    Shower door leaked slightly and tree on the balcony slightly blocked table mountain view. Some minor works going on one morning. These however didn't spoil our stay and we'd definitely stay here again!

    Amazing hotel, the staff were so friendly and welcoming - Oswell and Christian in particular. Breakfast was a la carte and very tasty. Room was huge and immaculately clean, bed very comfy.

    The room and everything about it was exceptional. But, the bathroom wasn’t at the same level. The shower had mould at the bottom and the water pressure was so bad. It was such a shame, you couldn’t fault anything and to have such a let down bathroom.

    Location is perfect and the staff are very attentive.

    We liked everything.

    Great location within metres of the V&A Waterfront, closes to numerous bars, restaurants and shops. All staff are very helpful, friendly and willing to help with anything. Hotel has a nice relaxed atmosphere and it’s quiet even though the busy city is on the doorstep. Breakfast at the hotel was very nice, plenty of choice and very good service. There is a nice bar area, where you can relax after a busy day. Room was a great size, extremely clean, bottles of water replenished every day, large bathroom with quality bathroom products. There is parking at the hotel which was very useful. Would recommend a stay at this hotel if you are visiting Cape Town.

    We loved everything about this hotel. As other reviews have said this hotel is really comfortable & stylish, in a great location, very near the waterfront amenities but a bit quieter than other hotels with use of the lovely private pool & garden area. In addition the staff were all truly exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them from booking taxis, giving directions to arranging off menu items.

    Only problem is the taxi drivers for each of us coming from the airport got lost finding it. Maybe being purposeful in sending out some directions, and helpful hints to assure a smooth arrival

    We loved the property! The staff went out of their way to help. ALWAYS on top of things. The location was perfect close to everything but quiet and a bit exclusive. Breakfast was also fantastic.

    They have made a significant change to the dinner menu. It was not to our taste. The guy in charge was great and got us something from the room service menu.

    Lovely room with great views of Cape Town. Staff are excellent they balance professionalism with a friendly manner. Excellent breakfast.

    Situated on the waterfront within easy reach of the Mall, Time Out Market and the City Bus terminal the hotel was perfect for tourists as a base. It also benefited from a garden oasis with pool - a tranquil escape from the busy city. Staff were exceptional, patient, friendly and kind. Special mention to Clayton, Nkosi and Lulu

    If there was anything I might change it would be the restaurant dinner menu. The only option seemed to be a 7 course meal, or bar food. Something in between would have been appreciated. The free breakfast was very good!

    Facilities were exceptionally clean and in great repair. Nothing in the room was dirty, broken, or worn. Amenities were thoughtful and well presented. The highlight was the friendly, helpful and professional staff!
