    would stay here again

    Had a cozy stay in a Deluxe King Room. The room had air conditioning, a shower, and a minibar. Loved the fitness center and the outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers. Free toiletries were a nice touch, and the hairdryer came in handy. Great amenities make for a comfortable getaway.

    view of table mountain
    delicious breakfast

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    I stayed 2 nights in a Family Room with Bathroom and loved the amazing view of Table Mountain. The location was a dream, allowing us to safely stroll the streets and access attractions with ease. Breakfast was a highlight with delicious pastries and a selection of hot dishes that catered to different tastes!

    Positive, The location is fantastic, just a short walk to major attractions. I got a room with a view of Table Mountain, which was fine. Breakfast was a highlight with a large selection. The front desk staff was super understanding, especially Nolan, who helped me with check-in issues.

    elevator delays
    poor service

    after almost considering a good review, I simply couldn’t. the elevator takes ages, it's like waiting for a miracle. also, I had to wait 2 hours just to receive sugar and milk? absolutely ridiculous for a 'luxury' hotel. some people seemed to be treated better than others, but I guess I just wasn't special enough.

    friendly staff
    small bedding
    poor amenities

    The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately, my experience wasn't very pleasant. The bedding was too small for the bed, which made sleep uncomfortable. Additionally, the bathroom amenities felt underwhelming and inconsistent with four-star expectations. Lastly, the parking garage was quite challenging to navigate, which added to my frustrations.

    great breakfast buffet
    dated bathroom

    The breakfast buffet was impressive, featuring a variety of fresh fruits and eggs cooked to order, making it a delightful way to start the day.

    The bathroom could use an update. while clean, it felt a bit dated, with limited modern fixtures and amenities.

    wi-fi access

    This place was just an excellent fit for a quick break in Cape Town with exceptional value. The staff was friendly, and I didn’t have any issues connecting to Wi-Fi, which was a bonus. For a better experience, check out local eateries nearby rather than relying on hotel meals.

    Comfortable Stay with Great Access to Attractions

    I enjoyed a comfortable four-night stay with easy access to restaurants and vibrant local culture. The breakfast selection was both delicious and diverse, featuring fresh fruits and made-to-order omelets. For a fun day, I recommend a 15-20 minute walk to the waterfront. it's both scenic and bustling.

    fantastic location
    impressive breakfast buffet
    helpful staff
    slow elevator
    clean room

    Enjoyed our stay in the Superior Twin Room for 4 nights! The location was fantastic, just a 15-20 minute walk to the vibrant V&A Waterfront area, and a quick stroll to the Bo Kaap neighborhood. The breakfast buffet was impressive, offering a variety of fresh fruits and eggs cooked to order. Clean room, great amenities, and helpful staff made our experience even better.

    Some elevators were slow.
