"This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as...

"Great stay! We were 4 nights in a private room and we really liked the place. It was clean, cozy and the bed was really really good, so we had an amazing sleep. All staff members we met were so incredibly nice, which made it really special to stay there. They are hosting little gathering every evening that you can attend. This makes is really cool for solo travelers that want to connect. The location in Green Point is also very safe, so that you can go for a walk. Highly recommended"

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and could not do enough to make the stay as pleasurable as possible. Room was amazing with Table Mountain View being superb. The room was spacious, light and comfortable and a nice gift for our anniversary. Food in the hotel was amazing with huge portions and the Indian Restaurant being a particular highlight - a huge thank you to Taariq Koopman, the fantastic concierge for arranging cable car visit and other top advice"
