From the moment we arrived we were looked after to a high standard. Rooms were clean and comfortable beds. Fabulous breakfast each morning and a lovely bar to relax in at the end of a day touring. Great location for all the restaurants and bars nearby. Would definitely recommend booking here and would love to come back one day.

Abigail, a beautiful lady at the front desk checked us in. She was polite and sweet and patient with my endless questions. And a lovely gentleman escorted us to our room as well. John and Clayton at the bar were so kind and efficent. They were a a breath of fresh air.Not to mention, the lovely manager at the restaurant as well. Forgive me for not remembering her name. Oswell was so kind enough to help me navigate an uber . Can't wait to be back. You guys rock Room is spacious and the bathroom as well. Read less

The hotel is beautiful and located fantastically for the V&A waterfront. It is tucked away, just up from the waterfront so broadly speaking it is quiet and secluded (although unfortunately there was building works adjacent which were very loud).

The hotel is beautiful and located fantastically for the V&A waterfront. It is tucked away, just up from the waterfront so broadly speaking it is quiet and secluded (although unfortunately there was building works adjacent which were very loud). Staff were friendly, and helpful in particular the concierge who was fantastic. The rooms are large, spacious and well-equipped. In particular the bathroom was beautiful with a fantastic bath. The bar is well-stocked and like most places in South Africa, very well-priced. Breakfast was fantastic, and as part of your stay you can dine in their sister hotel on the Waterfront (we can highly recommend this). Overall a fantastic stay, and we would definitely stay again, or in the sister hotel if returning to Cape Town. Read less

Perfect in every way. Great position a couple of minutes away from V & A Waterfront with its many restaurants and shops. Also close to hop on hop off bus. Our room was luxurious and had a great view of Table Mountain. Thanks to all the staff who were superb - at reception and in the restaurant and bar. Were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived with hot towel and delicious drink. A plate of sweet treats awaited us in our room and a chocolate every night. Needless to say breakfast was delicious with an extensive buffet and choice of hot food cooked to order. Free parking available. Read less
