Purified water in each ropm
The only comment I can make is that apparently the water in the rooms is not fit for consumption.
Why supply bottled water? This is a costly exercise.
If the hotel was to put an RO filtration kit in each room with a filter change every 24 months, there would be no problems. These kits would pay for themselves over and over again.
Worth a thought???

Friendly trainee staff...small rooms
Surrounds on the river side of hotel are pleasant.
Unfortunately we were told when there was no hot water that it would only be fixed the following day, with no management on site.
The standard room has a double bed size only with no extra length.
Staff are predominantly trainees at hotel but are friendly.
Very small pool area with partial sun during the day.
All not what one expects from a 4 or so star hotel spending good money.

Amazing river views and bargain prices
The hotel still looks new after a few years of being around; rooms have a modern styling and the typical amenities; all the staff were very helpful; the hotel has one of the best river views I have seen, so I always had breakfast outside on the river bank; breakfast was excellent - it was not lavish but each item was done well; the price I paid for the room made this a bargain; Wifi worked fine - I wasn't expecting to stream video in Port Alfred anyway so when that did not always work, i was not bothered; have been here before and will stay here again!

complement
The staff were friendly and very welcoming, when we wanted to be assisted with anything they were always willing to assist. But their menu was not easy to understand and we felt like it was limited or not user friendly
