Pros:

Staff were very friendly, location is very good (I would prefer this to V&A) and breakfast was good as well. Sea front is a stones throw and lots of restaurants and bars one street away - not very well advertised ! Not sure there is a need to go to V&A for food !

Cons:

Room was small with not enough space to walk between Bed and furniture. Room was not best value for money. Balcony was small too and name sake

Отель выглядит сильно дешевле, чем стоит за ночь
Pros:

Отличная локация, удобная кровать, маленький но хороший тренажерный зал

Cons:

В номере на было мыла для душа, просто пустой диспенсер. В душе не было шланга и гигиенического душа. Ванна не удобная, внизу в холле очень сильно пахнет ароматом, концентрированный запах вызывает кашель и тошноту. Фен был без адаптера с европейской розеткой, не смогла включить его((

Cons:

Beim Einchecken wurde ein völlig falscher Preis genannt - 50% über gebuchtem und ohne Frühstück. Wir hatten jedoch nicht nur die 50% auch incl. Frühstück gebucht. Erst auf unsere Beschwere wurde dies revidiert.

Gute Lage und sehr freundliches Personal, jedoch kleine Zimmer und ein ausbaufähiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeitende, gute Lage und insgesamt sehr saubere Zimmer.

Cons:

• Die Zimmer waren sehr klein und boten wenig Platz.
• Der Pool auf der Terrasse war ebenfalls klein, oft besetzt und an unserem geplanten Pooltag geschlossen. Leider wurde dies im Voraus nicht kommuniziert und es wurden keine Alternativen angeboten.
• Insgesamt empfanden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis als eher hoch für das gebotene Angebot.

Good but room for improvement
Pros:

This hotel is in a lovely position near the promenade in Sea Point and we felt very safe during our 4 night stay there. It is also spotlessly clean with comfortable beds, good showers and a great selection at breakfast time. However there is some room for improvement with regards to staff training. We had booked two x larger guest rooms for our stay and once shown to our rooms, it was immediately obvious that one was much smaller than the other. It took two phone calls and a wait of around 25 minutes before this was resolved, but it was a mistake that should not have happened in the first place. The staff in the dining room also need some additional training. Although friendly, drinks orders were often wrong and plates were very hastily whipped away when you were finishing your last mouthful. The items on the dinner menu were also rather disappointing, so we only ate there once. There is definitely room for improvement.
