Accommodation options Guest House v/s Hotels

As part of an accommodation facility in East London since 1997 , the conversation often arises in our dining area around the bar on the topic of " Guest House v/s Hotel ?" Obviously many of our patrons at Riversway Our Guest House  choose Guest House for many reasons. The argument often heard is East London Hotels are expensive , impersonal , crowded , noisy , and even a few horror stories relating to cleanliness come out of these discussions. ( probably embellished somewhat to have the desired effect) However there are those that prefer the Hotel experience , and the high occupancy at Hotels clearly proves that.
There is obviously a personal taste issue here as well as a budget consideration when making the decision to stay in a Guest House like Riversway Our Guest House  or in a hotel.

A typical evening at Riversway can be very entertaining , and almost feels like a family environment when regulars meet at dinner for a drink and a great meal prepared by our food lover Dean. I imagine this type of closeness and bonding could be difficult to achieve in a hotel environment , with bigger detached staff , larger groups of patrons and a larger facility with more recreational space options.

For the traveler wanting to eat drink and retire , perhaps a hotel will be a choice. Or often corporate deals dictate the terms of travel and those who do not get to choose have to stay in a hotel.

This discussion often has those for and opposed to their favourite accommodation option , but one thing is clear from our experiences at at Riversway , our guests enjoy their stay. Many have been with us since 1997 and even choose not to visit East London if we cannot accommodate them. So I guess we can thank hotels for marketing to a certain segment of the market and that there are those faithful patrons who will always choose Our Guest House  as their accommodation of choice. See you in East London.
