Service from night stuff was poor as they were not prepared for our stay, we found room dirty with other people spencer and sheets had Spains even after asking for them to be changed it was not changed. Breakfast was not served and they only refunded R300 for breakfast for 3 days which was not sufficient as we have booked for 4 people. We had to ask for microwave as other rooms had one

Not what description tells you
Hotel room was dirty, unmade room & towels were filthy. When told to reception they said it was cleaned and didn't seem to bother about the pictures I took to prove my findings. Description says breakfast included... this is WRONG, It was not given.

Great and friendly stuff but the luck of comfort in our room made it worse, breakfast was the same fried egg or scramble, we sleep on the mattress because there wasnt enough beds, curtain windows were also a disaster, not the best place for the price i paid.

Great location, badly managed
Staff friendly but unprofessional Flies all over at breakfast Garden service just walks onto balcony unannounced Need to leave own keys to get room service. Why they dont have extra sets of keys is beyond me 1 toilet roll supplied foe a family room ( bought our own) No complimentary soaps or just handwash 2 towels provided for a family room. When asking for more we were told they were still at the dry cleaners. When they arrived only small ones provided over an above the 2 big ones. Hot water was a problem. Can't regulate taps properly. Hot water ran out one evening only to discover they turned off the geyser. Same bland breakfast every single day. Random people manning reception - no accountability. Only spotted Shawn once after check in Badly managed place

Did not enjoy my stay
Did not enjoy this stay at all. Parking was an issue outside the hotel. By 17h30 my room had not been made up! After asking for this to be done, I was just moved to another room. On checking out at 07h30, there was nobody to assist with issuing an invoice. Overall - service does not exist.

Pleasant Stay for a Week
For the price, we had a very nice stay. The room we had was nice and clean equipped with fresh, clean linens, TV, safety deposit box, clean towels, kettle, cups, tea and coffee, a patio. A hot breakfast was included every morning. There is paid parking on the street, which is fully covered by Casa Elena for its guests (you just have to register your vehicle at the front desk). Internet was fast. Location-wise, there are many restaurants and shops around the area. Tourists and locals alike mingle in the Seapoint area.

Perfect location - feel at home abroad!
Gute Lage, in sicherer Umgebung, nächst Strandpromenade, Pools. Restaurants & Läden nebenan, Zentrum etc. mit Bus sehr gut erreichbar. Mit Taxi vom/zum Flughafen ca 30 Rand (Stand Nov.15). Personal sehr freundlich & hilfsbereit. Super bequemes Bett, eigener Aussenbereich bei meinem Zimmer. Nicht alles super clean, dies ist aber okay für mich, man fühlt sich eben wie zuhause, auch wenn mal jemand Krach macht im Korridor ;-). Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Nette Eigentümer - Grüsse an alle, komme gerne wieder :-).
