Excellent value, friendly staff and a comfortable room
Pros:

The Claremont location suited me perfectly, as the purpose of my Cape Town visit was to catch up with friends in the southern suburbs. It would perhaps not have been so suitable if I had been planning a purely sightseeing tour of Cape Town

Cons:

There was some road noise which didn’t bother me, but noise sensitive visitors may find that a problem

Lovely staff. Comfortable room with all necessary requirements. Bed was very comfortable.
Pros:

My breakfast was not good - i sent it back uneaten. The bacon smelt off, the poached egg tasteless. I ended up just having coffee. My friends breakfast was fine & he had no complaints.

Cons:

The breakfast - as per my info above.
