The room size felt cramped, especially for a multi-night stay. a lack of proper soundproofing became apparent. Noise from outside was disruptive at times. i also had issues with the breakfast coffee, it tasted weak and somewhat stale..

charming stay near nelson mandela square!
great locationvaried optionshelpful staffquick workout
I was charmed by the location. It is a short walk to nelson mandela square. the breakfast offered a variety of options, i found something new each morning! the staff was very helpful and always available. I found the service commendable. i used the gym. It had sufficient equipment for a quick workout.
The room was a bit compact. It could have benefited from a small refrigerator, though this did not significantly impact my stay.
