Great Stay
Moved to this hotel when we checked out early from a different hotel that was horrible. This hotel was great. Decor is a cool retro vibe. Room is very nice with a very comfortable bed. On the water, but still reasonably close to the CBD in a very nice neighbourhood with lots of dining options. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Service and location was great, however the conditions of hotel were not great. I believe Mariott recently purchased this hotel and is still renovating. This may explain why I found it wasn't to Mariott standards/

Fint hotel i område tæt på strand, restauranter og butikker. Dejligt med en lille pool og afslapningsområde på toppen. Værelser kunne godt bruge en opgradering. Føltes som et sikkert sted at bo. Skønt personale med fremragende service.

Great location, amazing breakfast.
Really good location, amazing breakfast but a slow and frustrating check in. Took more than hour and half and the booking could not be found. I had to contact Hotels.com as the customer to resolve the issue.

My prepaid guests came from the airport and were informed with no notice that the hotel was overbooked and they would be kicked to a different, very inconvenient location. Unacceptable.

The hotel that shines like a great diamond
This is a highly polished hotel set in a safe area of Cape Town. The staff do glisten in any light. Without exception they are all friendly and attentive - I know because I saw them interacting with other guests and we all experienced their polished service standards. They are well motivated and it shows. Be there to know that each feels part of the team striving to deliver a warm and friendly experience for their guests.

Staff all very helpful and friendly, remembering breakfast tea preferences without being asked. Lots of advice from front of house and doormen about various places of interest. Room clean, set up as single beds as I was lone traveller, but happy to make it into double as my preference. Bathroom clean, fresh towels every day, could improve shower curtain though to glass side instead. (My only complaint) again personal preference. Two minutes to sea front. Restaurant attached very cheerful, staff singing Happy Birthday to guests and occasional burst of line dancing, all good family friendly fun. I would certainly recommend and return.
