We enjoyed staying right in the middle of Cape Town and near the city hall where we had tickets for a concert
Pros:

Very central and just what we needed for 4 of us as grandparents with two teenage grandchildren

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Cape Town city centre
Pros:

The room was really good, loved the bed and bedding. You have access to the rooftop restaurant and bar which was absolutely delicious.

Cons:

It was cumbersome to arrive and leave by car but the staff and concierge was very helpful

Pros:

very friendly staff

Cons:

we knew it was downtown but the noise was just to much in the weekend. Maybe our own fault trying CBD on a Saturday.

Beautiful from the outside but very mediocre on the inside
Pros:

The room was large and beautiful, and the bed was so nice and big! Everything was clean, big kettle available which I loved and I enjoyed the rooftop for a bit!

Cons:

There were quite some things that made my stay unpleasant.

- the location is on a square which at night as a woman is very unpleasant. I got called names from men around the hotel during the day and evening. It would’ve been nice if the hotel staff who are outside the hotel waiting for you, might be able to offer some protection or at least a welcoming word.
- the waiting times with breakfast were ridiculously long. After 20 mins someone finally asked what I wanted to drink and then I got my food after about an hour.
- a waiter accidentally dropped my coffee on my pants which can totally happen, but then multiple things went wrong: 1) he didn’t clean up the spilled coffee on the chair and table, 2) he didn’t ask if the hotel could help me with laundry, 3) when someone else did she kindly helped me but then my shorts got lost?? Only after another day they located my shorts when I asked for them again and I had to check-out but then they made me pay for the laundry.

I was so much looking forward to my solo hotel stay, but am so disappointed I spent so much money on this hotel :(
