The One 8 Hotel in Green Point - Solar Power

The location is ok, at least a 2 km walk from anywhere you'd want to go as a tourist/visitor...nothing really in the immediate vicinity. On the positive side, it did feel relatively safe, and I did like the off-street parking option for the one night that I kept a rental car there. However, the room itself and service were lacking in many ways; among them: The room has a lot of cabinetry, which I suppose is great if you're staying long enough to fully unpack, but I don't do that for fewer than 5 nights. 2. There was very little place to put things aside from in cabinets. Not a lot of surface space; no hooks to hang things, etc. 3. The room smelled musty and always felt damp. 4. There was a heat/AC unit, but the batteries in the controller were dead, so that was useless. 5. There was a hair dryer, but the plug on it wasn't compatible with any outlet in the room/bathroom 6. The bathroom had almost NO flat surface to put toiletries, etc. The shower had none at all, so you had to keep any soap/shampoo on the floor and bend down to get them. 7. The room was dirty and there was quite a bit of hair in the bathroom when we arrived. 8. There is a safe but the operating instructions didn't match it, so I locked myself out on first attempt, leaving me to keep any valuables locked in my suitcase. 9. They don't provide drinking water or ice. There is a drinking water dispenser in the breakfast area, but they don't allow guests to fill water bottles; it has to be bought.

Sehr nettes kleines Hotel, großes Zimmer. Kein persönlicher Flair, das Zimmer (Hotel) hätte überall auf der Welt sein können.

We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Cape Town. Beaner, Ellack and Christian were amazing hosts and did everything they could to make our stack comfortable. The hotel is in a great location, close to many to Cape Town's sights, and we also enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is extremely clean and comfortable with good security. And the pool area is cute and very welcoming. HIghly recommend!
