I liked my large room that had an unexpectedly beautiful view of Table Mountain. I adored, Sharon, at the front desk. She helped me enormously.

Nice place in a great location. A couple of caveats - the hotel's description states that standard rooms have a balcony. Okay, but it's only about 9 inches wide. Perhaps enough for a smoker standing sideways, but not what one a expects for a balcony. Also, the description on Hotels.com states that they have 3 restaurants and 5 bars. Not so, although there are restaurants on each side of the property.

Great staff, super informative and helpful. Lovely hotel with clean and stylish rooms. Located in a fun area which meant it was quite noisy at night. The light switches need a rethink. Even the guy working there had trouble figuring them out. Would certainly stay here again.

The reception staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a nice location, near a small shopping centre and restaurants. We appreciated the large bathroom and kitchenette with a microwave.

Great location on Kloof Street with variety of dining options. Walking distance to downtown, Long Street, museums and Company's Garden. Waterfront and Table Mountain Cable car is short Uber drive away. Fat Cactus bar (below hotel) is great place for a evening drink upon coming back from the tours. Would highly recommend.

The room smelt like cigarettes and was not that clean. The bath was massive and took forever to get to a depth to bath and there is water restrictions on Cape Town so was not great.

The people were wonderful and were so accommodating.
Didn't know there would be so many stairs in front. Hard to carry suitcases. Unique rooms

Amazing. We came for the test match & it was reasonable to get to Newlands with Bolt. Hotel in safe area. We walked at night no problem. Jerry's for breakfast was lovely. We never exceeded the ZAR100 pp. Good to pop in for a night cap as the staff there were exceptional. We had 8 very comfortable nights and would not hesitate to return. We booked a front room as on a budget and were never disturbed by noise.

It was a very nice experience. The bedding was super clean and comfortable. The rooms are spacious. I appreciated the stocked mini bar. The staff are very nice and helpful. They helped me with airport transfer service 4 times. The driver, Mervyn, deserves mentioning, too! The location is fantastic. I would definitely stay here again.

We were pleased by the reception, both efficient and helpful. The room itself was lovely... a great take on how to modernize decor. It was quiet (we were at the back) and in a great location.It was a great choice for the final night of our trip.
