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.

Hotel is in central district. Quite accessible to all the attractions. Clean and spacious rooms. Nice gym and pool. Good breakfast. Nice bar attached to the restaurant. Helpful staff and pretty much all of them Speak English. Would not hesitate to visit again.

I have nothing but a positive experience staying at this property and hotel. There is so much to do at the hotel alone before venturing out in Capetown and surrounding areas of interest. We will definitely book this hotel again. We had 8 nights continuous stay, went away to Joburg for a week and came back to finish our stay for a further 2 nights before returning home to England.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel - the staff are all super helpful - special shout out goes to Maurice - head of concierge. Really on the ball and knows what’s going on. Breakfast is especially good - everything super fresh and an excellent variety. Our room was of a good size and was extremely clean. Plates, knives and forks/ glasses and a decent sized fridge to keep drinks and wine cool should you want to - particularly good if you decide to get take out like we did on our last night. The pool although small on the top floor is a nice place to chill out with a drink and with great views over the Docks. The hotel is not located close to anything within walking distance and so you are required to get an Uber everywhere. Not an issue though as they are extremely cheap! A fantastic stay and would definitely return! Read less
