The only nice thing I can say about this hotel is that the rooms in the new 'Green Annexe' section are very nice, and that it is very conveniently situated within Cape Town - but everything else about this hotel is terrible. Instead of harping on, here's a list:
- The aircon in my room did not work and it was freezing. Took the hotel 24 hours to repair it.
- The aircon repair guy showed up around dawn and woke me.
- No hot water in the shower (great when you're already freezing).
- They have the audacity to charge extra for parking (ZAR70 / day) but have no space in the tiny, outdoor courtyard where they make you park your car!
- Because the parking was full, a valet offered to park for me. When I returned later they could not locate my car. It was eventually found at a hotel next door and I was 30 minutes late for a meeting.
- Unapologetic staff who just nod when you voice complaint and then proceed to ignore you.
- The toaster in the breakfast restaurant was broken - which wouldn't be a problem except that it seems most things at this hotel don't work.
I could go on. It's pretty simple though: stay away.
