An enjoyable and comfortable stay at an affordable price
Pros:

My room was beautiful and spacious (room no. 5). I loved the high ceilings and that heritage/antique vibe. The shower is huge. :) The lovely ladies on the staff (Nabs and Mumtas and another lady who's name I did not get) were very friendly and helpful. It is centrally located which cut down travel time to various areas of Cape Town. It was nice and quiet at night (my room was upstairs).

Cons:

There was no bar fridge in the room.

Pros:

The hotel has heritage outlook, located in a good sport and accessible. beautiful old architecture.
The owners have over priced the hotel.

Cons:

It is one star, it is over priced by 40% above its peers, curtains are old, there's only one staff the whole night - its women. they get tied. So they sneak upstairs to catch a rest. Sometimes they don't hear the bell at the door - guests are compelled to bang the door and wake up other guest up at 01h00 in the morning. Had the same experience through. the rooms are beautiful BUT you get tormented by large mosquitos

Pros:

Niente

Cons:

Esperienza assolutamente inaccettabile.

Al nostro arrivo ci è stata assegnata una prima camera che si presentava sporca, con numerose zanzare all’interno e lenzuola evidentemente non pulite. Abbiamo immediatamente segnalato la situazione alla reception, ritenendola non conforme a standard minimi di igiene.

Siamo stati quindi spostati in una seconda camera, che purtroppo si è rivelata in condizioni ancora peggiori. Il bagno era visibilmente sporco, con il WC che presentava evidenti residui e segni di mancata pulizia. Anche qui la presenza di zanzare era significativa.

Il letto non era stato rifatto con biancheria pulita: lenzuola e federe apparivano usate, con una macchia di sangue visibile sulle lenzuola. Le tende erano vecchie e sporche, l’ambiente emanava un cattivo odore e in generale la stanza risultava trascurata, datata e in condizioni igieniche terribili.

Inoltre, i giorni successivi abbiamo notato segni sulla nostra pelle di punture di insetti, probabilmente bed bugs.

Una situazione del genere è inaccettabile per qualsiasi struttura ricettiva. Esperienza estremamente negativa.
