Odeon Towers 1102

The marketing for this venue was not what you got in return. There is ongoing, as in 24/7 generators going to pump sea water out as a result from higher water/tides from climate change. Thus, a wall is being built to assist with that challenge. As a result, instead of walking over the road to the beach as advertised, there was no way to do so. I have photos and video to provide as proof

No communication was made ahead of the time that there were ‘sea works’ going on. Instead, our payment was non refundable. We found out why the minute we got there. In ‘thanking us for our understanding’, we were ‘gifted’ a bottle of red wine and nougat. We don’t drink any alcohol…..! Also, why would anyone presume to think that a cheap bottle of wine and nougat would make up for the discomfort, the noise, the fact that you can’t open your windows, all due to the generator running 24/7…..? None of the fans nor the airconditioner (portable) worked. So it was noisy and hot. And then there was the awful odour of raw sewage that came into the rooms every time you flushed the toilet and the very damp/mouldy air in the rooms every when the other (2nd bathroom) was used and vice versa. We were even contacted by the hosting agent advising that we must stop smoking as it carried a penalty of R1500 per incident. Thing is, we don’t smoke and I replied as much to the hosting agent. Thereafter there was a strange man hanging out on the 11th floor which was probably the janitor. He would stare at you when you went out or came back and he hung out around our room, pretending to wash the windows, sweeping the floor and just hanging out around the elevators.

It was a mission to get the keys as nobody was available

Great view and facilities good.

Location not great. When you enter the building there is a dagga smell due to the herbal shop at the bottom. Parking bays are not clearly marked with a very small space.

Great Location and the property, rooms and view.

Everything was to our likng

The area is very safe and easily accessible. I will certainly book it again.
