Hotel construction ruined my holiday - 12000kms from Australia to find hotel demolition!
Pros:

I was booked into this hotel for 6 nights by Intrepid. From the outset, it was obvious the hotel was undergoing construction works at one end of the hotel. The noise levels were excessive, constantly reading 90+ decibels on my Apple Watch. The hydraulic hammer was working one floor up from my room between 7.30am and 5pm. I checked out and went elsewhere but I have concern for all the employees who were subjected to the noise and dust without any form of hearing protection. The hotel should have closed for the period of construction. I am not pursuing a refund.

My favourite hotel in Cape Town
Pros:

When I arrived at Cape Milner, I was greeted by kind, patient people. Attended to my bags. The rooms are clean and I liked the view. I think their lounge areas are one of the most beautiful lounge areas I have seen. Beautiful, warm, cosy atmosphere. I also loved the food and the whole staff was nice and understanding. It was a nice experince. Thank you.
