Happy staff , cleanliness 100%

ready to serve staff and good location. was easy to locate and conspicuous facilities are modest Prices are good and competitive. i recommend to other people more facilities could be provided. there should be opportunity for the provision of food at a cost more hangers should be provided there should be the provision of more blanketsve
-
I would be great if the lockers where you could lock stuff up when you are not around the room. People come and go anything can happen. That's the only thing I didn't like.
-
Nothing

Great location. The facility, but reasonable for the price.
-
Honestly, nothing
-
I like the staff and location alot. Staff was very cooperative and help you anytime you call them. I like everything. But i think i should hv a private washroom as if you are booking a complete room. Rest i am satisfied.

Centrally located in downtown. Old wooden property. Not that silent coz Full of night clubs are around there.

The location on Long Street made it so easy to explore Cape Town both during the day and at night. It was also easy to buy anything necessary for the stay.

Jamal was very receptive and show us all the place. The shower last floor was great. The place for smoke weed was nice and diferent. The balcony has a great view of busy night life. May you can here some street noise, but we already expect that.

Thanks for the friendly welcome Jamal. A bit noise, but we expect that

The room in the shower is really small, and has no place/holder to put your shampoo somewhere. And there is no window.
-
I like the proximity to other nice places. Nothing really serious

The upstairs balcony area The facility/room, was not soundproofed at all
-
It was good.

Some one took my money … so please do keep cash in wallet or in bag ..
-
The roome was untidy, smelly and it was just impossble for me to even try and spend a minute in there. I asked for a blanket and spent the night sitting in the lounge which was also poorly kept - old broken furniture to say the least. The facility has a lot of potential and needs a complete makeover Clean room
