A lovely hotel with tons of potential.
Pros:

The restaurant was amazing! The rooms were clean. Bed was comfy. Hotel was close to the Waterfront. Bar staff was exceptional.

Cons:

Expected a living room in our unit upstairs but it was a second bedroom with a desk basically. Our room did not have the best of views and there was no dressing table. The shower leaked water out the door and the showers do need an upgrade as tiles and rubber seals were broken. The parking area at the back of the hotel was a complete mess, could be kept tidier. There were a lot of appliance boxes etc. by the oyster tank section - clearly visible in the restaurant - looked a bit untidy there.

Not value for money
Pros:

Access to the sea front and walking area. The room is large and spacious, with a fridge. Very nice croissants and breakfast quality was good, but limited. Safe to walk around.

Cons:

The noisy bar, limited breakfast. Did not get water in the room apart from the 1st night. My colleague did not get milk apart from the first night. The breakfast order was wrong twice. My room, 207, had a noisy bathroom fan

Excellent stay, would highly recommend
Pros:

Lovely room overlooking the park and mountain. The hotel is perfectly located on the beach front in a very safe part of Cape Town, opposite the Mouille Point lighthouse. Lots of people walking along the promenade overlooking the sea. We walked into the Waterfront a couple of times during our stay but you can easily catch a taxi (Unicab - recommended by the hotel) which would take 5 minutes. The hop on hop off bus stop is directly opposite the hotel. The manager at the hotel, John was super friendly and informative.

Cons:

Our room at the back was a little noisy in the early morning. It is directly opposite a golf course and the greenkeepers cut the grass early. Also, staff coming and going in the morning and evening were quite noisy. Also, the building next door has deliveries and that was noisy. I would however stay there again as the location can't be beaten and the views and comfort of the beds were excellent.
