Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Well located but very poor accommodation
On entry to the room it was clear that the owner lived in an open plan area adjoining the room and seems to share the bathroom. There was dirty bed linen soaking in the bath. The room was dirty and musty. We turned the aircon on to provide fresh air. We could not leave the door open because another room looks into the room we were allocated. Hotel.com should not have this on their books until the ensure the owner has passed and electrical inspection. The electrics tripped out overnight and there were no lights in the morning and no hot water. We checked out immediately and found another venue for the Cape Town Mining Indaba.

On check in , my bathroom hadn’t been serviced at all. Brake marks in the toilet, hair in the wash basin, no shampoo or body lotion in the bathroom, virtually no toilet paper. Most disappointing and the worst possible welcome any guest can receive.

Good location for walking to either the V&A Waterfront or downtown. Convenient to city bus routes. Breakfast is at a cafe about 2 blocks away. Nice start to the day. Gordon, the host, is very nice and accommodating.

Small compact comfortable unit, within easy walking access to Waterfront. Very friendly and amenable host, who went out of his way to fetch us from the airport as car hire was booked out solid throughout Cape Town. Ideal for the short business trip.

Nothing special at all... Especially at that price... It's basically some guy's house and u rent a room in his house. Would not consider this a guest house. At your own risk... I was not satisfied at all

Really good location
We spend a few days at Gordons house. Its a perfect location for exploring the city and on a nice area. We had a room in the back, it was a little dark and small but ok. The bed coukd be better, should probably soon be changed. Breakfast is not in the house, but at a little place nearby. All in all we had some fine days here.
