We waited for close to an hour to get in. She was very sweet and obliging but we barely ever saw her after checking in. No help in terms of advice for our stay in Cape Town etc. Very comfortable accommodation though. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### local and 12 Mar 2020 Liked: Staff & service ##### local and Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Newkings Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-New-Kings-Hotel.h64623573.Hotel-Information) > - [African Elite Properties V&A Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-African-Elite-Properties-VA-Waterfront.h20185166.Hotel-Information) > - [ONOMO Hotel Cape Town - Inn on the Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-ONOMO-Hotel-Cape-Town-Inn-On-The-Square.h897161.Hotel-Information) > - [3 On Camps Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-3-On-Camps-Bay.h3808536.Hotel-Information) > - [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Rosmead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Four-Rosmead.h4611654.Hotel-Information) > - [Hippo Pod Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Hippo-Pod-Hotel.h44878267.Hotel-Information) > - [Waterfront Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Village.h889520.Hotel-Information) > - [Peninsula All-Suite Hotel by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Peninsula-All-Suite-Hotel.h22376.Hotel-Information) > - [Canal Quays Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Canal-Quays-Luxury-Apartments.h3554683.Hotel-Information) > - [Pepperclub Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pepperclub-Hotel.h3534309.Hotel-Information) > - [Pullman Cape Town City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pullman-Cape-Town-City-Centre.h17925242.Hotel-Information) > - [Unit Number 414 Cape Royale Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Unit-Number-414-Cape-Royale-Luxury-Apartments.h21082616.Hotel-Information) > - [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > - [Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mount-Nelson.h19437.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hyde All-Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Hyde-All-Suite-Hotel.h3887140.Hotel-Information) > - [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > - [The Capital 15 on Orange Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Capital-15-On-Orange.h68207648.Hotel-Information) > - [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > - [V&A Waterfront Luxury Residences - WHosting](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-VA-Waterfront-Collection-WHosting.h35488839.Hotel-Information) > - [Moondance Villa & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Moondance-Villa.h39815185.Hotel-Information) > - [The Silo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Silo-Hotel.h34757476.Hotel-Information) > - [THE RESERVE](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Neighbourgood-Reserve.h93457579.Hotel-Information) > - [Eden on the Bay Self Catering Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Eden-On-The-Bay-Self-Catering-Accommodation.h16254900.Hotel-Information) > - [Steenberg Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Steenberg-Hotel.h695944.Hotel-Information) > - [Lawhill Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lawhill-Luxury-Apartments.h4280116.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Waters Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Blue-Waters-Studios.h51931488.Hotel-Information) > - [Home Suite Hotels Sea Point](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Home-Suites-Sea-Point.h71040853.Hotel-Information) > - [308 Juliette on the Waterfront Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-308-Juliette-On-The-Waterfront-Marina.h42355854.Hotel-Information) ---
