Taita Rocks Hotel

We knew when we booked that there were a lot of steps at this hotel so we were somewhat prepared. However when we arrived and saw the steps which are all different heights and with no handrail I was rather worried. We went to the reception which was halfway up and checked in. Our room was at the very top of the steps and on the top floor. The views from the verandah were lovely. The room was large but not really well appointed. There was nowhere to put your case except the floor. No bedside lights or tables. Just one overhead light with no shade. The bathroom was OK. There was a lot of hot water and cold water. Unfortunately they didn't mix so a shower wasn't possible without either being scalded or frozen. We went down to the bar to watch the football match that was on. While that was on they served a buffet dinner. There was no starter, just two choices and by the time we got to it all the salad had gone and wasn't replaced. No dessert was offered. We'd have been better having one of the "with chips" meals that the locals were enjoying but were not given this option. The bed was very comfortable so we had a decent nights sleep. We stayed for lunch the next day which was OK. The staff were all very friendly and lovely and work hard. I don't think they have many international visitors but it could be a good place with a few extra touches and definitely some HANDRAILS!!
