Never seen a hotel go the extra mile in the same way. Could actually never have imagined a hotel could have this level of service.

Also loved the 24/7 jacuzzi and the friendliness of everyone. ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Charming boutique hotel in a wonderful Cape Town neighborhood, the Gardens.

The room isnt large, but well appointed. Staff is superb. Great restaurants nearby and we also we walked the 30 min. downtown( we are 72) took Uber everywhere else. Breakfast is fabulous and the little touches of having cake or cookies around in the afternoon was an added bonus. There are steps to all the rooms that I could see so if this is a problem, check. Otherwise, this is the place to stay. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 15 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay Great stay, felt welcomed from the second we arrived.
