Für mich war das Hotel abgewohnt. Mein Zimmer war sehr groß, aber mit vielen unterschiedlichen, alten Möbeln ausgestattet. Zimmrer wurden täglich gereinigt, aber die Silikonränder um die Dusche waren in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Tagsüber kann man sich auch um das Hotel herum bewegen. In der Nacht nur mit einem Taxi/Uber zum Hotel fahren, alles andere ist zu gefährlich.

とにかく広い！ アパートタイプなので自分の家みたいに使えて最高！ 立地もオフィス街の中なので、危険人物等とくに見受けられず、夜は静かなもんでした。20時くらいに隣の売店まで歩いても、とにかく人がいない。 安全、部屋の広さ、サービス、価格、どれをとっても最高です！ ただ、バスタブあるものの、水は出ないみたいです。ケープタウン全体で水の節制してるみたいなので、いたしかたないかと。

Friendly, helpful, but not terribly easy to work

The location was good for me - close to the convention centre, but not in the nicest area otherwise. The service was amazing - friendly and helpful. The rooms were large, but very uncomfortable and not convenient. All furniture (e.g., couches) seemed to have hard edges - there was no comfortable place to sit. There was also no desk or chair-height table where one could comfortably work on a laptop. Either one sat on the floor using a coffee table or perched on a little stool for the bar - not at the right height to work. Wifi (when it existed) was weak, unreliable, and required constant long-ins, as it dropped constantly. If you stopped using it for a few minutes, you needed to log on with the password again. Even if you were using it, it came and went. The beds were firm but the bedding was not great - tiny duvets that slipped off, and synthetic-filled pillows. Even when the a/c was switched off, the room temp seemed to cycle between cold and hot, and the fridge was very loud. So, not ideal to stay and work there. That said, breakfast was great (not fancy but a good variety of fresh foods), the bar/restaurant (when open, they closed on weekends and other seemingly unpredictable times) was good - good service, good prices, good food and drink. The staff were very helpful if you wanted to book a tour, but less so on advice. Overall, it was good value for money, but a struggle to work in the room between meetings.

I want my money back

The pictures you post on the website and what I found are not similar at all. 1- First of all, the hotel doesn't have a good entrance and it took us a long time to figure out to bring the bags. 2- The moment we entered the room we were shocked. The couches are clearly in bad conditions and the doors , walls, etc are not nice at all. The paint in the wall was cracked and we even found a red stain on the pillow. We did not even had the proper time to complain because it was friday and a few hours later I was going to be in holiday. If you give me an email were I can complain, I could send you the full video of the room with everything I mentioned

GREAT VALUE ALL SUITE AND CENTRAL HOTEL

This Hotel is great value in a central if slightly downtown location, but easy access to everything in the Cape Town CBD - A little quiet at night. Very spacious and and in good if not great condition. Rooms are looking a little tired and just some basic maintenance is required here and there, otherwise very friendly and offers good breakfast and spacious comfort with the great advantage of self catering if required.

Muslim guest

I really enjoyed my stay at the Circa Hotel, however they could somewhat cater for a halaal breakfast for Muslims as alot of the deals are breakfast included and we'll the breakfast ain't halaal. Other then that the hotel apartments are nice and spacious, very comforting a home away from home, friendly staff, superb location as well...
