I have been using the Ideas Cartel for co-working for the last 2 years and we love it. The decor is inspiring and the staff are very helpful and accommodating. A special shout out to Emily for making me feel at home.

It is also very close to a lot of cafes, grocery shops and pretty much anything you need to run an errand during your lunch break.

Only downside is parking can be tricky in the morning.

So many things appear not thought through when this hotel was planned and built. Design is nice but so many little things just don’t make sense or are unpractical. I won’t stay again.

It's a really nice place for a meeting or to work. It has all the plug points etc needed. The only issue is parking. Its very limited. Parking is also charged for at between R20-R30 per hour.
