I had a mixed experience at The Model House. While the location was convenient for shopping and travel, I encountered issues with the room's amenities and overall atmosphere. Cleanliness was commendable, but several facilities, like the air conditioning and pool access, left much to be desired.

Rooms

My Double Room had mattresses in poor condition, and the overall room could use significant updates. The soundproofing was lacking, allowing noise from other guests to interrupt my stay.

Service

The service was okay, but I felt the owner's constant monitoring created a rather uncomfortable and invasive atmosphere. It significantly affected my enjoyment of the stay.

The location near shopping malls and the main road to Cape Town was convenient. but the overall experience left much to be desired. The cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms significantly impacted my stay, and security concerns arose with parking arrangements. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this accommodation.

Rooms

5.0

The cleanliness of the room was lacking. I noticed dirt under the bed, and my socks were dirty after just an hour on the carpet. The mattress, pillows, and curtains were all in disrepair, contributing to a less than comfortable stay.

Service

While the hosts were friendly, their level of oversight felt intrusive, as I often felt monitored. This made it difficult to fully relax during my stay.

Location

The proximity to shopping malls and the main road was a positive aspect, making it easy to get around Cape Town. but this alone does not compensate for the other issues faced during my stay.

Dining

I had mixed feelings about the dining options. while the plan was to enjoy the communal braai area near the pool, this space was marked as private, which was disappointing.

Facilities

The facilities could use improvement, especially regarding safety. I had to park my car outside without shelter, which raised concerns about security.

I had a mixed experience while staying at The Model House. The location was fantastic, close to shopping malls and the main road to Cape Town, which made exploring very convenient. However, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, with dirty carpets and towels that weren’t changed during my entire stay. While the hosts were friendly and hospitable, the lack of attention to housekeeping really affected my overall comfort.
