Classy hotel with lots of history - great location, fantastic staff and meals.
Pros:

Excellence location, breakfast was fantastic. The rooms are dated as is the hotel but it doesn't change the comfort levels. Beautiful building with lots of history. On-Site Restaurant, "The Wild Fig" is really special. The thing to appreciate most about this hotel is the Staff. Thanks very much.

Cons:

The room needs a bit of work on upgrading some of the electrical plugs for modern devices and a Smart TV instead of a DSTV bouquet would be recommended but these are minor issues.

Pros:

Mooie ruime kamers. Uitgebreid ontbijt.
Fijne ligging t.o.v. diverse attracties in Kaapstad. Mooi zwembad.
Naastgelegen restaurant Thecwild Fidge is een echte aanrader.

Cons:

Bij het ontbijt was personeel niet altijd vriendelijk.
Er was op zondag een klein festival met wel wat geluidsoverlast.
Volgens de receptie medewerker klopte de prijs van Booking.com niet. We zouden moeten bijbetalen. Uiteindelijk hoefde dit toch niet.
