Dit was goed. Net nie 100% wat verwag was nie.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie. Ons het bespreek met vooruitsig dat alles by een perseel is: verblyf, restaurant en swembad. Teleurgesteld toe ons aanwysings kry na ons verblyf, weg van bogenoemde. Duidelikheid tydens bespreking sou gaaf gewees het. Verblyf was oorhoofs heel goed en mooi skoon.

It was good. Just not 100% what was expected.

Not what I expected. We booked with the prospect that everything would be at one site: accommodation, restaurant and swimming pool. Disappointed when given directions to our accommodation, away from the above. Clarity during discussion would have been nice. Accommodation was overall very good and clean.

Good day,
we do have a property listing (Urban Oasis Aparthotel) where we have a coffee shop, restaurant, bars etc. in the building, and it seems that your booking was meant for this listing and not the one for our apartments here.
While we understand that this is not what you expected, we cannot really do anything about that as we receive the booking property-specific.
Maybe you can give our Apart-Hotel a chance with your next booking?
Thanks for now.

Neat but wouldn't go back.

It wasn't exactly what we expected based on the pictures, and there was a smoke/cigarette smell that lingered in the air, which wasn't pleasant. It was neat and clean, but we wouldn't necessarily want to go back there. Also, it was quite noisy; we could hear the neighbours and people in the corridors.

Urban Oasis at Four Seasons 's response

Hi Nichole, we are sorry to hear about the cigarette smell in the corridors. Our apartments (we manage 5 apartments in this building) are strictly non-smoking, but others are not, and the cigarette smell is unfortunately not contained in one unit.
We hope you had a nice time in Cape Town otherwise.

False advertising and a terrible experience.

We were very disappointed in the quality of the accommodation and I even called you on Saturday to report my dissatisfaction. The pictures used do not show the rooms in reality. The furniture is torn and the bed is broken. We were only provided with 1 adult towel and 1 hand towel even after multiple requests which I have proof of, we only received an extra towel on a Sunday afternoon ─ two days into our stay. Two adults had to share a towel for 3 days which is disgusting. They didn't clean the dustbins and no bin was provided in the bathroom even after the cleaner advised there should be a bin. They basically just made the beds every morning. All in all, the accommodation was very unsatisfactory and not at all what I would expect from the accommodation listed with you. The other couple that booked with us refused to stay at this accommodation.

Urban Oasis at Four Seasons 's response

Good day Carla,
As we received this devastating review only 3 weeks after your stay, we can of course not check on the condition of the "torn and broken" furniture and bed, but we believe that this is not a true reflection of the situation as we had over 40 bookings since then with many very good reviews.
We strongly object to the insinuation that our photos are not recent and accurate as they indeed are exactly that.
We manage 5 properties in this building, and the listing contains images of all apartments in equal quantity.
We are of course disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay and would have loved to see you are comfortable in our apartment, but we have to accept that it is not always possible.

Not gas free at all. The guards who receive you are uninformed and inept.

No, the service was poor and on arrival you have guards talking to you and should not be in the business at all. I am disappointed and my trust in accommodation through the platform has taken a hit. The aria was unknown to me but really not a place that will see me again.

Urban Oasis at Four Seasons 's response

Good day Gerda, we are of course very disappointed by your review, especially because we cannot understand it at all. The area is one of the safest in the entire city with excellent security in the building itself, strict access control and CCTV coverage. With the main police station a mere 50 meters away and Parliament and their protection unit around the corner, we are glad to confirm that we have never had an incident in the more than 8 years we manage our apartments there. We are sad to see that despite all of the above security measures in the area you felt so unsafe that it prompted such as devastating review of our accommodation by yourself.
We are always trying to make our guests as comfortable as possible but have to accept that inner city living is not for everybody.

Asemrowend.

Daar was nie verduidelik waar ons moet incheck nie, so dit was 'n ingewikkelde situasie. Moes toe na die hotel toe gaan om in te check. Nie geweet daar is 'n hotel ook nie. Die kamer is baie mooi en skoon, al die geriewe binne was wonderlik. Die uitsig was ook mooi gewees. Manager Gerhart was uitstekend gewees toe ons gesukkel het om in te check.

It was not explained where we should check in, so it was a complicated situation. Then had to go to the hotel to check in. Didn't know there was a hotel either. The room is very nice and clean, all the amenities inside were great. The view was also beautiful. Manager Gerhart was excellent when we had trouble checking in.

Urban Oasis at Four Seasons 's response

Hi Benita, thanks for the feedback and apologies for the confusion at check-in. We offer 24-hour check-ins and can only do so when we have a reception desk that is open 24 hours, which is not the case in the properties where our apartments are located. We will try to be clearer about the check-in procedure so that we can avoid a re-occurrence.
We are happy you enjoyed your stay after the check-in issue was addressed and hope to see you again in the future.
Thanks again for your support.

