This hotel is located in a center of the Cape Town and easy driving access to any of the tourist attraction.
Lobby receptionist was very nice and polite and professional even it said she was still in training.
It was a large room and very comfortable. View of the Table Mountains from the room window was also great.
Staff at the breakfast restaurant was all great, very friendly to our 2 and half year old daughter.
We would like to visit this hotel again.

No one helped me with my bags even after I asked - I had to put down 400 zar deposit in cash which I didn’t know about and didn’t have - over all it was cute but I never felt welcomed at all it would have been nice to have the same service perhaps as someone who looks white

Disappointed customer‼️
Room advertised online was definitely not the same room when checking in and very small (please change online pictures‼️). No dishwashing liquid in room to wash cups or glasses, when asking cleaning staff I was informed they didn't have any, they just use water to wash cups etc - unhygienic‼️. Front desk staff not very helpful when checking in and they seem busy and pre-occupied and not interested... avoiding me that if I wavy to upgrade it will cost me R500.00 - totally bizarre. Prepare yourselves for parking costs which is R150.00 per night and payment is expected upfront. Hotel nice and quiet and location is great. Checking out was a breeze, thanks to Mustapha who assisted me, he was patient and kind. Please employ note staff like Mustapha. If only he helped me when I checked in.

Complicated hotel
Asking deposit at check in but there is no mini bar or restaurant must be paid in advance when ordering. Complicated check in and check out. And then even have to wait for that deposit refund
