Pros:

I absolutely love Sunsquare Cape Town City Bowl! The location is perfect — right in the centre of everything and so convenient for getting around Cape Town.
The hotel is quiet, safe, and the breakfast is amazing! This was my second time staying here, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The staff are also so friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist.

I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