Lekker met 'n paar teleurstellings.

Lekker gebly. 'n Paar negatiewes: 1. Die handdoeke was vuil en vol merke. 2. Die stortgordyn was vol swart merke. 3. Die wasbak in die badkamer was vol merke (asof iemand daar gerook het en die stompies op die rand geplaas het). 4. Die 'aircon' beskikbaarheid is misleidend. Die eenheid het 'n losstaande aircon wat verskriklik raas. Anders as die bogenoemde kon ons geen fout vind nie en die tyd geniet in die Kaap.

Nice with a few disappointments.

Nice stay. A few negatives: 1. The towels were dirty and full of marks. 2. The shower curtain was full of black marks. 3. The sink in the bathroom was full of marks (as if someone had smoked there and placed the butts on the edge). 4. The 'aircon' availability is misleading. The unit has a detached aircon which is terribly noisy. Other than the above we couldn't find any fault and enjoyed the time in the Cape.

Dis duur vir wat jy kry.

As jy in die stad is en jy soek net 'n plek om te slaap kan dit seker werk, maar dis baie duur vir wat jy kry. Die plekkie is klein. Die duvet was effens te klein vir die bed. Die badkamer is klein, ek kan sien hoekom hulle die deur vervang het met 'n skuifdeur. Daardie selfde skuifdeur het bietjie aandag nodig, dit wil nie mooi toemaak nie. 'n Paar van die gloeilampe was geblaas. Daar was nie 'n kurktrekker nie. Koffie was kitskoffie met poeierromer en verslankingsuiker - teleurstellend vir die prysklas. Ek verwag darem suiker vir my koffie! Die gange van die Four Seasons is nou en bedompig. Daar is nie duidelike aanwysingstekens van die parkeerarea na die hysbak toe nie. Die uitsig is asemrowend, maar dis nie die enigste plek met 'n mooi uitsig nie.

It's expensive for what you get.

If you're in the city and you're just looking for a place to sleep it might work, but it's very expensive for what you get. The place is small. The duvet was slightly too small for the bed. The bathroom is small, I can see why they replaced the door with a sliding door. That same sliding door needs some attention, it won't close properly. A few of the bulbs were blown. There was no corkscrew. Coffee was instant coffee with powdered creamer and slimming sugar - disappointing for the price range. At least I expect sugar for my coffee! The corridors of the Four Seasons are narrow and stuffy. There are no clear direction signs from the parking area to the lift. The view is breathtaking, but it's not the only place with a nice view.

Hi Carol-Anne,
We are sad that you did not enjoy our apartment as much as we are striving for.
As we have no control over the communal areas of the apartment building (signage and design of the corridors) we want to respond to the issues raised directly related to the apartment and service.
While we do regular inventory, we dont always pick up items that went missing and all we can do is to apologize for this, we have of course used your feedback to replace the missing items. We are not sure how we can improve on the issue with the duvet, all our beds are either Queen or King size with the matching mattresses and bedding / linen.
For the benefit of our future guests who read this review: Should anything in the apartment be missing or not being to your satisfaction, please just let us know during your stay and we will immediately sort it out, we are only 3 minutes away from the apartment building.

Hi Willem, we are sorry to see that you did not like our service and while we wish that we had been able to meet your expectations, we take this opportunity to set the record straight for the benefit of our future guests:
We could not check you in earlier than our normal check-out time, but we also did not check you in late.
You enquired about a 07.00 transfer to a location 3.7 km away and we submitted the costing of our shuttle service and also offered to simply book an Uber for you as an alternative. Again, we are sorry we could not make this stay an enjoyable one but we will of course, keep on trying.

Good day Kobus, we are very sad to see that you did not enjoy your stay with us at all.
Your stay was during the night where the CBD had the heaviest rainfall in over 20 years and this was combined with 75 km/h winds. And yes, the panoramic window was leaking and yes, we could not do anything as it was too windy to open the window and fit new seals, however, we did fix it the next day.
All we can do at this stage is to apologize, we were simply not prepared for that kind of storm.

Hi Nastasja,
We are managing 5 apartments in the Four Seasons Building, 2 of which are studios (open plan) and 3 are 1 bedroom apartments. The photos we display are accurate for each apartment, but are of course a compilation of all 5.
So the apartment you booked will only match some of the photos, not all of them as there are 5 different ones.
Sorry we could not meet your expectations, we will try to make it clearer that there are indeed 5 apartments, all similar in size and furnishings, but differ in lay-out.
