satisfactory stay

fresh omelets complementary bus artificial grass limited chairs

The breakfast was a lovely experience with bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomato, and potato cake available. fresh omelets were also made to order, it was good. the hotel offered a complementary bus to and from the v&a. It was so convenient.

The pool felt more like a footbath, surrounded by a small patch of artificial grass. there were only two sun beds and a few chairs available. It felt limited. the staff weren't always available around that area. it was not ideal.

friendly staff close watch great convenience

The staff was friendly. they kept a close watch on my parked car. the hotel sits within walking distance of kloof street. It has all the restaurants, bars, and shops you could want! i loved that convenience.

the noise on the eighth floor was a bit much. there was a constant hum. i asked to be moved the following night, then i had an old air conditioner rattling all night.

inaccurate room service early closure

the staff was helpful, especially at reception when i phoned them. the adjacent hotel provided safe parking with 24-hour security.

The room service hours listed in the information book were inaccurate. I couldn't get a drink in the evening because the restaurant and bar closed very early. that was really inconvenient.
