Loved this hotel!
The location of this hotel was amazing. Quick backstreet walk to all the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed massages, working out at the gym and day trips to see this beautiful area. There are many choices of restaurants nearby. The staff was so friendly and we loved the service at this hotel!!

Great location!
This hotel is in a fantastic hotel for tourists, right on the V&A waterfront. Staff are very attentive. The hotel is clean and comfortable, with nicely themed decor. Rooms are a little bit old fashioned, but are comfortable nonetheless. My room had a great view of the waterfront. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this hotel again the next time I visit Cape Town!
