Really great value stay in prime location of Sea Point. Walking distance to beaches, cafes, restaurants. Pretty simple stay but that comes with the price point so overall can't beat it

The hotel was in an excellent location, close to restaurants, a supermarket, a pharmacy, and other conveniences. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, but it did not have a hair dryer. Every time we needed one, we had to go to the front desk to borrow one and return it afterward. The room was cleaned every day, but you had to ask for clean towels every time. Otherwise, a great place to stay if you want a clean and secure place to sleep while visiting Cape Town.

Probably had the worst room in the place with a separate bathroom so won't apply to most people. Not ideal. It's a great location and very inexpensive too but really be prepared for very basic amenities.

Quick and easy check-in and check-out. The room is not soundproof, so you hear some noise. However, if you are not a light sleeper, it should be fine.

O quarto tem um tamanho bom e a cama é boa. Porém ele tinha sido recém reformado e estava cheirando forte a tinta. O chuveiro é bom porém estava sujo de obra e é desconfortável pra tomar banho. Pois o cano é curto e vc tem que ficar colado na parede. Onde também tem o suporte do shampoo, o que faz você ter menos espaço ainda. Mas é mt bem localizado e o atendimento é bom. O barulho não me incomodou. Então não sei se é barulhento.

No geral a hospedagem foi realmente muito boa, minha única reclamação/sugestão é que precisam colocar ar condicionado urgente nos quartos, na nossa última noite passamos muito mal de calor onde o ventilador não deu conta. No geral está tudo ok

スタッフの方が親切でした。 お部屋も冷蔵庫や扇風機があり快適でした。お部屋の外には電子ケトルがあります。外は賑やかでしたが、さほど気になりませんでした。耳栓も用意してくれてあったので外の音が気になる場合は使用できます。早朝のチェックアウトでしたが、フロントにスタッフがいてくれるので安心でした。
