My wife and I stayed 3 nights in this hotel last April as part of a trip to South Africa. It's a good business hotel with nice decorated room, professional service, comfortable bed / pillows and a good breakfast. It's located in the Malay Quarter in Cape Town. You can get good pictures from this picturesque neighborhood. It's also located... More

We stayed here for a total of 5 nites (1 using points, 2 using cash and points and 2 with cash). Of these, 1 nite was comped because of a major service issue. As per the HHonors program these days, the points for each property now vary according to demand and season and are not fixed unlike other hotel programs.... More

Staff was very helpful and even offered to drive us to the waterfront (no charge) when no taxis were available. Restaurant was pretty good.

I had a good stay and I would have given 4 or 5 stars were it not for the check out experience. They added on charges for several items from the mini bar which I did not use. (I never use the costly in-room food, ever!) Fortunately, I looked over the bill at check out and questioned the charges. The... More

We were told at our arrival at Cape Town airport that our hotel had been taken over by the Hildton Group just a fortnight before we arrived. We were unsure if this was a good thing but we need not have worried as the standard of the hotel was excellent. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough.... More

Rooms were clean & room service was great. After a long day tour when we would come back the rooms used to clean & all the toiletries were re-stocked. Loved the large bathroom with seperate tub. The Breakfast was very good & Staff were friendly. The hotel has a shuttle to & fro for V&A waterfront which runs every 30mins.

The hotel is situated in the historical Malay Quarter (Bo-Kaap). Although the hotel is for anybody who wants to stay in the city centre, it has a Middle-Eastern flavor. Two of the three restaurants are fully Halaal certified, with Muslim prayer areas for males and females. The hotel is within walking distance of the Auwal Mosque, the first mosque in... More
