The apartment is beautiful but the couches are old and dirty they need to be changed as in 3years ago. Bedding also old please get warm duvets. Cleaning lady not friendly at all, doesn’t greet she needs classes for that, otherwise the apartments are in a nice area except it’s very noisy around there bcse they are not sound proof u can hear everything happening outside and in the pub next to it.

Not too bad

My kids arrived late as arranged with Host for 8pm.  They could not check in for another 1hour due to the Host washing carpets.  

The white bathroom towels was laid on the floor at the entrance to each bedroom .They smell of old food, alcohol and cigarettes was overwhelming when you walked in the front door.  The walls were dirty.  The intercom phone had a large hole around it like someone had previously ripped it off.  The tiled floor was so sticky.  The kitchen table leg was loose which made the table move in all directions.  The sleeper couches were cut and the arm was broken due to clients not knowing how the couch opens so says the Host "Vassi"  The curtains that hang by the balcony were cut and shredded to pieces with very large stains all over. For a flat that says NO SMOKING there were many burn marks on the counter and the carpets.  There were no pillow cases on the pillows in the one bedroom and the bedding looked like it had never been washed before.

The total condition of this flat was totally unacceptable for the money I had paid and find that the pictures shown on all the booking sites are misleading and they should be removed until they get their act together and clean up and fix this flat.

DIRTY AND GRIMY

I booked last minute and didn’t receive his email that I need to pick up key in different place. I told him that I dont have cash in South Africa due to safety reason and he yelled over the phone that “I am general manager of the company and you ask me leave my office to deliver the key at apartment. No I wont give you the key and booking is non refundable, you wont get money back.” as he uses to yell to his customers during check in time! He does business in hospitality industry but he has no idea what to do and “I don’t care” or, “you are killing me” when I request key at apartment. I had to contact to hotels.com and he only came after they talk to him.The facilities of apartment is tired: cabpet is old and sofas are broken. “This internet is only for check mail. If you watch YouTube, film, download / upload, I will charge you. These sofabed can not convert to be a bed as it is broken, if you try to conver it, I will charge you... the building has car parking for this apartment, If you park you have to pay 50R per day to ME”. Well all is he wants to save the cost and collect extra money from customers as much as he can. Bye bye Greece Dad never see you again! I strongly NOT RECOMMEND this place.

AWEFUL STAY EVER!

Very disappointing if you are use to European standards of accommodation. 

The photographs used to advertise 905 must have been done with a fisheye lens. 

Everything about the place was tired and shabby. To have an internal bathroom is fine but then to have an internal bedroom as well, was too much. 

For the same money you can get a much higher standard in a much better location.

Capetown holiday apartments where the booking agent and very unhelpful. 



Don’t 

Keys to the apartment need to be collected at the Centurion Hotel in Seapoint between 16-20. We were told that due to previous tenant not vacating the apartment on time our apartment was just being cleaned, this at 16!. We collected our keys and drove to the CBD where the apartment is located. After a 10 hour journey by car we were tired and looking forward to getting settled in the apartment, no such luck....we were told to go and do whatever we wanted to do later and that the apartment would only be ready around 17h30 !!!!. Furthermore not even complimentary Milk,Coffee,Tea or Sugar to be seen. Very difficult to sleep as the windows are very badly sealed and one hears the continous traffic noise 24/7.


Apartment not ready and very noisy

These apartments have so much potential but are in dire need of attention, the walls are dirty, there is no air-conditioning, be careful to leave your windows open as the resurant downstairs pizza oven smoke come directly into the apartment, not very healthy. The security is good, the parking is good the apartment is central and in walking distance from shops and waterfront.  If you don't mind pizza oven smoke or road noise you will be very comfortable. The restaurant downstairs food is very good. 

Horrible

Not enough bedding. Rude staff. Accommodation dirty.

Rude disrespectful staff

The service was ok but condition of the hotel was not good.

On check in a few miles from location the check in was over an hour long.Driving to the hotel to then have a shower the running water was like sewerage, dirty and brown, could not use shower or clean teeth in the basin water disgusting.Bed linen not adequate, dirty, dirty towels, Lounge chair sofa beds x2, one sheet and one blanket for two children on one sofa bed, and for the second sofa bed only one sheet only for my third child, very cold, pillows old and damp and mouldy. MY WIFE AND I HAD TO PURCHASE SHEETS, PILLOWS AND BLANKETS the next morning from Sheet Street, were also had to complain and were moved into a next room the next day, whilst again waiting for 2 hours.
