Quarters Review

Comprising four Victorian houses set on fashionable Florida Road, Quarters is a corporate, boutique-style guest lodge whose intersection location is at once convenient and noisy. All rooms are relatively spacious, have queen-size sleigh beds, and are double-glazed to eliminate the constant neighborhood noise, though this is scant protection from the sound of the person above flushing the toilet -- ask for a room on one of the top floors. Bathrooms are big and well designed; specify shower or bathtub. The Brasserie has a small but highly rated menu, attracting locals as well as in-house patrons; alternatively, some 20 restaurants lie within a 5km (3-mile) radius, many within walking distance. The new addition, Quarters on Avondale, farther up Argyle Road, is a more luxurious affair, with executive suites, yet rooms still have the same bland decor and ever-present road noise. Single R1,610, double R2,400.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
