The Taj is the best hotel in all of Cape Town. Perhaps I would put it next to the One and Only, but for a hotel that is half the price, I think that is amazing. Where to start?? The hotel is clean, the staff are all very very kind and professional, the included breakfast is amazing (multiple courses), the building is beautiful, you get all of the amenities that you desire, the food in the inhouse restaurant is delectable and fresh every. single. time. It is mind boggling how perfect this place is. They even have technicians on call in case something like the toilet or AC breaks. There is no making this stuff up -- they have thought of everything. I actually do not have a single thing to complain about because they always fix the problems before they get annoying, and they are quick! I suppose that the only thing that I am not sure about is the inhouse laundry service. It is very expensive, and there is no way to get things simply washed and ironed on a whim like everything else (perhaps they have spoiled me!). One thing that I would like to suggest they add is a car wash addon. I brought my Rover in and they parked it, but I just came from the mountains and Karoo.. my vehicle was messy, and I would have loved to get it spiffed up a bit.
I wanted this to work. I really did. I am on a road trip and passing through Cape Town. I needed my clothes washed and ironed, but I guess that was too much to ask. They were washed but returned with an odd smell. It must be the soap that was used, so I will not dock points for that mistake, however, they did not wash the actual clothes bags in which the dirty clothes were, they did not iron them properly at all, and there was a long black athletic sock missing when it was all returned. There was a second sock that was not even washed because it was left in the dirty clothes bag in which the clothes were... this was very disappointing I must say. Like I said, I wanted this to work. A laundry service that picks up your stuff and returns it the next day sounds insane and amazing to me, but the execution was very flawed. I cannot give more than 1 star at the moment since the job was incomplete, poorly done, and I received less than what I sent in. My fears were realised.
I couldnt be covered for OpenWeb's uncapped, but they were eventually able to get be a good deal on capped at full speeds, and I have loved it. I rarely use more than maybe 400GB a month, so their half 1TB plan is perfect for me. Thanks to Zelda for recommending me a plan and to Dane for helping me to get my APN changed. To start, the signup is long but no longer than what's normal for big ISPs. They take care of RICA and all that for you, so in a way, I think that I saved time since setting up payment and RICAing the Sim took next to no time.
