Not bad. It was very safe and the service was good, but the cleanliness was not as good as I like. The carpets were extremely dirty as well as the couches in the room, and I'm not sure what caused an allergic reaction as soon as I got into bed.

Dear Nqobile, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear that you felt safe during your stay and appreciated our service. We’re truly sorry, however, that the cleanliness did not meet your expectations. Since your visit, we have replaced our natural jute rugs, which were difficult to maintain, with environmentally friendly rugs made from recyclable polypropylene that are much easier to keep clean. We’ve also addressed the issue of the stained couch with our housekeeping team, and it has been thoroughly cleaned. Regarding the allergic reaction, this is the first time we’ve received such feedback. We use standard household detergents for our linen and have not experienced similar reports, but we take your concern seriously and will continue to monitor this closely. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Management Musgrave Avenue Guest Lodge

Not great. I would not recommend this facility. We ended up staying in the "Villa" to accommodate an additional person. The (helpful) staff at the Guest House were unaware of our arrival and ran to clean the place while we waited in our car. Clearly, there was no communication between the owner and staff. Maintenance is really poor all round. Exposed wiring on plugs and distribution board. Sharp knives but no knife sharpener, desk lamp not functional, poor WiFi connectivity. Lounge carpet really dirty. Etc. A man arrived to put on security lights on our first day. We found him in the lounge, having unlocked the gate and walked in - not a good feeling about security. Many stairs in the Villa and also in the main facility. Definitely not disability-friendly.

Dear Verity, Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. We’ve addressed the housekeeping concerns with our team, and cleanliness has since improved; it’s something Musgrave Avenue Guest Lodge is known for. The maintenance issues you mentioned have been reviewed and resolved. The contractor who entered the Villa was scheduled to install additional security lighting, but we apologise for the lack of communication that caused concern. We truly appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure a more comfortable and seamless stay for all our guests. Warm regards, Management Musgrave Avenue Guest Lodge

No Wi-Fi connectivity. Wi-Fi connectivity is vital these days for people to stay connected and hence our reason of choosing this place over all other accommodation facilities in that area. The positive part is the good location that is accessible to a local mall and closer to city centre. We felt very safe there.

I do understand your frustration. WIFI is very important. We had a problem with Telkom during your stay. Their WIFI is not reliable. We have reported this many times but the inefficiencies are just unimaginable. We have decided to change the service provider. I hope next time when you visit, you will enjoy the stay.

Neat and clean, but parking is a problem. Neat room with clean linen and bathroom. Thank you. The negative is that the room door had a problem with lock and could not lock. It was raining and parking was some distance away in another lot.

Netjies en skoon, maar parkering is 'n probleem. Netjiese kamer met skoon linne en badkamer. Dankie. Die negatiewe is dat die kamerdeur 'n probleem met slot gehad en kon nie sluit nie. Dit het gereën en parkering was 'n ent weg in ander erf.

Under new management yes, otherwise no! Terrible client service we got. There was no caretaker in the house, we found a young lady cleaner who was very helpful and tried her best to make us comfortable. Breakfast served alternatively but to be a exact, it was only prepared on the 26th, even then we were not even aware it was for us, because it was not even highlighted that we could help ourselves, but we so we didn't have any breakfast. DStv was not working, even after I fixed it, the signal was poor, the young cleaning lady tried to help but was clueless, she had to call property owner Thobile who then tried to even instruct her over the phone what to do, and touch, and shame she was clueless. One night we were sleeping, the assistant caretaker tried to unlock the door with a spare key, and then luckily we had a key left in, and he couldn't open. I think he was welcoming other guests, but why wasn't he aware there were other guests in the room he tried forcing the key in? He clearly was clueless about who was around the property.

Dear Khutso, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the DStv issue was beyond our control and it was unexpected, it required a technician to come through. Our DStv connection has now been reconfigured and it is working smoothly. When you made your booking you did not include breakfast and also on arrival you did not indicate that you wanted to add breakfast to your booking, therefore breakfast was not prepared for you as you had assumed it would. As a result, the breakfast that you assumed was set up for you was arranged for another guest who had booked it. On the same dates that you stayed at Musgrave Avenue, we were also hosting a big family who had booked most of our rooms, unfortunately when there is a big family with small children and staying in different rooms mistakes of knocking on wrong doors are highly possible, but nobody could have been able to unlock your door. Thank you once again, your feedback is highly appreciated and valued.
