Although location wise this is close to the main attractions of Cape Town, this is not a great area of the CBD. It is also extremely noisy outside the hotel at night so don't expect a solid sleep. The hotel itself is somewhat rundown and the rooms are not in the best condition.

We had booked 6 nights stay at this hotel, we lasted 1 night. If that doesn't say it all then let me continue. Many amenities were not included and if COCKROACHES were on the list when I booked then I must have missed it. FIRST thing we see upon entering our room were four cockroaches in the bathroom.

Day 3 of our 7 night stay, the towels and shower gel has not been replenished what could happen next? Yes, you guessed it : No hot water on the morning of the 4th day. This hotel is for sure one to be avoided, We had to change rooms no less than 3 times. First we were handed a room... More

To be honest, it was great, very central, clean, great breakfast, helpful front desk. The only thing that was not great was that it was quite noisy. I could here other... More

Of all the places we stayed, during the 5 1/2 weeks we were in South Africa, this was without any doubt the worst! (The bright side is: everything else looked terrific afterwards). Of the 3 weeks we tented on our group tour the tents were a far better choice than this small, smelly, unpleasant place. Not one of us would... More
