The hotel itself is wonderful, we loved our spacious room and the staff was incredible, always ready to help and make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property is in a very popular area, lots of night life, if you are early to bed, we recommend requesting a room away from the front of the hotel, which can be noisy. Great breakfast offered in a three different restaurants very close, plus an amazing amount of good restaurants in general. We highly recommend the property. ##### Erica Stayed 16 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boris 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location on Kloof Street with variety of dining options. Walking distance to downtown, Long Street, museums and Company's Garden. Waterfront and Table Mountain Cable car is short Uber drive away. Fat Cactus bar (below hotel) is great place for a evening drink upon coming back from the tours. Would highly recommend. ##### Boris Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 15 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked my large room that had an unexpectedly beautiful view of Table Mountain.

Lovely hotel with clean and stylish rooms. Located in a fun area which meant it was quite noisy at night. The light switches need a rethink. Even the guy working there had trouble figuring them out. Would certainly stay here again. ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jorge 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Limited services ##### Jorge Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J Scott 22 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place, but some false descriptions Nice place in a great location. A couple of caveats - the hotel's description states that standard rooms have a balcony. Okay, but it's only about 9 inches wide. Perhaps enough for a smoker standing sideways, but not what one a expects for a balcony. Also, the description on Hotels.com states that they have 3 restaurants and 5 bars. Not so, although there are restaurants on each side of the property. ##### J Scott Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanna 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tolle Unterkunft in cooler Gegend, viele Restaurants liegen fußläufig um das Hotel verteilt und die Gegend ist prinzipiell ziemlich sicher ##### Hanna Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARCOS 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente em todos os sentidos Hotel excelente.
