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

Close to waterfront. Room was very good (harbour suite). Had issues with thermostat that they couldn’t fix while I was there (first it would not warm room at all, then after”fixing it it would con’t warming regardless of room temperature and had to be switched off in middle of night as it got to almost 30 degrees!)

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.

Horrible new trend in bathroom design
There is a new trend in hotel design worldwide which this hotel follows and it needs to stop.
Not having proper walls and doors in bathrooms within the room. There is no privacy since the walls are now made of cristal so all the bedroom is illuminated by the bathroom, and the doors don't shot so noise and smell flow into the bedroom effortlessly.
There is no way of going into the bathroom and not waking up other people in the room. It's a nightmare when traveling with friends and work colleagues!
This room even had the shower separated from the wc, so you have to light boxes in the room!
