The Barracks Serviced Apartments

Immaculate, lovely balcony and lounge area, no bar or restaurant but some nice ones across the street, staff were friendly and even contacted us to say we left a bottle of tequila in the fridge and very good value

The apartments are terrible for two reasons: 1. It is advertised as having air conditioning. This false. Whilst there is a unit in the kitchen area the rooms are NOT air conditioned. The rooms are like saunas and sleeping is impossible. 2. The ventitakuon system in the building makes a loud buzzing sound that you can hear through the apartment which drives you crazy. You therefore can’t sleep with the door open to maybe benefit from the one small air conditioner in the kitchen because you can’t sleep with the noice. Do not book these apartments.

The apartment we stayed in was very clean and had great views. The bedding was crisp and clean. Highly secured.

I had a really great stay at The Barracks. Perfectly suited for business travel — I especially loved having a proper desk setup, which made it easy to work comfortably. The location is extremely central, making it convenient to get around the city and access nearby restaurants and key spots. The apartment itself was super neat, modern, and well-maintained. Everything felt clean and thoughtfully put together. I also appreciated how well-stocked the unit was — the little touches like condiments and essentials really make a difference and add to the overall comfort. Safe and secure parking is another big plus, especially when travelling for work. Overall, a stylish, convenient, and practical stay — I would definitely recommend it, particularly for business travellers or anyone looking for a central, well-equipped base in Cape Town.
