What a find!
Overlooking the V&A Waterfront, with its vast array of shops and restaurants, this inexpensive hotel ticked all the boxes for us. The historical context of the hotel itself, secure parking, excellent breakfast, the quiet, clean and comfortable room overlooking the central quadrangle made our visit to Cape Town a most enjoyable experience. We would be happy to recommend it.

Great location
This hotel has an excellant location, just a minutes walk away from the waterfront. Rooms very clean and comfortable and staff were extremely helpful when we asked for assistance. The only thing I missed on my holiday was a sun lounger when we wanted a break from all the trips we did, however there were some benches in the garden area.
Traveller's tip on nightlife
I found the nightlife on the waterfront a bit mundane, however we hired a local taxi driver to do our trips with and we went to a couple of shabeens at night. Despite being warned not to do this, we found the people in Langa and Nyanga very pleasant and friendly and I found these nights were the most enjoyable. Oh and the drinks in the shabeens were ridiculously cheap, however when you ask for an amurala, you dont get a shot, you get a litre bottle but it really is cheap.
