7.5Verified guest“I only stayed one night but really enjoyed it. The location was central and close to a bus stop.”
7.5Verified guest“The place was nicely decorated and felt top-class, with a private bathroom. I loved the mountain view. The location was perfect, right in the centre of town, close to restaurants, social spots, Kloof Street, and the V&A Waterfront.”
7.5Verified guest“I couldn't believe the noise – neighbours were partying constantly and the corridor smelled of weed. Staff were slow to respond to complaints, and the security guards were unfriendly. A disappointing experience.”
7.5Verified guest“Clean hotel with lovely staff, in a marvellous location close to everything the city offers. Rooms could use better soundproofing. There was a good breakfast selection, and the hotel is near the city centre, restaurants, and the Engen head office.”
7.5Verified guest“The location was absolutely perfect – right next to a bus stop, the city centre, and the Foreshore.”
