Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Quite basic accommodation, but I thought it was fun, and enjoyed looking out over the sea from my bed. Worth paying for the upper class cabin with en suite. A good place to stay if you need a bed in Mossel Bay.
Really enjoyed my stay on The Santos Express train Royal coach. Very unique experience . Right next to the beach . Great outdoor space . Falling asleep to the sound of the sea and waking up to amazing view of the sea
We loved staying at the Santos Express. The staff were all very friendly and everything was clean. During the Ironman Weekend the restaurant might look at offering a different pasta menu for the athletes staying at the train.
