The entrance foyer/ reception area is well appointed as are the rooms, the latter being very basic but neat and comfortable. It falls apart when you consider the breakfast serving area, eating area and general lack of service - breakfast commences at 06h30 if I recall correctly and we went down at 08h00.

The entrance foyer/ reception area is well appointed as are the rooms, the latter being very basic but neat and comfortable. It falls apart when you consider the breakfast serving area, eating area and general lack of service - breakfast commences at 06h30 if I recall correctly and we went down at 08h00. Firstly the "empty" tables are stacked with plates (from other tables as well) with no one taking notice or even attempting to clean up - it is left up to you to start clearing plates etc. to another table (as people before having obviously done) in order to make place. Cutlery is another mystery as these are all on the now "stockpiled" tables. A chat to the check in person has no effect on matters as they seem indifferent. Really, a dismal breakfast affair when the hotel has so much going for it! Read less

Really disappointed. When enquiring as to why our room has not been made up by 3pm on a Sunday evening, management told us that preference is given to rooms of new guests checking in. We stayed 3 evenings for the CT marathon. Poor service guys, we expected a lot more!

Loved our stay here. So close to everything, short walk to hop on hop off bus office, which is a must do. A short/cheap taxi ride to V&A Waterfront, another must do. Staff were very helpful especially concierge who helped get us a driver for a day tour to Cape Point etc. Breakfast was good every morning and rooms great, we had a lovely view of… Read more

Great location for city centre wandering. Very clean and modern hotel. The room was good. Parking wasn't expensive and was very convenient. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good. Sky bar in their sister hotel next door was great for evening views and a drink.
