    The lift wasn't working. I suffer from severe arthritis, it would have been good to mention something like this on their website so I wouldn't end up on the top floor. I relied on Mr D to survive.

    That the kitchen was closed 30 min before closing time indicated on the services offered. The treadmill in the small gym was not for running.

    The muslie, yogurt, and fresh fruit breakfast was great every morning. Cappuccino was excellent

    The lift didn’t work the entire 4 nights I stayed there even though I was told that it would be fixed the day of arrival. I was staying on the 5th floor so that was very unpleasant.

    The breakfast was good

    The lift was not working and no communication was shared regarding the lift. I was in the 4th floor so that was a lot of stairs with bags. The room was rather dark if lights can be fixed.

    The property was clean, room had a beautiful design and spacious. The breakfast was good and also got a welcome gift which was nice

    The lift wasn’t working but the staff helped us with luggage. There was also a funny stench but nothing too drastic.

    The industrial design was impressive as well as the restaurant and reception area.

    Broken lift. Unbearable street noise due to proximity to long street clubs and morning traffic. Operating hours of the restaurant too short. No alcohol served.

    It would have been good had it not been for the incident of a leaky roof and how poorly managed my complaint was. I complained early in the morning- the receptionist acted like it would be fixed or I’d be moved but his shift ended without anything being done and poor communication despite being probed on multiple times. Making the whole situation fall on the receptionist taking on the night shift who also did not assist at first until I had a friend over who was able to demand action. I ended up transferring (thanks to Sipho for his help) to the nearest neighbourgood hotel at 1am in an unknown location using my own transport as a female. All because of a leaky roof that they could have managed earlier on by moving rooms and fixing that.

    The elevator was not working and I had to climb the stairs to the 4th floor during my stay. I had a big luggage which I had to climb down with during leaving. It was horrible. Also, the pipes in my room were emitting bad smells from the toilet chamber I assume. I had to get used to it to let it all pass.

    Friendly staff.

    Nothing actually

    I was not in for breakfast but I wish the rate could have included breakfast. The location is excellent smack in town centre close to all amenities, restaurants, transport, major supermarkets and other retail stores. The hotel rooms are enormous, not your normal hotel room especially in Cape Town where there's no space. This is a combination of hotel room and a bit of apartment living, huge space.
