Positive Reviews
positive:
Everything you need within walking distance
Previous guests were thrilled to find that everything they needed was within easy walking distance of their apartment, which added no small amount of convenience to their stay in Cape Town. It's close to many shops, restaurants, bars, and attractions, in addition to being within walking distance of the water.
positive:
The facilities are excellent
Guests were quite impressed with both the pools and fitness centre. They generally found them to be a much higher standard than they were used to in their travels.
positive:
Daily housekeeping
Unlike similar serviced apartments, V & A Marina Waterfront has daily housekeeping service. The majority of guests reported that the cleaning staff did an excellent job of keeping their apartment maintained throughout their stay.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Is anybody there?
Though most guests did not experience issues of this nature, a few were perturbed to find that they had great difficulty contacting anyone on the staff to report problems with their apartment.
negative:
Air conditioning issues
Maintenance complaints left by reviewers were not incredibly common, but of those that did the issue was almost always with the A/C unit either not working at full capacity or not functioning at all. This was a particular problem for guests who had to contend with the summer heat.
negative:
You may hear some traffic noise
Some guests who stayed in apartments near the road complained that the walls were poorly insulated, and found the traffic noise to be excessive. Some even went so far as to report that they had trouble sleeping.
