See stars.
Friendly welcome, the hotel in breathtaking! It looks just like the web page. It was peaceful, we could sleep well. Breakfast was off the books, can't wait to go back.
Neat accommodation that is very well located with good service and hospitality. Would recommend to anyone.
Loved the old-worldly character combined with high-tech work environment and friendly staff. Made us feel at home. Not just another hotel room but a place with a soul.
We loved the character of the hotel, and the rooms were spacious despite being described as small. It is quirky, which we liked. The staff were friendly. The creaking plumbing may disturb some people, but we didn't mind.
Like the hotel, but customer service lacking. Reported on day one that the basin did not have a plug and the toilet roll holder hanging by a thread - nothing done about this at all. Only one dressing gown in the room - very unnerving considering the threats of charging for missing items from the room. Letter of welcome on arrival a little harsh regarding the various fines that could be levied. Did not leave a warm fuzzy feeling. Went down to reception at one point to ask for the second dressing gown, and she could not talk to me or help me because she was on a zoom meeting - why was there not another person on duty with her ? Very odd !
Based on the Google Reviews, there's a serious problem with the conduct of the front desk staff. I don't think that a receptionist needs to be told to switch off whatever they're watching on their cell phones when checking in guests. It didn't seem to bother him. Secondly, if there is an issue with the amounts paid to you and the hotel, don't make it the guest's issue especially when it's as low as R59 and then harping on about how you keep quoting incorrect amounts. This is not the guest's issue and doesn't need to be brought up even though we would have been happy to pay the difference if there was an issue. Thirdly, based on my communication with the hotel, if there's an agreement that we can check in earlier, don't tell guests that you don't know where you heard that and make a big deal out of it because we were 30 minutes early. To top it off, refusing eye contact and greeting when leaving or entering is not on. It doesn't look like this line of work is for him. The rest of the accommodation was decent. Signs of wear everywhere but nothing bothersome.
We only stayed over for 1 night. Very clean and accessible.
Very nice experience to stay in the Old Foundry.
Hubby and I enjoyed the hotel's quirkiness and it was funky and fun. Sadly, the actual hotel room is not practical, especially for a stay longer than two nights. The room itself was spacious, no problem there. However, the bathroom is just too impractical and has a far too open view for our liking. A little bit of frosting would go a long way. The bathroom was very cramped and the layout was not great, with nowhere to really place towels. The shower was more than adequate in size, however, the floor was exceptionally slippery and there was quite a step-down out of the shower, so both of us almost fell a few times. And yes, the first room we were in came with a complimentary cockroach. Not to mention 1 towel, no shampoo, and no milk. Thankfully, the staff are lovely and swapped rooms and sorted that out quickly. However, we had no milk again on the very next day. The noise from outside the hotel is just a complete racket, and this is at 6am on a weekend morning. This is not the hotel for you if you want a peaceful and restful stay. Again, the hotel itself is really fun and quite lovely, and in a great position, just the bathrooms are a letdown and the noise from outside is unbearable. Thank you to the staff who were so accommodating and lovely, they really saved the day by changing our room quickly.
Room with black walls, floors and decor, small windows with little light. Lukewarm showers in the Cape winter. One gown, one cup and one towel in a room booked for two. Broken furniture and a cracked mirror. The one towel was full of holes and so washed through that it could no longer dry. We asked for more towels at reception and were promised they would bring them to the room. It never happened. By far the worst accommodation ever in Cape Town, and expensive - especially for what we got.
I just loved the fact that is so central we we actually close to everything. We walked to V&A Waterfront and Long Street.
Reception staff were very friendly, did more than job description. My husband was surprised with cheesecake for his birthday.
Some of the things that bothered the room: open bathroom, did not appear as such in photos. Sheer curtain at window facing the street. No power plug in reach of kettle/coffee machine. Coffee machine out of order. No milk available. Crawling insects around the coffee making facilities and on desk. It also felt unsafe at the parking area.
Old Foundry Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again without a doubt!
Other than that it was nice.
