Yes! Yes! YES!!!
Pros:

The property is spotlessly clean, INCREDIBLY welcoming and all the staff were FANTASTIC, especially Kayle and Lethokuhle on the front desk who were OUTSTANDING!

Room was clean and really comfortable. Complimentary water, and the usual tea coffee making facilities. Great views from pretty much any room as you get Table Mountain one side and down to the sea the other.

Breakfast, was again, great quality food, genuine and warm service, with a great choice of fruit, yogurts, pastries, juices and cooked breakfast.

I also ate in the coffee shop a few times too - great value vs European prices and quality of food and service was again excellent.

A genuine and heartfelt thumbs up on this property and I would 110% stay here again for the warmth of welcome alone, and the fact that the hotel is as beautiful as it is, is a bonus!!

Cons:

Nothing - it was a great stay, in a beautiful hotel!

THIS is what every hotel stay should feel like!
