Liked: Cool vibe, right on one of the main streets of Cape Town with heaps of bars in short walking distance

Disliked: The window in our room didn't have a lock on it, although it was a couple of stories up, so I suppose it was moderately secure. The staff still reccommended that we kept valubles like passports and expensive cameras etc in their safe behind the counter, which we thought was quite safe

Liked: Its a popular place with a bar that gets crowded most days (I was there just before the world cup started). Good place to meet other people

Disliked: Its a bit noisy in the rooms because of the bar but i guess thats the price to pay when you want to stay where the action is happening
