I had a decent stay at Royal Atlantic, with the friendly staff and well-maintained apartments being highlights. However, I found the lack of in-room coffee options and the early 9 AM checkout a bit disappointing. Overall, the experience was good, but some improvements could elevate it further. 😊

I had a wonderful stay at Royal Atlantic, with a smooth reservation process and excellent central location. The apartments were clean, and I appreciated the welcome tea to mingle with others. However, some aspects like the housekeeping and towel quality could use improvement. Overall, it felt like a great home away from home. 🌟🏖️

My stay at Royal Atlantic was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few disappointments. The apartments were spotless and the staff friendly, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms felt a bit dark and I had issues with noise from the service elevator early in the morning. The location was great for exploring Cape Town, but I missed having a coffee shop or dining options on-site.

The lack of a pool due to the city's drought was understandable, but the absence of basic amenities like tea and coffee in the room was a letdown.

I had a pretty good time at the Royal Atlantic in Seapoint. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff were super friendly. However, the facilities felt a bit dated, no restaurant on-site, and the rooms got pretty warm at night, which made it hard to sleep comfortably. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but some updates wouldn't hurt.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms are large and comfortable, with a small kitchenette and lounge area. However, I could hear noise from the streets starting at 7am, which was definitely not a great way to wake up. The lack of air conditioning made it tough to stay cool in the evenings.

There's no on-site restaurant or coffee shop, which was a letdown since we had to go out for meals. But there are plenty of eateries nearby, so it wasn't too much of an inconvenience.

Facilities

The building itself is older but well-maintained, though a bit run-down in some areas. The absence of a pool due to the water crisis is understandable, especially with the nearby beach available.
