This is a rather difficult review to write, as there are extremes of both good, average and extremely poor. Our stay was 6 days

The good - the café below the hotel, food was excellent, the staff were stunning , especially Stan - friendliest waiter in town.

The location of the hotel is superb, you can walk to the CBD or Waterfront and there are also many excellent restaurants in the area. Be warned this is a city location and it is quite noisy late at night but that adds to the vibe.

The average: This is not a hotel, the name is misleading, the rooms have no aircon, no TV, no radio and are quite small, the bathroom is in the room, the bed old and lumpy, you will die of heat in the summer.

The bad, management seems to have no interest in their guests comfort, despite the drought being long over, we were advised that whilst our room would be cleaned every day towels and linen would only be change once every 4 days and if we wanted sooner we would have to pay.

Day 4, we were advised that the housekeeper was lazy was leaving for home in another country and hadn't cleaned our room, changed our linen or emptied bin, the manageress who was on duty, who appeared to have a working pair of hands did not offer clean lined or even to empty our bin. Day 5 - room cleaned, Day 6 room not cleaned a different manager (also with working hands) just turned his back when I advised we were out for a few hours and they could clean the room. Although he did find time to spend hours chatting to his friends outside the hotel.

Overall I will visit the café for a meal again, the lamb was delicious, however give this poor guest house a miss if you enjoy comfort, good service and a clean room. Rather stay at the Capital for a few Rand more down the road, avoid...

I don't normally write my reviews while I'm still enjoying my meal, but I couldn't help it. I love everything about this place. I came last night for happy hour and this morning for a cup of coffee.

The one glass of wine at happy hour turned into a 2+ hour stay and dinner. My cup of coffee turned into breakfast. In both cases, I simply didn't want to leave, so I kept ordering more.

The rooftop terrace is mostly shaded, incredibly comfortable, and beautiful. The service is warm, friendly, and helpful. And the food is delicious! I particularly enjoyed the beef dish (it was too dark for a photo) and the salmon eggs benedict.

I'll...

Posto carino, con ristorante e terrazzo con una bella vista sul quartiere, peccato però che della gestione si salvi solo la reception. Charles è infatti veramente carino e disponibile per tutto, ma il soggiorno non è stato dei migliori: all'arrivo io e mio marito abbiamo trovato il copriletto sporco di quello che sembrava sangue, lo abbiamo comunicato alla reception e ce l'hanno cambiato subito ma ho notato che il problema stava alla base, in quanto in trasparenza anche con il copripiumino pulito si vedeva che ad essere macchiato era anche il piumino (che non ci è stato cambiato). In 5 notti di permanenza non ci sono mai stati cambiati gli asciugamani, senza contare che il secondo giorno ci hanno portato via il tappetino da doccia e non ce ne hanno mai dato uno nuovo. I campioncini di bagnoschiuma sono bastati per una doccia e i giorni successivi se abbiamo voluto lavarci abbiamo dovuto comprare il bagnoschiuma al negozio perché non ce ne hanno mai dato altro. I pavimenti non venivano puliti, si limitavano, riassettando la camera, a rifare il letto e basta. Inoltre avevamo appoggiato sulla scrivania una borsina chiusa con dentro due bottigliette d'acqua vuote (ma che non volevamo buttare) e dopo due o tre giorni le cameriere devono averla aperta per guardarci dentro e deciso di buttarle senza un particolare motivo visto che per il resto non hanno mai fatto niente. Il sabato poi pare che "si riposino", nel senso che non ci hanno nemmeno rifatto la stanza. Inoltre, cosa molto fastidiosa, il ristorante sottostante sul quale dava la nostra camera per la colazione apriva alle 7 durante la settimana e dalle 6 i camerieri facevano un casino tremendo, urlando per salutarsi, accendendo tutte le macchine e preparando la cucina, cosa che puntualmente ci svegliava. Mi spiace molto per Charles e il resto dello staff della reception ma non credo che consiglierei questo posto per una vacanza...

One of the best location and friendly service accommodation that I have ever stayed at. The rooms are quaint with lots of original features of the area. The Charles Hotel is situated in a "village" in the middle of the city, you can't beat the location. Mark and Justine and Stan and all their staff at the very special cafe are just the best and make you feel so welcome with their warm hospitality.

The area was safe; I like the interior of the guest house; the bed was comfortable. The articulation from the entrance of the living place to the bedroom to the bathroom was a good flow - the living space is spacious. The staff was friendly. The wifi was optimum, and the living place was overall clean and simplistic beautifully.
