Staff exceedingly helpful. Was able to secure luggage, until our room was ready for early check in. Minimal cost for early check in. Porters extremely helpful with luggage. Room large, quite and very comfortable. Was able to get late checkout at no additional cost. Staff very helpful with all of our needs. Excellent service at attached restaurant. Breakfast included. Sparkling water and red wine delivered to our room at no charge. Assisted with luggage as well as calling for taxi for departure. Excellent internet.. If ever in Cape Town SA, this will be our first choice for lodging.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 extra nights after our 2 week South Africa tour ended. It was a great location to walk to many meeting points for the tours we organized. The room was on the small side but we managed with one queen bed. The full breakfast (included) had plenty to choose from. All staff were attentive & helpful while assisting with our many questions. We highly recommended this hotel!

The front desk or reception staff were unfriendly and rude. Our room was flooded at 11 pm and we have to pack and move to the other room. On the day we check out we ask if we can do late check out 1 pm. They said no They said 12 pm but I my friend got to check out at 2 pm. The staff did not want to help us with our luggages.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed there for 9 nights and held a conference in one of their conference rooms. Everything was very well done. Location is good. Staff is nice and the rooftop is great. My only complaint being there on business, even holiday for that matter. There is a techno club that plays really loud music 5 of 7 days from open until 6 am or later and it's loud! I found there are noise complaint options online and several different avenues the hotel can and should continue to follow, even legal action. The staff said the city won't do anything. Build a better case, the city will and should support the hotel that brings millions of dollars of revenue to the city each year over a noisy techno club driving away business. I will be traveling back to Cape Town many times, and if it weren't for the noise from that club, it would be my first choice of hotels. I did get placed in a new room with on my second last night facing the ocean which was much quieter.

Comfortable, hotel that is centrally located with a great breakfast. Rooms are a little small for two people but the view is fantastic. Gym, roof top pool, and great staff make it the perfect place to stay while in Cape Town.
