The staff was very friendly and good value for money
Pros:

It was centrally located in the Cape Town CBD.
Facility was clean.
When we checked in the room assigned to us was still in use…. However they asked us humbly to afford them a few minutes to sort out and seated us in the bar area and we could choose anything to drink from the menu on the house.

Cons:

The parking was a bit awkward

Will not go back !!
Pros:

Very central location

Cons:

Room was smelly and suffocating.
While in the room, one can clearly feel and hear lift going up and down, it is a bit disturbing.
Passage going down to parking is so narrow that you almost scratch the sides of car.
Location of hotel is central, but you can see vagrants going around all the time near property.

No Signal till timeout
Pros:

I love the fact that it is central its easily accessible and you can go to landmarks easily,camps bay waterfront,sea point easily, the area is good.

Cons:

The hotel had terrible signal the whole 2days i was there ,the Wifi not stable at all kept on getting missed calls, I was in the 6th floor but struggling with network,the staff had an excuse about their technical team working on the issuethe whole 2days couldn't watch TV or connect to Netflix which is common to any establishment these days,I mean its pure basics
Also towels needs to be changed those are old ,they lost their comfort, they've seen better days ,please donate them to charity they are not in the standard of a 4 star hotel at all.

Bad. Won't be seeing us again.
Pros:

Restaurant staff was friendly

Cons:

Room was far below par for a 4 star establishment. 2 windows with a flaking picture of Table Mountain stuck to it to obsure the dark, smelly and dirty alley outside. Wash basin dirty and cracked. No plugs by the bed. No a/c. No safe and NO HOT WATER!!
