Early checked in which was great.
There’s construction near by between 0800-1700 hrs so best to be out during those time.

Anonymous UserTrip.com It is a standard single room. This standard room is not to mention a bath. There is no bathroom. Except for a bed, a chair, and a small bedside table, there are no other facilities. I hope that it should be written clearly when introducing it, and it should be written in the single room in the public restroom.

Отличное месторасположение. Тихий район, до продуктовых магазинов 500 метров. Набережная в 30 минутах ходьбы. Удобно, что есть кухня, где можно приготовить пищу. Внутренний дворик располагает для приема пищи. В гостиницу бесконтактное заселение. Возле входной двери 10 коробочек, в которых спрятаны ключи от вашего номера. Сообщение с кодом приходит в день заезда не ранее 10-00. Достаточно удобно

I didn't like that the room didn't have a bathroom. The bathroom is to be shared. For a little extra, you can have a bathroom and better location at 82 on Regent. Motown is okay if you enjoy sharing bathrooms with strangers. Due to the concerts at the time in Cape Town, most places were sold out which is how we landed up at Motown.
