Excellent. Clean, safe and comfortable.
Pros:

A very clean and comfortable hotel just 20 minutes from Cape Town International Airport, perfect to not be caught up in the hustle and bustle of Cape Town City itself. Hotel has been magnificently refurbished, feels extremely safe and is conveniently located near to a safe shopping centre and the N2 for easy access to Cape Town and surrounds.

Cons:

Not applicable.

Very comfortable, apart from the issues with the sound insulation.
Pros:

The location, opposite the Waterstone shopping centre, was very good.

Cons:

The sound insulation of my room was very bad, and I could hear the people in the next room (coughing, talking, etc, even though I could tell that they weren't being loud). It's a pity, because everything else about the hotel was good, but I found this really annoying and it spoiled my stay a bit.

Great stay
Pros:

Giving a 10/10 exclusively based
On staff. We got married in a nearby location and they went out of their way to help us with everything wedding. From gowns to setting up the room on the day. They did prevent some people from coming in on the day which in hindsight makes all the sense and we grateful.

Very clean, rooms are big.

Cons:

Not really a negative but it can do with a little bit of upgrading with furniture etc. But it really doesn’t away from the place.
