My room and bathroom were spacious and clean. Staff was accommodating to my arriving very late (after midnight). Parking is a bit tricky but it pays off to be close to all of the wonderful restaurants and shopping in Kalk Bay. I would come back if ever in this area again. ##### Clarissa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short but wonderful stay Excellent! Our first floor room was spacious and well decorated with all ameneties including tea/coffee, fridge, beach towels etc. TV had Netflix etc. More St James than Kalk Bay but only 10mins walk to Kalk Bay. Breakfast was excluded but we just added and the choice was extensive. parking was available just around the corner. Only two comments which did not bother us was that the room had no air-con but was very cool. Overhead fan and open windows were fine. The only other comment its that the road is quite busy and the odd train passes by but we would still definitely return! ##### Carl Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### gloria 8 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our check in went well until I discovered they had a wrong name at which point they said the pipes were broken and moved us to a different property. Interesting that when they thought we were someone else, the room was ok. We had to ask about the included breakfast. All was fine, although the new place, not as cozy and not within walking distance of another family members booking made on purpose close by. ##### gloria Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### karen 23 Apr 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The shower was not working upon arrival. The next day, the shower worked, but it was leaking heavily. Also, I dropped a vitamin on the floor. When I went to pick it up, I looked under the bed. The floor under the bed was filthy. ##### karen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilse 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wat een geweldig hotel!!
