The apartment was spacious and the staff were efficient and helpful.
The apartment could do with some maintenance. Damp in some walls, 2nd room bedside lamps and electrical socket not working.
4.5
The rooms were very comfortable and everything we needed was there. Nice location close to the waterfront and shops in the surrounding areas. Beds were very comfy.
The name on bookings.com does not match what is on the building. We ended up at Bakoven at Atlantic Sea View apartments. The name on booking.com is Atlantic Sea View as well, but the building at 301 Beach Road is called Kingsmead, so that caused a lot of confusion and extra money spent on Ubers trying to find it. It should read correctly on Booking.com. Also, when we booked on Booking.com they quoted us R3800 then when we had to pay the amount over it suddenly jumped to R4500. This should not happen. There is also quite a bit of mold in the bathrooms, The entrance and inside balcony leaks when it rains so the apartment needs a bit of maintenance.

1. Great location
2. Sea view (just unfortunately not for sunset)
4. Big balcony (but could use some furniture! … just has some old chairs and small table)
5. Safe inside parking space
1. No air condition - got extremely hot in the bedrooms - there is one machine in living room but it’s very loud so useless for bedrooms
2. Everything is a bit run down, needs updating
3. Technician needed to come for washing machine while we were there - these things should be scheduled when guests are not there
4. Not accommodating regarding late check out (despite no guests arriving on the day we left)
5. Cleaning only once during more than one week stay
3.5
The apartment was well located, comfortable and had an partial views of both the ocean and the mountain. The facilities in the apartment were more then adequate.
I was disappointed that the washing machine did not work and that there was no dryer. Also the shower heads in the both showers need to be replaced as they leaked badly and were not as effective as it should be. We were also not able to gain access to the apartment via the main pedestrian gate and had to use the parking garage. Also the elevator in the parking garage did not work on various occassions during power outages and we had to wait for a resident to gain access to the other elevator.

Great Location. Good view.
Bed in second bedroom is very old and uncomfortable. Pillows provided were very old. The property agent was kind enough to provide some when I complained. the apartment in an old building so bathroom fittings etc are quite old. Dishwasher is very far from kitchen sink making it difficult to pack. Lift does not work during power failures. Only 1 back up light provided.

The view and the a party is perfect for a Cape Town visit!

The location was fine but what was advertised on Booking.com was a different apartment that i was told had been allocated to another visitor. Much as this was disappointing my stay was cool
Before i travelled i requested the owners by both the e-mails and WhatsApp messages that the checkout time was too early as we had travelled to celebrate a friend's birthday on 18th June so waking up on the morning of 19th could be a challenge. I was promised that was to be handled BUT i was disappointed when we were forced to moveout by 10am. My effort to request for an extra hour was futile as these people insisted on our leaving as that early. Even in big hotels once you request a not exaggerated checkout time it is always granted. My colleagues were NOT happy with this act as it was unhuman not forgetting it was winter time for people who were celebrating the previous night. Besides, i paid my deposit by cash but it took a whole week and messages for this to be refunded.

Perfect location, perfect view, very spacious, all grocery and restaurants are closeby with an access from the building. Check in and check out was super smooth.
For deposit refund, the agency asked me for CVV of my credit card which isnt a practice around the world. However, they listened to me and sent a POS at checkout.

Great service pre-arrival, during the stay and after checking out. The hosts paid serious attention to detail and to making sure that the arrival and stay were memorable. The views were amazing with 210 degree panorama - an amazing first penthouse experience.
5.0
The property was very well situated and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. It was exceptionally well appointed and was far more than we expected. Will definitely be back.

Self-catering, so no breakfast. We love the location and the apartment was spacious.
When you book a penthouse, there is a level of luxury one expects; this was not the case. Also, by booking a penthouse, we expected it to be the very top floor, but it was not communicated to us, that we would be on the fifth floor - that was disappointing. There was an expectation that for the price we paid, the apartment would have been serviced, which it was not - and only when I enquired, were we told that it could be arranged, at an extra fee. They did however, send a courtesy cleaner, once only, who also changed the bed linen and supplied fresh towels. Hence, had I not enquired, we would not have had fresh linen or towels for the duration of the nine nights. For the price and at a penthouse, for me, this does not meet expectations. Regarding the cleanliness - the fabric sofa and cushions were shabby and needed cleaning; the shower floors needed a deep clean too, and blinds and the top of cabinets were dusty. Also, the main en-suite did not have towel rails at all.

Location is perfect, walking distances from a big variety of shops, restaurants, bars and the beach.

Location was excellent and apart from completing the patio tiling all was good
wifi connection was a problem from time to time. They tried to repair it but it cost us R1 250 calling out a technician who did not help at all. In the end a doggle was used but it remained problematic
