Great facility, friendly staff and delicious food. We were able to catch the hop on hop off bus just around the corner and access lots of sights that way. The hotel offers a shuttle service to Nelson Mandela Square, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommended this stay.

We certainly enjoyed this hotel’s location to nearby restaurants & shops. An added bonus was a free mall shuttle service. Our room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the lush courtyard setting. Downsides: no early check in availability (especially for guests that have travelled more than 36 hours); no free coffee in the lobby; no free breakfast (especially for other guests in our group that paid for a premium suite).
