On a scale of 1-10? I would rate my stay 3/10.
Pros:

I loved the fact that is was close to where I wanted to be.

Cons:

The place was dirty, Curtains were supper dirty, WiFi was not working, we had to use a different room’s WiFi which was complicated because everytime we were using the TV, it keeps on pressing itself. Chair was burnt, I took pictures.

Mop was dirty, there was no broom. I had to go borrow it at the tanents, and they only gave us one toilet paper. The bed was not comfortable at all. Wasted my money to be honest.

Has potential to be better
Pros:

The rooms setup was nice, I also liked that there was a swimming pool. Also the kitchen appliances were nice and clean.

Cons:

The fleece on two of the rooms had stains. The patio was dirty, had cigarettes remains on the floor. Hair in the bathroom floor. Only 1 toilet paper was provided for the 2 nights.

Sheets and towels
Pros:

The convince of the area. It is perfectly located and the stuff go above to ensure that you are best assisted

Cons:

The sheets were dirty.. Had to have my room changed because of a blood stain on the sheets. On the other room the sheets had stains on them as well. The towels they offer shed! If you wipe yourself with them, they leave shedding all over you, worse if you use it on your hair.

Nope, Not for me
Pros:

I liked the location

Cons:

I didn't like the towels, they left some white cotton particles on thr body.
They have so much intimidating rules that are actually unfollowed - i came to realize if you give the security something you can getaway with anything. There cigarettes, and weed smells along the hallways
The toilet lock was broken
They provided a tiny soap and nothing else

For the amount of money paid, I would have expected more quality.

The stuff was just vague, direct and not welcoming.

Hell hole!
Pros:

One of the worst places to stay in Cape Town. Poor reception, broken furniture, don't care attitude by employees and a generally dirty apartment that has seen its days.
Do not be fooled by the photos and proximity to the city. The place is just a disaster!

I hated every minute I spent in that hell hole.
