My stay was great, I would do it again if given a chance.
Pros:

Breakfast was great but could have had more variety.

Staff was supper friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Bar, it is located in a place where it kind of unsafe to reach.

I enjoyed the accommodation
Pros:

Closeness to the city centre. Reception ambiance. Clean inside the rooms.

Cons:

Some drain smell in the passage. The pool is very small and congested. I suggest instead of being a pool change it to Jacuzzi. It would be nice.

Good for a short stay
Pros:

Perfect location if you need to be close to City Hall, CTICC. Secure parking is available (extra payment) which makes it so much easier. Our room was clean, comfy bed, and had a nice balcony which was good, my husband is a smoker. The room size is good if you only travel with hand luggage (no cupboard or space for big luggage), and we were surprised how quiet it was - no hustle & bustle from the city
They have a roof top bar, spa and a small pool - lovely for a sundowner and enjoying the view over CT and Table Mountain.

Cons:

The bathroom door is just a sliding door - it's a sight but definitely not a sound protector. If you are in company of your hubby it might be ok but not if you travel with a friend ;) The bathroom has at least a normal sized shower but the rest is so tiny, you don't even have a board for your toiletry. But, for a 1-2 night stay it is ok
Unfortunately the cleanliness of the breakfast area needs improvement. Tables are not cleaned and set up for next guests, buffet is very limited, not worth 150R per person (rather go for a proper breakfast in one of the nearby cafes)

The hotel was convenient and comfortable and affordable, but not in a very safe area.
Pros:

Did not have breakfast

Cons:

The shower water landed on the slope of the bath, making it very precarious.
The room was not as represented in photos
Shampoo made my head itch and my hair feel like straw
