    Fabulous base for a city break in Cape Town! If you want to eat nearby, try Cushty Deli, which is situated 500 ft away.

    We had a great time at this place, just a 10-minute walk to Signal Hill, and we recommend it, especially for a weekend getaway, only 25 minutes by car from the airport.

    I had an amazing stay at this luxurious hotel! the location was perfect as it was within walking distance to all the major attractions and there were plenty of restaurants in the area. I also loved the fact that the staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout my stay. The room amenities were top-notch, with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, a mini-bar, and a comfortable sitting area. The hotel also provided free toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV, ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Not to mention, the breakfast served here was absolutely delicious, providing a great start to my day. Another highlight was the amazing leisure facilities, including a bar/lounge area and a gym, allowing me to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.

    This hotel is definitely a great choice for families as well.

    Friendly, helpful hosts provide good city tips. Delicious breakfast with fresh bread. Peaceful rooms offer good sleep. Bar/games-room is a fun way to meet people. Cozy garden adds charm. Highly recommended.

    We had an incredible stay at this guest house! The cleanliness of the rooms was outstanding, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The breakfast spread was delicious, offering a great variety of options. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, providing us with valuable information on which attractions to visit. Additionally, the location to many restaurants in the area was convenient, making it easy for us to grab a bite to eat whenever we wanted.

    Absolutely nothing.

    The breakfast was delicious and there was a good variety. The location was great, everything was walking distance and there were plenty of options for cafes, restaurants, and a nice park nearby. The staff was friendly and attentive.

    The room was a bit small and the bed could have been more comfortable.
