Great Hotel, great location and great staff
The hotel was very clean and exceeded our expectations. We had a last minute late night booking and the staff especially Helena was waiting for us to check in. She was very helpful and made a long night enjoyable. The breakfast in the morning was excellent and the location was amazing.

Great location in a nice upmarket & safe area in Cape Town (behind Table Mountain). Some good restaurants in walking distance around. Great parking. Room was a decent size, however smelt of tobacco smoke. It could do with an upgrade & freshen up. The only USB charger point we found was on the back of the TV (but only charged with the TV on). Could do with a few more points elsewhere in the room, as all other hotels we have stayed in have. The shower (in bath) was a nightmare to use, difficult taps to turn, meaning hot water continued to run until husband's muscle power could turn it off. Not great having extremely hot water running when children using it. Despite negatives, would stay again for location.
