Pros:

Le personnel est très sympathique. La personne a l’accueil a été de bons conseils et très arrangeant pour nos valises. La chambre était propre super bien placé en plein ventre de Cape Town. Le rapport qualité prix est vraiment super, nous sommes des étudiants en voyage alors c’était parfait.
