Stay at Hotel Steyne

“Eventful, comfortable, good value for money”

If there was the option of 3.5 stars, I'd give it that. It wasn't perfect, but it was ok, and given the price paid, overall I'm happy..ish (more on the "ISH" later) with my stay.

If there was the option of 3.5 stars, I'd give it that. It wasn't perfect, but it was ok, and given the price paid, overall I'm happy..ish (more on the "ISH" later) with my stay. The rooms are bit on the small side, but the bed was comfortable, and the shower room had shampoo, conditioner and body wash, along with soap and lotion at the sink. The TV in the room was a decent size, however as a smart TV, it wasn't, and couldn't, be connected to the hotel WiFi. I used my phone as a hotspot, which sort of rectified the solution, only to find that the apps on the TV were somewhat scrambled, you select Prime...you get YouTube, and inconvenience, not a major problem. I had a small window, with a view of the upstairs courtyard. The room was cleaned every day, to a decent standard, and towels were replaced every day. I never stayed over the weekend, I do imagine that rooms would be very noisy during this time, the ground floor has 4 bars, and there's also a rooftop bar. Breakfast...I can't fault any of the food I had, every dish was cooked well, presented beautifully, and we're fresh and tasty. Hotel guests have a menu, from which you take your pick, and is served plated to you at your table. Staff at the bars and reception were very friendly and helpful. My biggest issue during my stay, was on my second last morning, I was wakened by a fire alarm at 7am, and had to evacuate. Thankfully it was a false alarm, however it took another guest to inform us we could go back to our room. Later that night, at 1am, I was again woken with a fire alarm, and had to evacuate. Fire brigade came, another false alarm, a problem with the electrics we were told, and again returned to my room. Dozed back off, 2.30am, you guessed it, fire alarm, evacuate, fire brigade come for the same electrical problem causing the false alarm. Not ideal when you have a 24 hour flight then next day. During my 4 night stay, I had 2 full nights of sleep. I did inquire if due to the disruption, I would be able to check out a little later than the 10am check out time, however as the hotel was fully booked this was not possible. Overall, without the fire alarm disruption, I would recommend the hotel, keeping your expectations that it is a 3 star hotel, and great value for money.
