Not a great hotel

- In a rather dubious part of Cape Town - No parking on or in close proximity to hotel - In other words, I got here in the dark and would have had to park a few streets away, in another garage and walk here! - And it is really a bit “grubby” - Strange TV options – one sport channel, a frozen e channel and Portuguese news!

Very clean and well maintained rooms and tue daily gifts were great ones. However, the staff promised to email my receipt but until now they have not done so. Now my company has not refunded me my accommodation bill because I couldn’t present my cash receipt since my payment was in cash.

A welcoming hotel with excellent breakfast and friendly staff. The mandated electrical shutdowns are an inconvenience but a fact of life in Cape Town unless back up batteries are available. Ask if your room is on the battery backup list!

Très bien

Hôtel bien placé dans un quartier sécurisé. Vue magnifique sur table mountain. Literie confortable et excellent petit déjeuner. L’hôtel n’est pas équipé de groupe électrogène donc cela peut causer des inconvénients lors des délestages électriques fréquents. Des lampes sur batteries sont à disposition dans les chambres.

Worst experience ever

Possibly my worst stay in Cape Town, EVER. There is no dedicated parking as advertised and you need to find parking in the road in front of the Hotel. The aircons does not blow cold air more like a fan and mine stopped working after a loud bang at about 2 in the morning. The beds base was broken on the one side where the base nearly touched the floor so kept rolling over to that side during the night. Hair stuck in the towels. On the second morning I went down for breakfast and was told that they are not doing breakfast as there’s not enough guests in the Hotel, someone was supposed to notify me of this the previous day, nobody did. Could not wait to get out of there.
