### Hotel Sky Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Sky Cape Town was an entire vibe from the moment I walked through the doors. The décor is stunning, thoughtfully designed from the entrance all the way up to the rooms, giving the whole place a modern, vibrant feel. Breakfast was absolutely top-tier: fresh, flavorful, and with plenty of options to start the day right. The staff were warm, hospitable, and consistently friendly, which really added to the overall experience. The location is also a major win, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to get around, explore, and enjoy Cape Town without any hassle. My room was comfortable, especially the bed and pillows, and if you’re lucky enough to snag a room facing the skyline, the sunrise and sunset views are truly spectacular, like watching the city put on a show right from your bed. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was pretty weak throughout the building and made staying connected a bit frustrating. Other than that, it was a great stay. Overall: 8/10 highly recommend, especially for the views and the vibe."
