Not to be forgotten that easily
Pros:

History of the place - you could feel so much had happened there, all the memorabilia and facts displayed around, beautiful lounge & breakfast room with amazing fireplace in the reception area, helpful staff and availability to everything we needed

Cons:

Location itself is not in the best area which can put you off a bit

Worth it!
Pros:

The staff were friendly and very helpful; accommodating and kind during our longer stay. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and changed a little bit every day, to keep it interesting. The rooms were clean and bright. We will return.

Cons:

The restaurant is not warmed, so dining there on a winter's evening is not comfortable. For the rest, could not ask for better value.

Pros:

Lage zwischen Stadt und Flughafen war für uns ausschlaggebend.
Sehr gutes Frühstück.
Bequeme Betten.

Cons:

Leider ist direkt neben dem Hotel eine große Baustelle. Darauf wurden wir auch vorher hingewiesen.
Die Terrassentür hatte Einbruchsspuren und wurde durch eine extra Kette gesichert.

Hotel lindo, confortável e silencioso
Pros:

O hotel é lindo e fica na sede de uma antiga fazenda na Cidade do Cabo, com vista para as montanhas. O lugar é extremamente silecioso, tem um figueira lindíssima na entrada e fica em frente a um restaurante maravilhoso e muitíssimo charmoso. Quando cheguei, o quarto que me deram não tinha banheira, como havia sido anunciado no Booking no momento da minha reserva, e o pessoal do hotel me ofereceu um quarto muito amplo com banheira grande sem cobrar nada. Os funcionários do hotel eram muito simpáticos, o café da manhã era gostoso e cama era extremamente confortável. Foi uma das melhores experiências de hospedagem que já tive na vida, meu filho de 9 anos também amou!

Cons:

Nada, foi tudo perfeito!
