Beautiful stay - incredible staff
For a first time visiting it was in a great location the reception staff are soo friendly they are top class. The rooms although lovely could do with a revival but our visit was organized and nice none the less. The proximity ( walking to V&A) was perfect

Highly recommend
A great hotel to be based in Cape Town. A 7 minute walk to the V&A waterfront in safety. The room was a good size and bathroom had a large waterfall shower. Only 2 power sockets which generally seems the norm in South Africa. Comfortable bed and house keeping good. Air con not that effective and noisy but we got use to it at night. Staff friendly and breakfast very good with a wide variety of food which is kept stocked up.

Great stay
I enjoyed my stay, the hotel is located at the V&A water front which is ideal for outdoor excursions, eating out and shopping. The rooms are comfy and clean. Sumptuous breakfast buffet.
