An excellent hotel in a perfect location in Capetown. Minutes walk from the V&A Waterfront. All staff we came into contact with were friendly, professional and very helpful. We had breakfast included which was immense with a beautiful buffet and a chef standing by to cook you whatever you wanted. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tables and towels round the pool were cleared regularly. The room was spacious and very well equipped. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to discover Capetown.
