Pleasant enough
Pros:

Little Scotia is very well located to visit UCT which is why we were there. We walked easily to the campus and around Rondebosch. Our room was comfortable enough. The staff were very friendly, the overall property was pleasant enough and our breakfast was very satisfying and delicious.

Cons:

Our room was small. The two things I did not like was a very loose, slippery rug/carpet on the floor which I kept tripping over and the lack of a shower door / curtain which could have prevented the entire bathroom floor from getting wet whilst showering. Both these things were a nuisance and should be addressed.
