"Overall, everything was satisfactory, I'd give it a 4/5. There was parking available, and a pool of sorts – even though the water was ice cold, it was good for a refreshing dip. The only thing that bothered me was having to pay 100 R for a towel upon checkout, which we didn't even really use. If we had known it was chargeable, we wouldn't have taken it at all, and honestly, 500 rubles to rent a towel seems quite steep to me. The room was clean and spacious enough for us, and the bed was comfortable. The soundproofing wasn't great; we were worried about hearing evening gatherings from the communal kitchen, but somehow everyone dispersed at a certain time and it was quiet. And you could say there's no breakfast. But for a couple of nights, it's a decent place to stay."

It is located within walking distance from the bus stop and taxi rank. nearby and also within walking distance of the city center, Main Street, observation decks with stunning views and the beach (but the water is terribly cold and you will not be able to swim in any of the beaches in Plettenberg Bay). I was met by a pdministrator named Debbie. She is very friendly and smiling, tried to help in everything (even in things that are not part of her duties). The reception has all the information about the attractions nearby, local taxi numbers (bolt taxi does not work in Plettenberg bay), information about restaurants and their menus, and you can book excursions. the room itself was very clean, including the toilet was in perfect condition. there is a TV and everything that is stated in the ad. on the downside, I spent only one night at the location, but the electricity was turned off twice (both times in the evening) (but there was no light on the entire street, or maybe in the entire city, so it's not the fault of the accommodation). Plettenberg Bay itself is amazing (and safe even after sunset)"

I didn't like that the room didn't have a bathroom. The bathroom is to be shared. For a little extra, you can have a bathroom and better location at 82 on Regent. Motown is okay if you enjoy sharing bathrooms with strangers. Due to the concerts at the time in Cape Town, most places were sold out which is how we landed up at Motown.
