Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating is low — The comfort category scores 5.0, well below other categories, suggesting some guests found beds or furnishings less comfortable.
- Short check-in and check-out windows — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 18:00 and check-out from 08:00 to 11:00, which may be restrictive for certain travel plans.
- Not in central Cape Town — The property is about a 25-minute walk from Clifton and a 10-minute drive to the city centre, so guests wanting immediate city access may need transport.
