? Breakfast included
Our stay was great. The only problem was that I booked for 4 people. 2 Adults and 2 Children and on the confirmation letter it said breakfast included. However when we went for breakfast (we were 2 adults and 1 child) there was only 2 on the breakfast list and i had to pay for 1 extra. The breakfast was delicious.

Dear Charlotte,Thank you for staying with us. I am very sorry to hear that there was a misunderstanding with the number of guests booked. I did training with the front desk staff so that they will understand how to read the booking in the future. Please let me know when you will be travelling to Pretoria again so that we can offer you a complimentary breakfast.I really hope that you will visit us again in the near future.Kind regardsBernice

At Hotel 224 we strive to ensure our Guests expectations are met and exceeded as far as we can and when we disappoint our Guests, we take the situation very seriously. I am so sorry that we have disappointed you. We understand the frustration, noise when you want to rest, sleep and enjoy your hotel stay is the absolute worse. The situation should have been dealt with our night staff. I have addressed the matter with them to ensure we deal with noise matters promptly and efficiently to ensure our guests are not inconvenienced. Kindly note that our front desk is available 24/7 to assist with any queries you may have such as extra bath towels. Please let us know which condiment sachets you would like to have available during meal times so that we can discuss your request to have the condiments available during our next management meeting.

Please accept my sincere apology for the situation and for the fact that we did not deal with the situation in a better way. We do really hope that we will see you soon again. Kind regards Bernice

A pleasant Stay that offers great value
Hotel 224 is a good value accommodation option that is a pleasant experience nothing more - if this part of the city is where you need to be then you cannot beat what this Hotel provides for what it costs. rooms are small but comfortable and have all that you would require. The Bathroom is tight and the door will not stay open unless you put something there, so you feel a little claustrophobic when you inside. the complimentary Shuttle is a great feature.
