Peaceful night on a good bed and bedding in the city center and feeling safe.

Wellington is the heartbeat of Rio. He makes your stay pleasant and helps with everything and on his post. No smoking is ignored by guests which is an unpleasant experience. The room is very basic. And think the stay for what it offers was not justified. Better kitchen facilities can be used or each room has its own kettle and cutlery which can help.

We needed a place to sleep close to the Castle.

The bed was clean, comfortable, no parking, very busy street. This is cbd. No windows in room. Shared toilets with no door on bathrooms. Obscure characters left in other rooms. Not feeling safe for my teenagers. Rather a motel room than a lodge. Owner was helpful and friendly, speaks no Afrikaans. It is in central Cape Town, close to Kasteel. Streets feel safe.

The accommodation was exactly what was needed for the trip to Cape Town.

The guesthouse was conveniently situated and I enjoyed the stay.

Ek sal definitief weer daar bly vir die goeie kliëntediens wat ook gebied word.

Die verblyf daar was baie gemaklik en die kliëntediens deur was heeltemal uitstekend.

I will definitely stay there again for the good customer service that is also offered.

The stay there was very comfortable and the customer service through was absolutely excellent.

Very bad.

Accommodation was very bad, there were no windows with no air-conditioning. I had to look for another place to stay.

Kon nie veel rus nie.

Geraas vanaf die straat en baie dun gordyne voor die venster. Sigaretrook in die kamer van persone wat op die balkon rook. Veral in die aand.

Couldn't rest much.

Noise from the street and very thin curtains in front of the window. Cigarette smoke in the room of persons who smoke on the balcony. Especially in the evening.

Gerieflike plekkie.

Oulike plekkie. Het net 1 aand oornag maar dit was gerieflik. Wellington was baie behulpsaam en inboek het seepglad verloop. Hy was bereid gewees om ons vroeër te akkommodeer as die inboektyd. Sal net voorstel dat daar miskien verwarmer in kamer gesit word. Die Kaapse winter is geniepsig.

Comfortable place.

Cute little place. Only stayed 1 night but it was comfortable. Wellington was very helpful and check-in went smoothly. He was willing to accommodate us earlier than the check-in time. Would only suggest that maybe a heater is put in room. The Cape winter is mild.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Geen koffie of tee beskikbaar nie. Nie 'n veilige area vir enkelreisigers nie. Waterdruk van die stort was pateties. TV het nie gewerk nie.

Not what I expected.

No coffee or tea available. Not a safe area for single travelers. Water pressure from the shower was pathetic. TV didn't work.

Lovely. Wellington (receptionist) is the most welcoming figure around and always willing to help.

Close to almost anything you could want. Paired with friendly services, it's well worth spending a night here.

Not nice.

Room offered did not have any window, television out of order due to renovation. Maybe suitable for a quick overnight stay if you arrive late in the Cape and just looking for a bed to sleep on.

It was great.

We had a nice stay, but paying for accidentally bleeding through on the sheets is not right.
