Uncomfortable, sad, disappointed.

On arrival we were early, understandable that our room was not ready. Reception was kind enough to allow us to sit by the pool area and wait. We were placed in an outside room. The room was not what I expected. It was not comfortable and warm. There were cracks in the ceiling, pipes, and the basin, which was slightly off-putting. The drains had a terrible odour, etc. On Saturday, we went to breakfast, but there was no one to be seen, so we had no breakfast. When leaving, an employee opened the gate for us. I explained to him that we had not received breakfast and there was no one to assist. His reply was okay. I thanked him and said goodbye. He seemed unsure how to reply.

Dit is vir besige mense.

Ek sê so want dit voel nie baie homey nie. Die bed was kliphard en die spieël is nie by 'n plug nie. Ek moes die goed rondskuif om my hare te doen en daar was nie nuwe koffie en suiker uit gesit vir ons nie. Dit was baie onpersoonlik.

It's for busy people.

I say so because it doesn't feel very homey. The bed was rock hard and the mirror is not plugged in. I had to move things around to do my hair and there was no new coffee and sugar put out for us. It was very impersonal.

Poor service.

The service was terrible in terms of checking in as there was no one at the front desk. We waited for about 20 minutes just to get to the premises. The bookings were mixed up and there was no one to take the responsibility of a mess. The place and the location was just perfect, they need to look at their service and the staff attitude.

Value for money!

We were impressed with the rooms, was more than we expected. We were able to come and go as we please, and we were very happy with the service, and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend Blue Sparrow - they offer above and beyond what is required for an overnight stay.

Gerieflike, goed toegeruste verblyf in stil omgewing.

Blue Sparrow bied goeie verblyf in die rustige parkagtige woonbuurt van Groenkol. Die kamer is baie mooi en goed toegerus met mikrogolfoond, kroegyskas en lugversorger. Ek het gratis WiFi verwag, maar dit was nie aangebied nie. Ek het die swembad en lapa area geniet, want dit was baie warm. Aandete is op versoek beskikbaar, maar ek het gedink dis nie goeie waarde vir geld nie. Blue Sparrow is binne 5 km van winkelsentra en restaurante.

Comfortable, well-equipped accommodation in quiet surroundings.

Blue Sparrow offers good accommodation in the peaceful park-like neighborhood of Groenkol. The room is very nice and well equipped with microwave oven, bar fridge and air conditioner. I expected free WiFi, but it was not offered. I enjoyed the pool and lapa area as it was very warm. Dinner is available on request but I thought it was not good value for money. Blue Sparrow is within 5 km of shopping centers and restaurants.

What they advertise and what they does not match. The toilet door is broken. Just a big board. They advertise breakfast, but there was no breakfast. No Wi-Fi. I will not book again or recommend.
