We stayed here in September 2011. Check in was fine - really nice front-desk staff. Area was well stocked with all the touristy brochures. The 24 hour reception service was very convenient especially with our early checkout. Plenty of off-street secure parking. Room was clean upon arrival and there was aircon and heating. No qualms at all with the room.... More

I love reading people's reviews of this place. I mean, what do you expect for $110 a night? Sure, it is basic but also clean and great value for the cost conscious traveller. My room was clean and simple. It came with complimentary shampoos, etc and tea and coffee making facilities. It is great to still have low priced, acceptable... More

We picked this hotel through American Express and were disappointed. The hotel was tired, the resturant only open for a continental breakfast and the daily cleaning room service sporatic. We stayed there 8 nights and some days the cleaning was well done and others days not completed at all. The location was ok, a 15 minute walk to the train... More

Basic but adequate...small room with queen and single bed, fridge, tv, kettle. Parking at the door. Breakfast (included) was limited but sufficient for a quick start to the day....cereals, toast, yogurt, juice, fruit salad. Conveniently located on main road.

the Jika International is an ordinary motel. There are no outstanding features. Position is good, however there was a dog in the neighbourhood that barked well into the night , and hence kept me awake. Despite a call to reception, nothing was done to alleviate the noise. Bathroom had recently been renovated, however shower over bath meant one had to... More

Generally speaking is a an average quality hotel. I personally like the sauna. If you have a car is preferable otherwise you can catch a train just round the corner. Good room service and at the time loved the BB mixed mear grill. Ciao Franco

I only had the standard room, booked via Wotif at $95. It was basic but clean and all amenities were in working order. Recent refurbishments to the bathroom were fine and the bed was comfortable...as it was the standard room, the TV was an old analogue box, not a digital screen...oh, well, get what you paid for. Breakfast, continental style,... More
