Note to recommendations:
- A room can host multiple people (either twin room, or bunk-bed setting). Ideal for those travelling together.
- Neighbourgood / Aparthotels: modern, self-catering, often lower prices than normal hotels or guest houses, built for the “digital nomad” lifestyle so it is well equipped with fast internet and ample work spaces. Often offers discounts for > 1 week stays.
- Highly recommend anything from the City Centre to the Atlantic Seaboard (Green Point, Mouille Point, Sea Point, Fresnaye, Bantry Bay, etc.) as it is well connected with the MyCiti bus routes, there are loads to see and do in these areas and they are generally safe and “walkable” neighbourhoods. Staying this side of the city also avoids the traffic on Nelson Mandela Blvd coming to the CTICC in the mornings.
- If there is a group of delegates who are travelling from the same institution, a shared house (eg. Atlantic Cove on Irwinton Road in Sea Point/Fresnaye) is a good cost-effective option.
- Airbnb offers good options as well.
