9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2 reviews)
"Ledumo ligger ret besværligt at finde i byen Emalahleni og vejene har meget store huller. Hvis man tager den første afkørsel fra N4 er det bedre, men det virker mere naturligt at tage den anden hvor bynavnet står og så er det svært at finde uden gps. De ville også have penge selvom hotel.com havde givet kvittering for betaling. De ville have at man brugte booking.com. Til sidst fandt de dog ud af at værelset var betalt og vi fik et bedre end det først angivne værelse. Det opfatter jeg lidt...

Top South Africa Hotel Reviews

Taj Cape Town

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent
"Really convenient hotel in the heart of Cape Town, opposite St. George's Cathedral. The front of the hotel has limited parking options, so,c one has to valet for about $15 day. Beautiful lobby. Staff were super friendly. Laundry service was reliable. Their breakfast buffet was luxurious. We stayed for their high tea - yummy and wonderful selection of teas, like ROOIBOS. We had a great view of the mountain. I miscalculated by booking, and they were kind enough to extend out stay. They have a concierge that organizes everything - like helicopter trips. Good deal. Lovely rooms."
