Very central located to the inner city, walking distance. Excellent service - friendly and very helpful and efficient. Beautiful lobby. Bathrooms a bit outdated but never- the- less very clean. Breakfast a feast with piano music - impressive. Thanks

A client booked this hotel for us and it would not normally have been the kind of place I stay (would have preferred waterfront/beach). The hotel is in the heart of the busy business district but with good access to the local bars and restaurants and only a 25 minute or so walk to the lovely V&A waterfront. Staff we... More

Warm welcome from the staff's with the warm and cold welcome drink. Staff's are looking for all opportunity to impress the guest. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Perfect location for many restaurants and side seen. Five star service from the staff's makes a big different.

Stayed here for a weekend, and the staff were fantastic - assisted us with all of our requests with a smile. Location is right in the middle of the CBD so getting around via taxi is really convenient and affordable. Also, if the weather is pleasant enough be sure to grab a complimentary bicycle and see town from another perspective.... More

first stayed here in August 2012. whilst I enjoyed the whole stay, I must say though that the temperature in the bar could have been tweaked up a bit. stayed again in April this year and luckily the weather was better, so no complaints about the temperature. the view on the 18th floor facing Table Mountain is awesome.
