My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were a bit small and the noise from the street kept me up at night, they were clean and sufficient. The value for money was reasonable, considering the drawbacks. The service was warm and friendly, and the location was exceptional for exploring various tourist attractions and shopping. The dining experience was rich and tasty, offering a variety of choices at a reasonable price. The facilities were adequate for my needs.

The hotel is a great choice for students who need a place to rest, study, and access the internet. The rooms are small but suitable for the purpose, lacking amenities like an iron. The service is excellent overall, although the restaurant staff could be more friendly. The location is strategic for shopping and visiting tourist attractions, but not very comforting. The dining experience is decent for short stays, but not ideal for longer durations due to limited options. The facilities are adequate but might not meet all needs.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit small, were neat, clean, and cozy, making them suitable for students who are out most of the time and just come back to rest, bathe, and study a bit at night. The internet access provided was good. The service was friendly and went out of their way to ensure I enjoyed my holiday until the last day. The location was central, close to everything needed for my stay, including tourist attractions. The dining experience was okay, offering everything I needed, but there were some issues with breakfast inclusion. The facilities were good overall.

For a one night's stay, the Pretoria hotel is a decent option. The rooms are small, especially for an average mid-size male, and the ironing facilities being in the basement is not very convenient. However, the service is client-centric, with attentive staff members from receptionists to chefs and waitresses. The location is great in a cool area, but the additional charge for parking may be a drawback. The dining experience is good with a nice variety of food. Overall, it's a satisfactory choice with some minor inconveniences.

The hotel's rooms, though small, are suitable for students who spend most of their time out and come back to rest, with good internet access. The rooms were clean, spacious, and exceeded my expectations. The service, especially from the restaurant, reception, and room service staff, was of great help and made my holiday enjoyable. The location gives Hotel 224 a natural advantage, although it may be a bit high and not easy to plug in other media devices. The dining experience was good, though slightly overpriced for longer stays. The facilities were adequate for my needs.
