularly cleaned. Even the cleaning stuff is so friendly and polite, and there were no strange smells. It was really a beautiful experience, and Sun1 remains one of my go to places in real.
The air conditioner was not working due to maintenance, and it unfortunately was during hot days. But, we were made aware of this upon arrival. Beside this, all was good.

It was clean and the lady who was cleaning was very friendly and helpful.
The security guy who came to fetch the Iron in my room was rude. And the Iron it self had something black underneath. At night other visitors were making a lot of noise

Very convenient. Efficient and very friendly staff. Uber and private taxis (any price) are readily available. The room was clean, with a comfortable bed. Elderly persons are considered wrt providing a ground floor room.
The appliances in the dining/breakfast area are often not working properly.. The room we stayed in did not have fresh air ventilation unless you opened a screenless window - didn't feel safe leaving it open during the night.

I didn't have a hotel breakfast because I had my personal breakfast. The location is alright. I like the fact that it is opposite the intercity bus terminal.
The shower head. The shower head kept falling from it's cradle and bumped me twice or so. It was an unpleasant experience. Please look at the possibility of installing a secure shower head or system.

The staff was so welcoming and friendly. There is a humble, eversmiling and professional lady by the name of Slindile. This lady made us want to extend our stay. We were impressed and hope to stay at the hotel next time. The security staff made us feel safe and at home.Thank you so.much Sun1 team. Keep up the good work
The aircon wasn't working in the terrible heat making it impossible to sleep at night

I would first like to thank the lady who was cleaning daily, she did her job well. 2. The person who helped us check in,we arrived earlier than their check-in time,and they allowed us to check in before 2pm. We are greatful for that. I also loved the fact that it is near the bus Station,so when we got out of the bus,we went straight to the hotel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
The NOISE from other guests was appalling!!! And the mat in the room smelt a bit,so we had to open the window everytime even during rainy days. Also please put toilet brush in the toilet.
