"My experience at this hotel was a far cry from what was advertised. Upon check-in, I was surprised to find additional charges, including nightly parking fees despite ample parking space available onsite, as well as a R250 per person damages deposit, which I declined to pay, leading them to take my driver's license as collateral. The floors, made of black polished concrete, were a constant source of frustration as stepping out of the shower inevitably resulted in blackened feet. I must commend...

"This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as...

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

10/10 Excellent
"The staff at Hotel Verde are all extremely friendly and efficient. The shuttle service from the airport was a blessing after a long overnight flight. Restaurant food was very reasonably priced (for someone from the UK). The food was also very well cooked and in healthy portions. The bed was super comfortable and the gardens are beautiful and a joy to walk around. There was nothing I disliked about the hotel and would highly recommends as an overnight transit hotel."
