Greenmarket Place Apartments

Location is ok but no Air conditioning and you cant leave windows open as no security screen very stuffy rooms and the street noise from the market stalls setting up early every day is horrible. The furniture is dated but ok.

Greenmarket Square is slap bang in the centre of Cape Town and offers a perfect location. The apartment is modern & in good condition. It is self-catering - in every respect. Check-in is miles away in Sea Point where you pay up-front plus a hefty breakage deposit. Where you arrive, there is no-one except a security person at reception. No porter. There is no tea or coffee provided and the only bathroom supplies comprise a small piece of soap. Ventilation is poor. If you open the sliding door on to the square it is fine, but the proximity of the neighbour's landing means it is a security risk to leave it open at night. The only other window is a small one that opens on to the corridor from the bedroom at eye-level. Not likely to be left open either. The tiny pool is clean but on the roof of the building surrounded by air-conditioners and the worst side of the neighbouring building. Some of the pool deck boards have come loose and are a danger to tripping. Then there is the noise. The street vendors make a racket at night when they pack up at night, followed by the clubs that thump out their music until the early hours and then the traders return shortly after six to set up again. One night was more than enough. When our airport pick-up arrived and asked for us at reception, the gent on duty had no idea who we were or in which apartment we were in - just just the kind fellow who rang our doorbell at 11 pm just after we had fallen asleep the night before.

it is a good accommodation near long street with nice view to table mountain but its not suitable for 3 person as we thought that they will afford three beds but we actually find a single bed and 2 coaches instead of 3 bed as the advertise on there web

Vi var fantastisk glad for vores ophold, portnerne var super søde og hjælpsomme. Vi var der i 16 dage. Rengøring, skift af håndklæder m.m er selvbetjening, men de er super søde og flexible på kontaktstedet. Der er dog kun en dobbeltseng og 2 sovesofaer. sengen er ok, men sovesofaen er elendig, så jeg anbefaler at man kun bor 2 personer. Servise og køkkenredskaber er begrænset.

We booked this place one night earlier and did not realize that this is not a hotel but an apartment. The instructions had been sent via email but we did not have internet at that time so we missed instructions. In the lobby there is only a security man who controls access and he did not know anything about this rental apartement in the building. It was quite a mess to reach the right contact person to bring us the keys. The apartment on the other hand was very convenient and located in the centernmost place in the whole town. So if you are looking an easy place in the downtown, this is quite a good place. Just remember to bring your own showergels etc. as this is still not a hotel.

SUVERÄNT INNERSTADSLÄGE, men ingen sömn efter 05:50 då marknadsstånden monteras ihop och kärrorna med marknadsvaror dras över marknadsplatsens kullerstenar. Det är inte ett hotell i vanlig mening men en bra lägenhet - ingen reception (men säkerhetsvakt 24 timmar om dygnet) och man förväntas resa till förort för att hämta nyckel (2 ggr 3,5 km). Solig balkong mot stans bästa marknad, suveränt gratis gym uppe i huset och minipool på taket med utsikt över Taffelberget. Bra restauranger inom 200 meters avstånd + 1 kvarter från Cape Town Tourisms suveräna informations- och bokningsställe med bar, café och hållplats för rundtursbussarna. Ta med öronproppar för morgonsömnen, så blir det toppen. Ingen städning under vistelsetiden - bara före och efter. Ej Internet, ej AC men Internetcaféer nära + på Turistcentret.

Mycket bra läge, men väldigt lyhört. Poolen var väldigt liten, och inga solstolar eller andra möbler vid poolen.

Had to drive out to collect the keys, but the management service was very professional in explaining the details with skillful use of Google Earth! The location is excellent, right in the midst of a bustling tourist area, Long St, frequented by tourists and locals alike. Security is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Although I was not impressed by the rooftop pool, the location and magnificent view of the square and Table Mountain more than made up for it.
