Day1 -Check in Maduzi Hotel (Review)

My colleague strongly recommended me to stay in Maduzi, saying that it was so good and so good. But I was very disappointed. I will elaborate below.

First, the location was a little off from the main activity, subways and skytrains, compared to the prime location of SILQ. To make things worse, my hubby sprained his foot on the 2nd day and oh, it was so stressful and tiring for him to walk to the nearest foodcourt or restaurant. In the end, I became the delivery woman...

Yes, the room was big, no doubt and the check-in could be anytime in the day but as our departure flight was before 12pm, there was no need for extension. We arrived around 12pm and most hotels could check in early. Even if they don't, it is only 2-3hr. No big deal. I also do not need a big room - I just need a comfortable bed to rest my body.

The minibar was free but the drinks and chips in it are so easily available in the many minimarts outside. So, these plus points did not meet my needs. And yes, there is a walk-in wardrobe but I'm only staying 3 nights - I do not need that. The jacuzzi was probably the only real plus but again, I can do without that. The room rate was around $120/night without breakfast. The hotel matched the rate to the lowest in the market. I would rather pay a little bit more, have breakfast thrown in than having the minibar which is really non-essential.

I literally hated the rain shower. Hubby said it was ok for him but not for me. Maybe because I was short, so I do not seem to get the shower. There was no hand held so I could not shower properly and I do not feel clean after each shower. This is the first time I had this problem when I travel.

In summary, I will not stay in this recommended hotel again. The price just did not match my needs and expectations. I will go back and stay in SILQ since its rate is less than $100 with breakfast and it meets most of my needs.
