“In my opinion, the conversion of the historic Nedbank Building delivers a sophisticated urban stay. The location near the CTICC is certainly convenient for business, yet the vibe remains stylish, extending to the rooftop pool and bar. The apartment-style accommodations with kitchenettes offer flexibility, while multiple on-site dining options cater to varied tastes.”

I liked the room SPACE. It was great. The location allowed convenient access to both the waterfront and the city center. A short walk got me to either. I also appreciated the breakfast. It had plentiful choices and tasty food.
THE elevator system occasionally experienced slight delays.

The breakfast options were pretty limited. they only gave one room card too? made things so inconvenient. you needed it for the elevator and everything. if my partner and i weren't together, one of us would be stuck. reception just kept saying they were out of cards. It was annoying. i wish they'd fix that.

I was charmed by the super clean studio apartment. it had a fully fitted kitchen. That was a real bonus. the location was amazing, so close to the convention center.
The shower door didn't close properly. drainage in both the shower and sink was very slow. the wall below the window wasn't solid, so outside noise permeated. It was a bit annoying

The room was spacious. It included a sofa and a comfortable chair. The kitchen had all I needed. Breakfast was included. It offered full and delicious options. The location was central.
The welcome at reception seemed a bit aloof. I found the cleaning products used too strong. It seemed they were on all fabrics. I found limited charging points a challenge.
