Guest Ratings & Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel; the rooms were better than expected, though a bit noisy due to the street activity. The hotel is huge by Cape Town standards, with modern finishes and all necessary amenities. The location was convenient for exploring the city, great for Uber pickups, but not ideal for solo women travelers. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was amazing, offering delicious meals with reasonable prices. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
