  • Maybe book in advance, they seem to be busy. They cater to airlines, and the cruise terminal is within a 3 minute taxi ride (395pamd)

  • this stay was from check in to check out an unforgettable experience. Very friendly staff, excellent service, very clean, and an unbeatable location. Especially noteworthy is the roof top bar with breathtaking views of Table Mountain, Signal Hill, and the Waterfront. I definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

  • "Nice stay in Cape Town for a repeat visit"

  • I have stayed in several hotels around Cape Town over the past several years, and this one was one of the more pleasant stays. Checked in, in the late afternoon after a long drive from the western Cape. Room was small, but we didn’t stay in it very long. It was clean and well equipped. Close and walkable to everything in the waterfront. Staff were nice and helpful. Breakfast in the morning seemed like standard continental fare (we did not eat but we watched them set up as we waited for our taxi to the airport for an early morning flight). Perfectly suitable for a quick stay in town.

  • The hotel is really well located, although the drop off and pick up could be better. The hotel is clean and modern but the staff need to take care of people a little more when it becomes busy. There is a lot of dependnsce on apps and on-line which not everbody has access to. Overall however it is a nice place to stay.

  • I recently had the pleasure of staying in this lovely & modern hotel ! Wow, what a great experience ! After a 24h flight I had arranged airport pickup via the hotel, which worked perfectly. On arrival I was met by a lovely reception team, interactive, friendly and very helpful. Due to the early arrival my room was not ready. but the staff were so helpful so this was not a problem. I was offered i complimentary Gin & Tonic from their G&T bar - very funky ( bit early for me though ) I spend some time waiting on the rooftop bar with the most amazing view. I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing view, the arty decoration and most of all the professional and super friendly staff. The location is excellent with just a few minutes walk to the Alfred & Victoria waterfront. Breakfast, dinner, rooftop bar, bellboys, night staff & reception - the staff are excellent and so friendly ! It has been a true pleasure. Negative ... ? Well they were unfortunately fully booked for the extra 4 nights I wanted to return later in the week. This is the place to stay and I am looking forward to return. Thank you all for a great stay !

  • Simple, but stylish rooms. Check-in and check-out was very efficient. Located right at the Waterfront, just a little stroll from the restaurants, safe area. Excellent value for money. The staff makes you smile whenever they look at you, warm welcome everywhere.
