Whish we had stayed longer
Pros:

Loved our room . We felt we have our own sanctuary right on the pool. Loved the friendliness of the staff. Love the location, hotel layout , pool and grounds. Breakfast was excellent too.

Cons:

2 issues- 1 my emails regarding the airport transfer were never responded to. We did not get a tour of the hotel. Only by chance did we discover the roof top terrace. It would be nice to have a list of restaurants for UBER EATS. Bed was hard, but we slept well. Don't cook the bread for the sandwich. It was hard as rock.

Pros:

Vi hade en mycket trevlig vistelse på Zest Boutique Hotel i Kapstaden. Perfekt läge, väldigt vänlig personal och allt var rent, snyggt och välskött. Hotellet är litet och gemytligt, och vi uppskattade verkligen poolen och den lilla trädgården. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka!
