I liked the location of this hotel in proximity to the v&a Waterfront. There was a shopping mall - including a grocery store up the street which was very convenient for purchasing drinks and snacks. The apartment was fully equipped with all kitchen gadgets! And the bed was really comfy! The staff was very helpful. Internet was free. Being a self catering apartment, I didn't think I would have daily housekeeping, but there was, so that was a nice surprise. If I was staying longer, I would have used the washing machine for some laundry, but this was my last stop and I was heading home. The security guard even helped me out with a taxi misunderstanding....thanks!

There wasn't a hair dryer - but I'm sure they would have found me one if I had requested one. The safe was rather small - my laptop barely fit.

Pros: Good sized rooms but this is the only good thing about this apartment.
Cons: 1. We had read reviews about the traffic noise and being situated on the busiest traffic intersection in Cape Town but nothing can prepare you for the actual noise levels all day and night. Good window insulation would have helped but this aspect was woefully neglected when constructing this building. 2. Even though the apartment accommodates 4 people they refuse to give you more than one key per apartment meaning you can not come and go as you like, especially when going off in different directions. 3. Water pressure from basins and showers are a mere trickle. 4. No dressing table mirror ladies! So make sure you take your own.

My wife and I stayed here for five days in early May. During that time our hotel safe deposit box was robbed of $760. The remainder of our approximately $3000 in cash and other valuables were not taken. The idea was obviously to take little enough that we wouldn't notice it was gone. When we reported the problem to the night manager, he asked how much was stolen. When we told him he said, "That is way too much." We presume that this means that taking a "reasonable" amount is approved.

The box had an electronic key code that we used and a mechanical key that was available to the front desk. The general manager tried to convince us that the box could not be opened without our electronic key code. When we told her that that was not correct she finally conceded that it could be opened with just the front desk key. She was of no help what so ever and we called the police and filed a report.

Save yourself the grief and don't stay here!

We stayed here two nights after arriving in South Africa. Great place with everything you can think of: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, huge livingroom, fully equiped kitchen (with washer and dryer), TV, large balcony etc. etc. Yes it is located at a very busy point, but this means you are only five minutes from V&A waterfront. Restaurants are close by. We did not feel unsafe, though it is kind of spooky at night. The place has an underground parkinggarage, so you can drive in and out rather then walk. Great place to stay !!!
