Pros:

El equipo es muy simpático y la ubicación es muy central

Cons:

Nuestra habitación daba atrás que no se oía tanto pero Enel edificio hay un local de fiesta que hace bastante ruido. Así que si eres sensible al ruido no es lo mejor

Great value for money in an excellent location
Pros:

Great location and very good value for money! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We also received a voucher for a delicious breakfast, which was a lovely bonus. The parking felt safe and secure, and the room was comfortable. Overall, a very pleasant stay and definitely worth the price we paid. We would happily stay here again!

Best weekend
Pros:

I love that when I enter the room smells amazing, it was super clean, the view was amazing and the fact that when you want some noise you open the door but if you want peace you just have to close the door it was very cute. Now the staff on arrival explain everything and super accommodating 10/10

Cons:

The bed felt abit hard to but I'm a big girl so maybe for me it's a different view but it wasn't unpleasant.

Heerlijk verblijf in Kaapstad
Pros:

Zeer goede prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding, vriendelijk personeel. En je ontvangt vouchers om bij 2-3 tentjes in de buurt te kunnen ontbijten dat is ook top.

Hotel comodo, con muy buena localizacion.
Pros:

El personal es muy atento y amable. Las habitaciones amplias y comodas. Para el desayuno te dan unos bonos que puedes usar en 2 restaurantes diferentes. Para nosotros el preferido fue el Caffe Sofi. Parquing propio lo que facilita moverte en coche.

Cons:

Justo debajo de nuestros habitaciones hay un pub y durante la tarde-noche se escucha bastante la musica pero sobre las 11 de la noche acabaron.
