Lovely, comfortable stay.
Pros:

Went for a work trip, so only stayed for one night. The hotel felt nice and new and is super central. Easy parking and lovely breakfast buffet. Staff were all helpful and very friendly. Would most definitely recommend it and stay there again. And such a lovely view of Cape Town. (I’ve added some pictures I took from my window.)

Ottima struttura centrale a Cape Town
Pros:

Si trova in una posizione centrale, colazione molto varia e ottima.
Camera e struttura pulita, a seguito di una sistemazione che presentava un danno alla porta, in tempo zero hanno provveduto a darci una camera sostitutiva.
Personale cortese.
Pratico posteggio a disposizione.
Mi sento di consigliarlo!

Hotel muy bonito y céntrico
Pros:

Todo muy bien, desayuno delicioso y café de cafetera profesional hecho al momento. Personal muy amable.
El rooftop bar es muy bonito, y la piscina también.

Cons:

Sólo hay sitio para poner una maleta en la habitación, la otra tiene que estar en el suelo - lo cual es un poco incómodo; un soporte plegable adicional, sería muy práctico.
La piscina está muy bien y el hotel pone toallas, pero no hay vestidor para cambiarse.

Nice place
Pros:

Nice hotel with beautiful view from the bar on the roof top. Clean rooms . Very friendly staff in reception and restaurant.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the bar on the roof with beautiful views of the city, is out the control of the manager and staff. Local patrons were behaving outrageously, and arguments, shouting, and aggressive behavior effectively drove away the customers present at the time. Despite warning the bar staff about the patrons' reprehensible behavior, no one took any action to control the situation.
