    Parking was a challenge. The view from my room was looking out on some awful courtyard block, except it wasn’t a courtyard, don’t know exactly what that was.

    The outlook from the dining area to the fountains in Adderley street. Friendly staff.

    Stay was fair but I expected more for the price.
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Superior room 621 felt 'standard', bathroom sink drained slowly, needs TLC (carpets, tiles, walls). A lot of evening noise from the CBD (traffic / people). Dinner service could improve - disappointed with an 'overdone' steak after I asked for medium-rare. Winter Sizzler promotion of R650 pp does not have a single-supplement rate (wanted to charge me R1300). Breakfast is expensive at between R195 - R280 per person, I opted for an alternative in town. I didn't get the requested wake-up call at 06h40, luckily, I set my alarm.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Mr D with safe & secure luggage storage. Checkout of 11am (although I had to leave earlier). Proximity of where I needed to be for a meeting.

    The towels were a bit ragged and old. The fixtures in the bathrooms needed updating but we were informed that they are busy with this already. The breakfast that we had at the restaurant the next morning was quite expensive so will maybe book that together with our stay next time.

    The apartment was well laid out and comfortable for us as a family. The location of the hotel was perfect for the areas and places we wanted to see. All were in walking distance. Parking was safe.

    the kitchen ran out of chips so we couldn't order food. Also didn't like that i had to go outside for breakfast because they only do buffet. Ordering in was our only option

    Loved the staff, very friendly. and the bar !!!

    Bathroom in my room not cleaned properly - hair in the basin, mold in the grooves of the tiles. Seems that they understaffed - pile of dirty linen in the passage still not cleared by next morning. Could be our big conference overstretched their resources.

    conference venue was well prepared. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful location of hotel is central

    it is a generally affordable hotel as I am travelling to Cape Town regularly.

    When I booked through booking.com I requested breakfast to be inclusive. In one of the boxes in describing the venue, it indicated that breakfast was included. However, it was not included in the price and the hotel wanted an additional R280 for breakfast which I was not prepared to pay. This reflects badly on yourselves because this means I now have difficulty in trusting what you offer!! I have stayed in this hotel previously and it is quite acceptable. I noted that the basin in the bathroom was cracked and had some permanent marks of damage.

    Staff was friendly. Only gripe is that the impression that I gained during the booking process was that breakfast would be included which it was not!! I have stayed at this hotel a few times and find it acceptable. especially with a restaurant offering decent meals.
