Pros:

Abbiamo passato una sola notte in questo hotel situato all'interno di una vecchia fonderia di ferro; ed anche se per un soggiorno breve è stato veramente bello vedere la location unica in cui era situato!
Siamo stati molto bene, camera bella e pulita, personale molto gentile ed ottima colazione!

Great place to stay in Cape Town
Pros:

The staff were so friendly and helpful...I arrived late and the concierge carried my bags up to my room like they were feathers...mind you I had flown 3 flights for about 20 hours so he made it look easy. The breakfasts were good and the front office staff were just delightful

Cons:

Nothing really

Lovely place for a stay and or a relaxing getaway.
Pros:

Convenient location. Great space and design. Lovely manner of retrofitting to create a cozy, comfortable room. If you are an architect, you will truly appreciate the designs and layout.
The breakfast is also great.
Staff are accommodating and helpful.
Overall, the recipe for a great time in Cape Town.

Cons:

Just a be a little careful to clarify the night-time entrance.
