For my stay in Ezulwini Valley, Swaziland, I went with Happy Valley Hotel, which was nothing but great, but made me realise I missed being at a guesthouse, like I had been until now on the trip. Not that the hotel didn’t have everything I needed, and more, just that the size makes it a lot less personal than a small guesthouse. Also turned out this hotel was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be when I booked it. And it is getting even bigger, with a new building being attached. As said, this place offered a lot – casino, two bars, restaurant, souvenir shop, and a big room with a pool/garden view. All in addition to a great location – across from Gables Shopping Centre, which has grocery stores, restaurants, movie theatre, cafes etc – and last, but not, least a very helpful staff! Before coming I got help with booking a taxi to take me around to the places I wanted to visit. And when leaving a guy helped me with my very heavy suitcase up the hill to the bus pick-up point. Couldn’t be happier with that hand 🙂 Two improvements needed though. Wifi is bad, felt non-existent, and the dinner I had wasn’t all that – the prawns were way overcooked. Quick fix, head over to Mug & Bean for free wifi and great food.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. The pool looks really nice. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard
Nice pool area. Just didn’t the get chance to enjoy it. Too cold 🙂
Looks like a great place to stay. I’m so happy that you didn’t include photos of the food this time 😉 , because I haven’t had breakfast yet

It was, and such a surprise to me, who normally don’t stay at “fancy” hotels like this. I thought I had included a photo of my dinner, which wasn’t any good, they killed the prawns, so that might not have had an effect 😀
