The hotel is clean, well located and staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The beds were the only problem that we thought could be improved by putting in over a period of time, better quality beds.

We chose your hotel for its convenient location and easy access to everything we needed during our stay.

R35 for your breakfast is far too much money for standard bread, stale cereal and below car juice and coffee. The juice tasted of whatever cleaning material was used on the dispenser and the coffee was weak. We skipped our paid-for breakfast on the second morning (as we did not have the option of a refund) and bought a far better breakfast at the McDonalds across the road.

The mattresses were VERY thin and had we not brought our own pillows, there would not have been enough to go around. On checking in, we found only two towels in the room despite having booked a room for three persons.

Is the bathroom unit meant to have an extractor fan? If so, it wasn't in working order. The shower drain was not clean and produced a foamy grey mess from our first use.

The service was indifferent at best and the reception staff unsmiling and not at all welcoming. We were however, greeted very cheerily by your cleaning staff. Other guests in the hotel were very loud early in the morning and late at night and no staff member intervened. An alarm (fire alarm?) was set off on both nights of our stay and this too contributed to broken sleep.

This was my first experience of Formule 1 and I am unlikely to repeat it or recommend it to anyone.

Sun 1 Parow Should work on their cleaning services. No room should be left untidy and smelling bad. The blankets were smelling very bad and the entire room smelling bad. I was giving my wife a special cost effective outing. But Parow Sun 1 did not help me to do this.

When I arrived at the reception it looked dirty and poorly kept. The room I was shown and the room I was given 203 could not have looked more opposite. I had to go buy a towel as I was scared to use the room towel. The mechanism to flush the toilet was broken off and lying on the floor. As I was tired and needed to get some sleep I did not complain. I did however leave at 05h00 as I could not sleep any more because of all the noise. I must admit this was a 1st time at a Formula 1 and will be the very last and I will ensure all my staff and friends never make use of this brand again.

Service very poor, staff very rude and non-helpful. Rooms were not ready at time of checking in.Toilet did not work had to be changed to another room. Had dirty towels in the room. My reservation was not found as the booking office did not inform the hotel of the reservation. Had a very bad experience in total. Will never recommend that hotel to anyone. The service at this particular hotel has really gone down.

Our toilet seat was complete broken off. The carpet in the room was absolutely filthy with stains. Electricity sockets was off and only after complaining did they switch it on and then was switched off again the next morning .The receptionist was extremely unfriendly. WILL NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN MAKE USE OF THE FORMULA 1 PAROW. Next time Id rather pay the extra R250 a night in stay in a better class of hotel.

I will NEVER even think of using a F1 hotel again. Got to the hotel, gent on duty took me to 3 of the rooms, ALL LOOKED LIKE IT WASN'T CLEANED IN A WEEK! Beds was slept trough, bedding dirty, rate changed from R399 as per online booking to R499 at the hotel. Also couldnt pick my booking up on their system. Food was still lying on the floor of the dinning area at 5pm. I'm shocked at the level of service and quality that SUN INTERNATIONALE is offering!

It is such a shame that the establishment is under the wing of Tsogo sun because it is an utter disaster. I checked 3 rooms on the ground floor and finally tolerated one on the 1st floor. The stench on the passage and rooms, the filthy carpets, the makeshift shower toilet.. a complete disaster.

They gave away my room without contacting me even though I had paid. I was put into what they called a 'disabled' room which I am sure they never clean nor maintain. I cancelled the rest of my stay and had a much better stay at another "cheap" hotel.

I've stayed with Sun1 Milnerton before but unfortunately they were fully booked so I stayed at Parow Sun1, but the room wasn't as clean as Milnerton. Well situated, perfect for that one night out or weekend in the suburbs.
