My stay at La Orchard Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was good and close to supermarkets, but the service and cleanliness were major letdowns.

Rooms

I stayed in a Luxury Queen Room. The bed was comfortable, but the room itself was a bit cramped and had a squeaky bed, which made for an uncomfortable experience. Additionally, the air conditioning only worked adequately for about 20 minutes before it began to give errors.

Service

Upon arrival, I faced problems with the reception service. I waited an hour for an iron, and when it finally arrived, there was a power cut due to load shedding, forcing me to iron in the reception area. This was awkward and not what I expected.

The hotel is well-situated, close to supermarkets and easily accessible for Uber rides, which was great. However, the area doesn't feel particularly safe, and there's a noticeable noise level due to other guests.

Dining

Unfortunately, the hotel lacked a working restaurant, which was disappointing. I had to rely on Uber Eats for meals, adding to my expenses. I expected breakfast to be included in my stay, but I ended up having to pay for it separately.

Facilities

5.0

Although the hotel offered room service and housekeeping, the overall cleanliness of the kitchen and room was not up to par, and I found the absence of basic cutlery and dishware inconvenient.
