The staff is incredibly nice! Janet and the woman who works in the breakfast area in the morning were the sweetest and always asked us about our day. The rooms were very clean and the room with the plunge pool is beautiful and worth your money. I will be returning to Capetown soon and will be staying at this location again. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic boutique hotel and first class staff

A short stay at the start of a longer visit to SA. The POD hotel is in a fantastic location and a great set-up. Perfect for a chilled break. What made the stay was the incredible staff who could not have been more friendly, helpful and engaged.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were brilliant, particularly, Concy. Room a little bit of a health hazard due to raised floor around bed. A little TLC needed we felt as room was looking a little bit tired. Veranda tiles needed relaying in areas. Enjoyed our stay but felt it was not quite up to the standards being charged. Also DIY work going on across the road at an adjacent house being renovated which created noise most days.
