Ligging is perfek.

Die een nag was ok, die bed/matrass is nie meer so gemaklik nie.

It was a home away from home, very caring staff.

I really appreciated the stay. The staff were welcoming, from cleaners to the main man, who was so helpful and very open and caring.

Ek sal definitief weer daar bly vir die goeie kliëntediens wat ook gebied word.

Die verblyf daar was baie gemaklik en die kliëntediens deur was heeltemal uitstekend.

Vir een aand is dit lekker slaapplek. Wellington by ontvangs is wonderlik.

Baie lekker gebly sou net wou venster in kamer hê. Baie stil en rustig.

For one night it is a nice place to sleep. Wellington at reception is great.

Very nice stay, would only like to have a window in the room. Very quiet and peaceful.

The accommodation was exactly what was needed for the trip to Cape Town.

The guesthouse was conveniently situated and I enjoyed the stay.

Peaceful night on a good bed and bedding in the city center and feeling safe.

Wellington is the heartbeat of Rio. He makes your stay pleasant and helps with everything and on his post. No smoking is ignored by guests which is an unpleasant experience. The room is very basic. And think the stay for what it offers was not justified. Better kitchen facilities can be used or each room has its own kettle and cutlery which can help.

Very bad.

I wasn't happy at all, especially with the beds. They are not comfortable, they are too loose. In the toilet, there's no toilet paper. The bathroom has cold water. The fridge was off, and even their heater wasn't working.

We needed a place to sleep close to the Castle.

The bed was clean, comfortable, no parking, very busy street. This is cbd. No windows in room. Shared toilets with no door on bathrooms. Obscure characters left in other rooms. Not feeling safe for my teenagers. Rather a motel room than a lodge. Owner was helpful and friendly, speaks no Afrikaans. It is in central Cape Town, close to Kasteel. Streets feel safe.

Gerieflike plekkie.

Oulike plekkie. Het net 1 aand oornag maar dit was gerieflik. Wellington was baie behulpsaam en inboek het seepglad verloop. Hy was bereid gewees om ons vroeër te akkommodeer as die inboektyd. Sal net voorstel dat daar miskien verwarmer in kamer gesit word. Die Kaapse winter is geniepsig.

Comfortable place.

Cute little place. Only stayed 1 night but it was comfortable. Wellington was very helpful and check-in went smoothly. He was willing to accommodate us earlier than the check-in time. Would only suggest that maybe a heater is put in room. The Cape winter is mild.

Lovely. Wellington (receptionist) is the most welcoming figure around and always willing to help.

Close to almost anything you could want. Paired with friendly services, it's well worth spending a night here.

We had a nice stay, but paying for accidentally bleeding through on the sheets is not right.

Kon nie veel rus nie.

Geraas vanaf die straat en baie dun gordyne voor die venster. Sigaretrook in die kamer van persone wat op die balkon rook. Veral in die aand.

Couldn't rest much.

Noise from the street and very thin curtains in front of the window. Cigarette smoke in the room of persons who smoke on the balcony. Especially in the evening.

Not nice.

Room offered did not have any window, television out of order due to renovation. Maybe suitable for a quick overnight stay if you arrive late in the Cape and just looking for a bed to sleep on.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Geen koffie of tee beskikbaar nie. Nie 'n veilige area vir enkelreisigers nie. Waterdruk van die stort was pateties. TV het nie gewerk nie.

No coffee or tea available. Not a safe area for single travelers. Water pressure from the shower was pathetic. TV didn't work.
