Hotel with a soul.

Loved the old-worldly character combined with high-tech work environment and friendly staff. Made us feel at home. Not just another hotel room but a place with a soul.

Prentjiemooi en vriendelike mense.

Vriendelik verwelkom, die hotel in asemrowend! Dit lyk net soos die webblad. Dit was rustig, ons kon lekker slaap. Ontbyt was uit die boeke, ek kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie.

Picturesque and friendly people.

Friendly welcome, the hotel in breathtaking! It looks just like the web page. It was peaceful, we could sleep well. Breakfast was off the books, can't wait to go back.

Luukse wegbreek in die hartjie van Kaapstad.

Netjiese verblyf wat baie goed geleë is met goeie diens en gasvryheid. Sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel.

Quirky, fun, but too impractical for a stay longer than a night or two.

Hubby and I enjoyed the hotel's quirkiness and it was funky and fun. Sadly, the actual hotel room is not practical, especially for a stay longer than two nights. The room itself was spacious, no problem there. However, the bathroom is just too impractical and has a far too open view for our liking. A little bit of frosting would go a long way. The bathroom was very cramped and the layout was not great, with nowhere to really place towels. The shower was more than adequate in size, however, the floor was exceptionally slippery and there was quite a step-down out of the shower, so both of us almost fell a few times. And yes, the first room we were in came with a complimentary cockroach. Not to mention 1 towel, no shampoo, and no milk. Thankfully, the staff are lovely and swapped rooms and sorted that out quickly. However, we had no milk again on the very next day. The noise from outside the hotel is just a complete racket, and this is at 6am on a weekend morning. This is not the hotel for you if you want a peaceful and restful stay. Again, the hotel itself is really fun and quite lovely, and in a great position, just the bathrooms are a letdown and the noise from outside is unbearable. Thank you to the staff who were so accommodating and lovely, they really saved the day by changing our room quickly.

Skokkend!

Kamer met swart mure, vloere en dekor, klein vensters, met min lig. Louwarm stortwater in die Kaapse winter. Een japon, een koppie en een handdoek in 'n kamer bespreek vir twee. Stukkende meubels en 'n gekraakte spieël. Die een handdoek was vol gate en so deurgewas dat dit nie meer kan afdroog nie. Ons het gaan vra vir nog handdoeke by ontvangs en is belowe hulle sal dit kamer toe bring. Dit het nooit gebeur nie. By verre die swakste akkommodasie ooit in Kaapstad, en duur - veral vir wat ons gekry het.

Shocking!

Room with black walls, floors and decor, small windows with little light. Lukewarm showers in the Cape winter. One gown, one cup and one towel in a room booked for two. Broken furniture and a cracked mirror. The one towel was full of holes and so washed through that it could no longer dry. We asked for more towels at reception and were promised they would bring them to the room. It never happened. By far the worst accommodation ever in Cape Town, and expensive - especially for what we got.

Ons het eintlik net oorgeslaap, maar het dit baie geniet.

Ons het slegs oorgeslaap vir 1 aand. Baie skoon en bereikbaar.

We actually just slept over, but really enjoyed it.

We only stayed over for 1 night. Very clean and accessible.

Sal nie weer besoek nie.

Van die goed wat in die kamer gepla het: oop badkamer, het nie op foto's as sulks voorgekom nie. Deursigtige gordyn by venster wat op straat uitkyk. Geen kragprop in bereik van ketel/koffiemasjien nie. Koffiemasjien buite werking. Geen melk beskikbaar nie. Kruipende insekte om die koffiemaakgeriewe en op lessenaar. Dit het ook onveilig gevoel by die parkeerarea.

Will not visit again.

Some of the things that bothered the room: open bathroom, did not appear as such in photos. Sheer curtain at window facing the street. No power plug in reach of kettle/coffee machine. Coffee machine out of order. No milk available. Crawling insects around the coffee making facilities and on desk. It also felt unsafe at the parking area.

Ligging is uitstekend en personeel is uitmuntend.

Ontvangspersoneel was baie vriendelik, het meer gedoen as werksomskrywing. My man is verras met kaaskoek vir sy verjaarsdag.

Location is excellent and staff are excellent.

Reception staff were very friendly, did more than job description. My husband was surprised with cheesecake for his birthday.
