Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We absolutely loved staying at this hotel. My husband and I got married in Cape Town while we stayed here and we loved all the conveniences. It’s in the waterfront district so you can easily walk to all the shops and dining and it’s super safe. We had no problems walking on our own at night and felt completely safe- that was a big deal for us as most places are not like that. Beautiful rooms and great food. We loved our stay here- no complaints at all.

It’s great that this hotel offers family rooms and is super close to the V&A. We have stayed a couple of times now and both times we have been woken very early (about 5am) by other guests or noisy pipes. This is not a quiet hotel

Ageing hotel, not very clean

The hotel was OK. The can definitely put more effort into cleanliness. There were several strands of hair on the countertop from a pervious guest, the bathrooms are mouldy and the laminates/vinyl floors are old and worn and need to be retired. For the price of the hotel, it does not live up to the expectation.
