Pros:

Petit déjeuner délicieux, chambre très belles, lits super confortables

Bis auf die Holzböden eine sehr stylische Unterkunft in guter Lage
Pros:

Das B&B ist historisch alt. Das hat was. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist top modernisiert. Das Frühstück wird individuell zubereitet ist ist vorzüglich.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss. Das hat Nachteile. Weil die uralten Holzböden jede Bewegung aus dem ersten Stock lautstark übertragen. Nachts ist das grenzwertig.

Pros:

A great location to wander the streets and explore Cape Town or the V&A Waterfront.
Breakfast at the hotel was flexible and tasty with several options.

Cons:

I think the rooms could be modernized a bit more and offer more comfort. I also think the outdoor furniture could have been more comfortable and provided better shading from the sun's heat.

comfortable historic hotel in green point area
Pros:

The breakfast was included and 'made to order' (not a buffet) .. it was well done and more than ample portions. The staff were friendly and helpful. Although there is not 24 hour desk service, a staff person came in very early on day my day of departure (I had a very early departure for an early flight) and was able to assist with baggage. They also delivered a prepared in room breakfast for me on departure day, since I had to leave before the breakfast kitchen opened. Thank You!

Cons:

I asked for arrangements for an early morning taxi to the airport the day before I left .. I was quoted one price, but it more than doubled before the end of the day! I ended up requesting Uber (about 1/4 the hotel quoted cost) instead of using the taxi recommended by the hotel.
