Hello, we stayed in room 3 at Ashanti guest house 1. Room was clean and comfy. Staff were super helpful. Some things we had issues with. The wifi was spotty. The room lights were difficult to turn off as the light switch seemed broken or malfunctioning. S
Bathroom door was very loud and not enough privacy. The room keys shouldn't be branded with the company logo. If the keys are lost. It's very easy for a person to figure out where the key belongs to. Thank you so much. We had a comfortable stay otherwise.
Vary good position in town walking distance to town centre and close driving for table mountain and the water front, pity there was not a fridge in room and shower could have had a bit more pressure

Hyvä sijainti. Monipuoliset palvelut. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.
This Guesthouse was horrible and smelling. had smelly towels. bedding was stained. had a musky smell. all guests were not happy. had to wait half an hour to open the door, even after calling them earlier that day to confirm arrival just after 9am.
My stay was horrible. Very smelly towels. Bedding was stained. got to Guest house at at 21h15 and waited half an hour for someone to open the door.
the hotel was smelling very bad.
Had four guests booked in and all hated their stay. I do not recommend this guesthouse to anyone.

Gute und günstige Alternative zu einem Backpacker
Wann kann man schon in einem Haus schlafen, dass eine "Nationale Monuments"-Plakette trägt ? Das Guest House befindet sich etwa 200 Meter vom Haupthaus, wo die Rezeption, die Bar und das Frühstück serviert wird. Zimmer ist sehr ruhig, WIFI ist kostenlos und auch sehr gut, zum Fernsehen hatte ich keine Fernbedienung und das Duschwasser wurde nie warm und kaltduschen ist nicht so mein
