    Great hotel! I enjoyed my stay. From the moment I arrived, the receptionist was really kind. The room was beautifully decorated, and the breakfast was fantastic.

All guys/staff at this hotel are very attentive esp. the gentlemen who were on duty on the evening of 09th of July, Mercy who always helped with my milk/African Tea and a gentleman whose name I didn’t get(I asked about baked beans and he happily went to the kitchen & came back with a bowl of beans😂). The rooms are very clean, breakfast excellent, good location near V&A waterfront and service very good -there was noise from a couple that I almost asked for change of room. -Noise from people from the corridor Other than that I loved my stay.

    Brilliant Hotel! - We definitely will be back!!! Great staff....from the doorman, front desk to restaurant staff & cleaners. All are pleasant, helpful & friendly. The room was fantastic - all that was needed for a pleasant stay! Comfortable (massive) bed, very clean & well appointed. We had a good view (sideways to harbour & Table Mountain to the other side). Breakfast was superb! Catering for all, ranging from cereals, pastries, hot vegetables, variety of fresh fruits, great Continental spread & of course full "fry up" usual's! Great 18th floor indoor pool, casual seating area & awesome bar ....all with magnificent vies of Capet Town / harbour & Table Mountain! Amazing gym - very well equipped with all the latest machines (bicycle, treadmills) and then the usual free weights - Unfortunately we didn't have time to train....due to the amazing breakfast & comfortable room!! We payed the small fee (R80 ??) a night for safe undercover , secure parking across the road. Amazing value for money!!! Will be back !! Read less

    I enjoyed my stay here. Chris, Busi and Zaid had top class service provided to us and went a step further in ensuring that we enjoyed the activities suggested by them and helped us with the ones we had selected for the trip... Overall the stay was good. Food was good and service was on point

    Comfortable updated rooms. Fine if you are here on business but a disaster if you are here as a tourist. There are no restaurants or attractions within walking distance and we were advised not to go walking around this area at any time due to crime. We did walk out once and were targeted by credit card scammers posing as security.
