Cape Town is a great place for relaxation, sightseeing, and entertainment.
Pros:

A good and safe place to stay. The room size was sufficient. Breakfast was good, but the selection was the same every day.

Cons:

The bathroom needs improvement. The shower was very uncomfortable and outdated. Bathroom amenities were minimal; a hair dryer (very worn out) was located in the desk drawer in the room. USB ports were difficult to access.

Gym problems
Pros:

Very close to Waterfront.

Cons:

Gym was under renovation but didn't advise when booking. they offered going to Virgin Active but was complicated and need to schedule beforehand. Finally went and then when they had to reimburse me there were all kind of problems...that had to be cash..that had to be reimbursed with card but machine didn't work. Finally reimbursed me but had to go several times.

Ten hotel wymaga kapitalnego remontu
Pros:

Lokalizacja. Przyjazny personel

Cons:

Hotel jest stary. Ktoś kto wymyślił szklane półki pod prysznicem na wysokości twarzy powinien zostać zwolniony. Uderzyłem się bardzo boleśnie w głowę. Był problem z ustawieniem ciepłej wody.
