Room was good at the price. Getting in an out was a bit irritating at times, no intercom and you dont want to hoot and distrub guests (which some people did).

Nice old converted house. Good neighbourhood. Check in staff not available when I arrived despite being at a time they were meant to be there. Found a security guard who suggested I call the duty manager who was not on site - security guard let me in to room. Left after a few days while only ever having seen the security guard and occasionally someone on reception, who was not particularly helpful.

Since the door of the balcony was not really closable and the bar was direct in front of my room, it was much to noisy, even late in the night. The standard was good but definitely not luxury

The guest house is great with an old but welcoming feel to the reception. The rooms however, are very modern, spacious and luxurious. My only criticism of the rooms is that the wash basin is in the room instead of inside a conventional bathroom. There is a flat screen TV in the rooms with ample channels for viewing pleasure. The staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I looked at the menu in the guest house restaurant (The Fig Leaf) and was shocked at the high prices for the food on the menu. The menu is also limited and it is important to note that the guest house is strictly Halaal, so if you enjoy a glass of wine or a beer with your meal, this is not the place to dine. Overall, the room was comfortable and my stay was a pleasant one.

Great guest house with friendly staff. Fantastic rooms. Really nice outdoor dining area and great breakfasts, and in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to Florida Road and nice cafes.

Two and a half star hotel masquerading as a four. Rooms are very small, no sound proofing so very noisy, and decor is garish. Restaurant was good until we found out it was staffed by students from the local catering school who are not paid for their efforts!!

I loved the warm hospitality. The decor and setting is amazing. People who work there are super friendly and helpful

St James is not amazing! Room no 7 has a bath tub with a hand shower attachment. Very disappointing. Hate bath tubs! The shower head was ineffective making ablution facilities below expectation. No buffet breakfast as expected. Was a la carte. Good location.

The staff at St James were amazing, especially Sam. We were travelling under difficult circumstances as my Father in Law had passed. Even though they didn't know, they went out of their way to accommodate all our requests. Coming back to the hotel each evening with a wonderful typed note on the pillow and homemade truffles brought a smile to our faces.The food was amazing. Thank you to the chef who made a peppercorn sauce for my son's steak. The only downside of staying here is constantly having to key in codes to access the Wi Fi. Each time you arrive at the hotel it needs to be keyed in and then if not in use for a while, it needs to be re-keyed. We were fortunate enough to see a monkey at breakfast.
