I would recommend against this hotel because of one major point: you really can't get a good night sleep.
All rooms faces the hotel carpark or the roads. Since there are no air conditioning in the rooms, you have to open to windows otherwise you room gets hot. There are tons of traffic in the carpark or the roads probably after 6am. Lots of tourists from tourist buses, catering trucks, trash vans... just extremely noisy and bothersome. Everyone in my tour group experienced this issue. It may be worst if you are staying in ground floor rooms.
Other cons
- Towels were thin, flimsy and smelt bad
- TV were the old style ones that were quite large
- Non existant bathroom amenities
- No air-con
- Only one elevator which was not enough
- The telephone in the room doesnt' call "Hotel Front Desk" despite it says you can do so by pressing 9
- Decor was a little worn and torn
- Nothing to do or see around the area
Pros
- Wi-fi is free
- Coffee and tea in lobby is free
- Service at front desk generally okay
- Thon Hotel Kokstad
