Mount Sheba Reviewed by E.J.A. Roeleven on 13 May 2008
The food was good, but the air in the establishment was not good because of all the fire places. I had problems with my lungs. The shower was not clean. There were not enough lamps in the rooms. Too dark to see well.

Mount Sheba Reviewed by Ashleigh Hammond on 5 May 2008
Extremely overpriced. Food average; decor desperately needs an overhaul - not what I expected at the price per room per night.
