Hotel Spa
Pros:

Relax and Rejuvenate has by far the best masseuse with affordable prices. I work remotely, and my poor posture causes bad back pain. My masseuse, Talita, was by far amazing with her "Thermal palms" I call it, the ambience was amazing and i received such a warm welcome with friendly smiles, I'll definitely go back again

Cosy home away from home with everything one needs and more!
Pros:

This is an amazing place to stay, especially if you are new to Cape Town! The waterfront is just a block from the entrance and there are many great cafes and shops and an ATM with security nearby. The staff are incredible and everyone made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast buffet is amazing and definitely worth booking! Siphokazi (I hope I got the spelling right) and her colleagues took very good care of us at the restaurant. I needed to work a bit with my laptop in the lobby, and felt very comfortable there. Thanks to the whole team for making us feel at home!

Nothing Better
Pros:

This was our honeymoon vacation and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The service that the hotel provides is impeccable. This has been by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in South Africa. We will be back.

We enjoyed the rich breakfast, location and positive attitude of the staff.
Pros:

The location was close to the promenade and the bus stop so it was great. There were shops and restaurants around as well. Breakfast was superb! Cleanliness is also a plus.

Cons:

The room was a bit small.
