I found the hotel to be conveniently located for exploring Cape Town with easy access to the V & A Waterfront, Seapoint, and the City center. The rooms were clean, albeit on the small side with limited cupboard space. The service was outstanding, with staff always ready to assist and going above and beyond to cater to my needs. The dining options were varied and delicious, making my stay enjoyable. However, due to high demand, requested shuttle service was not always available. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on Buitengracht road with easy access to V&A Waterfront, Seapoint, and the City center. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for my family. The service went above and beyond my expectations, from the food to the staff. However, it can get quite full during the holiday season. The dining experience was delightful, and the staff were cheerful and polite. A fantastic value for money overall.

The hotel had friendly and efficient staff who made me feel welcome, despite the smallish rooms with limited cupboard space. The location was excellent for Cape Town activities and the Waterfront, with great shuttle services. The dining experience offered a lovely variety of choices, especially the freshly cooked omelettes on Sundays.
