Very neat and cozy. Great! Grateful to have spent my weekend here! It is quite outdated, so well-suited as a lock-up and go type of stay. Very central and positioned for trips to City Centre, Constantia and the like.

Absolute pleasure staying at Herschel Court Studio. Joy and Mike are the absolute best hosts. Anything I would ask for was done in no time, and they even went the extra mile. I highly recommend Herschel Court Studio. The location is very convenient; it was easy to get to different places in the city, UCT, etc. Claremont is a very central suburb. Shopping and eating in the area is just a stone's throw away. Thank you, Joy and Mike.

This small self-catering flat was exactly as the photo showed. It was exactly what we needed. The WiFi is weak, and the online TV does not work because the WiFi connection is a low bit-rate. But we did not want to watch TV anyway, just eat and sleep after our day at the conference. What we would suggest is to have blockout curtains and not the fine see-through type. It would make the room darker during the night with all the street lights and maybe reduce the road sounds.

Conveniently located. Being a studio unit in an old building, the unit is basic. However, it has all the essential items for an easy overnight stay and is very conveniently located for shops, restaurants, the southern suburbs, and the city bowl. The lack of cleanliness is really unfortunate.

Thank you for your feedback, Alison. It's greatly appreciated. We apologise for the three issues that had been overlooked and have since attended to: 1. A tissue in a drawer, 2. The cleaning and removal of the shower drain, 3. and the imperfect breadboard. Otherwise, I understand everything else was clean and in good order. Thank you for your input and we hope to see you again. Kind regards, Joy and Mike.

Dankie vir jou terugvoer, Alison. Dit word baie waardeer. Ons vra om verskoning vir die drie kwessies wat oor die hoof gesien is en wat sedertdien aandag gegee het aan: 1. 'n sneesdoekie in 'n laai, 2. Die skoonmaak en verwydering van die stortafvoer, 3. en die onvolmaakte broodbord. Andersins verstaan ek alles anders was skoon en in goeie orde. Dankie vir jou insette en ons hoop om jou weer te sien. Vriendelike groete, Joy en Mike.

Really enjoyed the area we stayed in. We spent 6 days over year end season. The area was rather noisy on New Year's Eve, but we did expect that.

Dissapointed and feeling ripped off, will not recommend! Very dissapointed. The place wasn't ready on time. When we arrived they were still busy cleaning up and connecting the WiFi. We waited in our car for about 20 minutes. The place had a musty, mouldy smell. It seemed it badly needed to be aired. We tried to keep some windows open to get rid of the smell, but it was difficult because it's located on a busy street corner (noise pollution) and it was really cold. There was mould on the walls and window frames (not cleaned) and one of the chairs. The curtain was hanging loose on one side (no hooks) and the venetian blind was damaged and in need of replacement. The bedding was clean, but it seemed like the owner bought it at a thrift shop (or old bedding from their own home). The toaster and heater worked, but also looked like something that was past its sell-by date. There is no security gate, hence the poor safety score. Electrical wall plugs were loose and could pose a safety risk.

Grubby, musty, mouldy and very tired. In need of serious care. The unit is in serious need of care and maintenance. It is musty, the shower and kitchen drains are blocked, the basin tap is loose, mould around the basin. Towels are very thin. Tea, coffee and sugar offered were not fresh. I did not enjoy the stay at all.
