  • It can be cold in September in Capetown. The hotel is very close to the Victoria and Albert waterfront with lots of shops and restaurants. (Mindy L)

  • "A great stay in Cape Town"

  • We were travelling with a couple of friends, at fist we chooses the hotel for the great location on the waterfront, just steps away from the shopping mall, art and craft market and the aquarium, and also because they dispose of a very convenient parking. At first sight we were not impressed by the building and the interior decoration, maybe because, due to my age, I’m used to more traditional interior decoration. However we were really blown away by the kindness, effectiveness and courtesy of the staff. The rooms are not huge however they are really comfortable and include all the frills you do not expect on this price range : coffee machine, kettle, slippers, bathrobe, a really large television and very comfortable king size bad with very good and comfortable mattresses. All bathroom towel are fluffy and of top quality and the amenities are also very pleasant and with a nice aroma. Breakfast is really good with great choice and eggs prepared at the moment on order and a good choice of fruit and pastry. Juices are fresh. What really make the difference is the really friendly, informal and willing to help staff. It’s one of the very few time I ask to speak to the General Manage to compliment her for the way the staff is acting. I believe the way they behave is due to how she manage the team. Compliment to the GM, to all the team and to radiosonde for this new well executed fresh concept.

  • Nice room, very friendly staff, top location and good food. Located at the Waterfront make it very safe to wander in the evening. Walking distance you can find a very nice shopping mall, and the Mandela station to go to the prison island.
