Another of life's reminders: you get exactly what you pay for. We moved to this hotel because we needed to save some money. And it was immediately clear where the price discrepancy was. For a difference of 100,000R, almost 8 euros, we sacrificed a private bathroom, cleanliness and privacy. Our room was on the top floor, facing the courtyard, which is a good place for travellers to meet – but makes for a bit of noise in the evening. The room itself had very firm beds, with mattresses like large hessian sacks stuffed with straw. We asked for the beds to be changed because there were some dubious hairs lurking on the sheets. All credit to the management: this was done promptly; in fact, management were consistently friendly and helpful. They do make this a good place to stay for travellers. No towels provided. A basic breakfast (bread, cream cheese, carrot jam, cup of tea) was included in the price.
Bathroom: Shared, mostly clean but particularly smelly (esp upstairs)
View: Courtyard

Cost: 185,000R
Recommended? Mmmm, good for the budget, not so for beauty sleep.
