This is the one of the few places I have been to with a tour group where you had to pay for wifi. I heard it was awful.
There are no plugs near the bed (so if you have a CPAP machine you better have a long hose) and the A/C is far from the beds. In fact, there are few plugs at all. Not enough light to read by.
Our room was facing the street and it was quite noisy.
There is a decent fitness center but it is hard to find and get to.
The staff is friendly and the on site restaurant is good.
Overall, did not meet expectations.
Pro’s: secure parking. Good welcome at reception. Neat rooms and spacious. Very nice bed and linen. Friendly and helpful working staff. Stylish ans shiek. Nice aircon in room. Good gym experience. Nice swimmingpool (small though). The 2 entertainers at the restaurant (piano and bass) was a fantastic experience.
Cons: we heard that when we arrived at the underground parking that you an extra R100 per night for parking (OUTRAGIOUS). the tissue holder in the bathroom fell off a couple of times, ehich was irritating. Only 1 movie channel (rest is news and sabc). Our room had a Bathroom with shower in bath, which is average and dissapointing for me. Food at restaurant overpriced for what you get, bit they have friendly staff and entertainment.
These were our lowlights of the property.
1) R100 parking only for the hotel to park you in with other cars so you cant leave. They made us leave our keys but never had keys for the car parking us in.
2) Aircon was so noisy that it constantly woke us.
3) The pool lift was a very scary experience.
4) Fire Alarm kept going off in the hotel. (4 times in 24hr) Then the roof sprinkler system went off and they covered the floor with a white sheet.
5) Constant power on and off for a few minutes at a time or 5 or 6 occasions (Over and above the load shedding - 6 hrs in 24 hrs)
6) Very dated room.
7) A mini-bar selection of non premium products at ridiculously high prices.
Do not recommend.
No free parking.
Cannot utilise pool area after 9pm because it’s located on residential floor.
R180 p/p for breakfast is a ripoff for stale bread, no scrambled eggs, dried overcooked sausage, no mushrooms,just not what you would call a buffet.
Stay away. There are better option in the CBD
Don't dare be a smoker and check in here, the smoking section is a tiny corner in the driveway, loud and dangerous.
Generally the staff are rude and obnoxious. So far only the porter, Victor has any sense what customer care or service is.
The meals, well for that one make sure you have a strong stomach or don't come hungry....
I would strongly advise that you also bring your own tea or coffee.


The room was large and cozy. Spacious bathroom with good shower.
Internet worked well at all points.
Excellent location, 3 blocks from Long Street, Green Market. And 10, 12 reais by Uber from V A Waterfornt.
Easy movement everywhere.
The breakfast is very tasty and welcoming. With essential items for a good coffee.
And here I highlight Sanelisevive. What a spectacular employee! He welcomed us very well every day. He prepared our coffee with great care. This is one of those who love what they do, who feel good doing it. A good glow to see! Congratulations!
I also highlight Nomsa, who checked us in. Wonderful! Super patient and caring throughout the stay, always helping us and welcoming
Negative points:
When booking I had purchased and re-booked a 2 bed room. This was confirmed by the team in the reservation response, but when I arrived I was in a room with a double bed. We changed rooms twice, and both in the same way. We preferred to return to the 1st, and we were told that it would be adjusted the following day, but it was not.
2nd Point: I found the hotel to be somewhat flexible regarding late checkout. This is at 11 and this is how it had to be done. When I questioned the receptionist at checkout, she gave me a firm answer that if I stayed beyond 11, I would have to pay R400. And above 4 hours, the daily rate is complete. I thought she could have been more friendly in her response.

The rooms were cleaned extremely late.
The staff turnover appeared high. The management team was very unobliging and rude.
We toured with a soccer club and whilst the noise levels were really low the staff and management failed to accommodate simple requests.
Due to Covid the pool area was limited to 5 people - rather close it down!!!!
"It seems the later I book, nearer to the date, the cheaper I pay.The restaurant can be bit pricey but the food is of high quality."Read full review
