One Three Nine On Roberts, hotel in Pietermaritzburg

Located just 5.1 km from Comrades Marathon House, One Three Nine On Roberts provides accommodation in Pietermaritzburg with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

I like the setup of the Guest Lodge. It was very clean and spot on. There was a fireplace with wood but no suggestion that was made for us to make a fire. It was there to look smart only.
