For R600 per night i have to say I expected more. The place did not smell good and it was in an overall bad state, thin towels, TV did not work, the stove comes out of Noah's ark. The view however is great it is conveniently located. Sorting out the free parking is such an issue!

This is the fourth time that I have stayed at the Gardens Centre. The manageress, Ellen, is very friendly and helpful. The apartments are showing their age a bit but are quite spacious and comfortable. The location, above a small shopping centre not far from the city centre, is excellent and the views from the apartments are spectacular.

The location of the apartment complex is very nice but the facility itself has started to come somewhat dilapidated. The exteriors of the rooms had chipping paint, as did the insides. The carpets weren't clean and overall the place had a very "cheap motel"ish feel to it. However, the staff were very nice and helpful. We ended up cancelling our... More

The rooms are spacious and even though the furniture and design are a little old-fashioned, it is great for a long weekend in Cape Town. The city centre and several sights are within walking distance and you can get a delicious breakfast in the mall before exploring the city. Most room also have great views of the CBD/ Table Mountain.... More
