The guest experience

8.5out of 10
772 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Rooftop infinity pool and scenic pool deck
  • Spacious, comfortable rooms and apartments
  • Friendly, helpful and polite staff (including security)
  • Convenient, safe Westlands location near Westgate Mall
  • Extensive amenities (sauna, steam room, gym, squash court)
  • Good value for money

Worth knowing — Bathroom cleanliness issues and laundry-room odor · Insufficient towels/soap reported in some bathrooms · Only one key provided for groups (operational inconvenience) · Some rooms/apartments not matching booked category; uncomfortable couches · Stained chairs and irregular linen changes in some units · Loud music from nearby bars on weekends

How guests scored the stay

  • Service9.0

    Very strong: staff repeatedly described as wonderful, kind, helpful and polite (including security). Frequent praise for attentive service justifies a high score.

  • Location9.0

    Strong and convenient: Westlands location, short walk to Westgate Mall, safe and walkable. Minor negative note about loud music from nearby bars on weekends.

  • Amenities9.0

    Excellent amenities: standout rooftop infinity pool with scenic deck, sauna, steam room, full gym, squash court and convenient on-site dining/cafe — frequently highlighted as a key positive.

  • Value for Money9.0

    Perceived as high value: explicit mentions of strong CP value and overall recommendations indicate guests feel they get good value for the price.

  • Overall Experience8.5

    Overall very positive stay with many recommendations due to location, staff and rooftop amenities, tempered by cleanliness and occasional room-allocation issues.

  • Room Quality8.0

    Generally spacious and comfortable with good beds, patios and kitchen facilities; some guests reported not receiving the booked room category, uncomfortable living-room couches and occasional stains, so quality is good but not flawless.

  • Food and Beverage8.0

    Generally positive: breakfast buffet noted to have nice choices and decent coffee and the restaurant has a great vibe; a few comments cited limited breakfast options or minor service items missing.

  • Cleanliness7.5

    Mixed reports: several guests praised large, clean rooms, but multiple comments noted bathroom cleanliness issues, laundry-room odor, insufficient towels and stained chairs/irregular linen changes—hence a modest downgrade.

    “Clean newly decorated rooms and bathrooms, sofa-tv room, kitchen facilities, guest toilet etc. Supermarket at ground floor was very convenient. Chocolate bar at ground floor was nice. Uber pick up and drop off was inside the building at reception area which was very convenient.”

    Nicola · solo traveller · 2026-09-05

    “Apartment was spacious and beds comfy. Kitchenette/fridge were useful. Shop in lobby useful but doesn't have much in it. Good breakfast and pool area was nice (although no where near as big/nice as it looks on photos).”

    “The place is centrally located within walking distance to malls. Great value for money for self catering. Breakfast is generous and included. You get drinking water and tea/coffee daily in your unit and housekeeping services. You get the best of both worlds. Just don't take an early morning flight like we did. Our party of 6 had to wait until 2pm to check in or pay an extra 100usd. The facilities are wonderful, the swimming pool, and sauna were a big hit. If you want to keep costs down you can cook in their fully equipped kitchen. They had an iron and washer/dryer comb so you don't need to bring a travel iron. There was also a blow dryer and AC. No complaints about my room. Pleasant and exactly like the pictures.”
