Wir waren 4 Tage in Kapstadt und würden das mit diesem Hotel jederzeit wiederholen.
Pros:

Top Lage mitten in der Innenstadt, CBD, sehr sicher, Wachpersonal vor und im Eingangsbereich des Hotels.
Frühstücksbuffet hervorragend, absolut internationaler Standard.
Zimmer sehr groß, Aircondition individuell einstellbar, toll.

Cons:

Im Bad sehr großer Spiegel - aber mit sehr großem Abstand zur Person, Rasieren etc war schwierig
Im Bad große Regenwalddusche an der Decke - so kann man kein Wasser sparen weil es viel zu lange dauert bis das Wasser da ist wo man es gerne hätte. Zusätzliche Handdusche wäre viel sinnvoller - und man wird überall aufgefordert Wasser zu sparen.....
