Excellent location. A lot of non-stop noise; excessive rules. This place is very well located. Front of house can be tedious, uninterested persons, with a lot of "no". The facilities themselves are excellent - fixtures, mattress, lighting, floors, overall design are amazing. There is no microwave, unfortunately. The pool is owned and run by another entity with very short periods for swimming (closes at 1pm on weekends!). There are three sources of sound - an illegal night club diagonally across and three floors down; a poorly insulated front door (so you hear all patrons in your corridor traipsing and cajoling in the corridor at any hour of the night) and a general aircon for the whole establishment that runs 24-7 (about 70 dB measured at the bed's pillow). If you are a heavy sleeper, then this place is just for you. If you are a light sleeper, I strongly recommend you avoid this place.

Hi Vince, Thank you, I appreciate your rating and review as well as the criticisms which have already been applied to make constructive changes. On the noise issues, the below are in process: Illegal nightclub - Legal proceedings have been in motion for almost a year now against the nightclub by the Body Corporate of the Barracks, and it has reached the point where the City of Cape Town and the Liquor Board tribunal are involved to resolve. The Central Ventilation unit: After your initial complaint, the installer was contacted and has inspected the unit and found it to be operating as it should. He acquired sound testing equipment and is returning on Monday 24 February to conduct a sound test after which he will advise on a solution. The door - We are in the process of testing sealing solutions around the door frame and below the door. This should be implemented within the next month. The unit is fitted with a beautiful Bosch microwave; you might have mistaken this for an oven due to it being installed under the counter. Regulation around the pool area is strict, yes, but please bear in mind this is to ensure the safety and sanity of all our guests as open areas pose serious safety risks, and noise disturbances should they not be controlled. I would like to invite you back once the concerns raised have been resolved and am willing to offer you a night's stay at no cost with your next booking. Regards, Willem

Hi Nadine, Thank you for your review and kind words! Can I ask what you found wrong with safety. I was shocked to see that you only rated 1/5 on safety and this is a very serious matter that needs to be addressed. Access is strictly controlled and there is 24 hour security on site. Furthermore, all common areas are covered by security cameras. I would very much like to improve to ensure the safety of future guests. Apart from your low rating on safety, 100% of other guests rated the property a 5/5 for safety. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Willem

Hi Regan, Thank you for the kind words and awesome rating. I strive to earn 10/10 from guests and would appreciate it if you could share what on the service prompted a 4/5 rating. Then I can improve and hopefully get a 5/5 rating from you on your next visit. Regards, Willem

Great, also no visitors allowed, which was not what I expected. Perfect location but too noisy in the corridors.

Hi Wendy, Thanks for your review and the concern raised with noise in corridors. Was the noise from cleaning staff or other guests? I would like to have this addressed, so I would highly value your input. There is a strict policy of no guests, as this raises security concerns since guests are not checked in and vetted and cannot be held responsible. If you were expecting a guest, you are welcome to book 2 guests from the onset and have your guest check in at reception, so they are an official checked-in guest.

Hi Gerhard, Ek vra innig omverskoning vir die ongerief wat julle ondervind het met julle verblyf in my eenheid. Ongelukkig was die persone aan diens nie opgewasse om die tipe probleem te ontlont nie. Dit is op trustee vlak bespreek en ons het nou kontrak geteken met gewapende reaksie eenheid wat sal intree wanneer ons ooit weer so insident ondervind. Ek waardeer dat jou resensie privaat was en is bereid om jou 'n gratis aand aan te bied om jou ondervinding positief te maak. Groete, Willem
