Hotel centrale vicino alla stazione e a quasi tutti i luoghi di interesse con parcheggio privato non facile da trovare anche con le indicazioni dell’hotel. Stanza spaziosa, arredamento originale, letto spazioso e comodo. Pulita. Forse non un vero 5 stelle, ma un ottimo albergo. Colazione servita su menù non troppo vario, ma di alta qualità. Il punto forte dell’hotel è senza dubbio il personale, allegro, disponibile, impeccabile. Complimenti!

In a prime location but comes with the difficulties of people nagging you for money/ bread on the street. Property itself is not 5*, more like 4*. Spacious room, excellent breakfast and very courteous/ helpful staff. Got to see the real Cape Town a bit because of location. Could provide 2 bottles of water per day rather than the strict policy of one/room. Enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend
