Horrible stay at serena hotel
Horrible place ever do not even think of staying there, it was so noisy and they do not clean unless u tell them to clean. There was a load shedding on the 30th instead of giving us candles they went to chill outside did not even apologise, there were constantly people peeping through the door at night and knocki ng and when u answer they run away. It was the horrible hotel i will never stay there even if it was 100 bucks for 3 nights.
