inadequate lighting kitchen noise
the staff were indeed helpful.
however, my room lacked adequate lighting, especially near the wardrobe area. i needed a torch to see the safe and air conditioning controls. the placement near the kitchen also caused some noise disturbance throughout my stay.

helpful staff professionalism balance room balcony faulty light chipped paint shower grout
The hotel staff were helpful! They balanced professionalism with a friendly demeanor. The room was very spacious. It had a balcony that looked over to Table Mountain.
The light next to the bed did not turn all the way off when I flipped the switch! I had to unscrew the light bulb each night. Paint chipped off the corners of the walls. The shower grout had some mold.
