The hotel room was spacious with a great view, but the beds were horrible and the aircon was too loud. The food variety was amazing, but the quality was not the highest standard. The hotel lacks basic plugs for chargers, and there is no fridge in the room.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was very clean and spacious, but some maintenance equipment was still left inside. The service overall was more than efficient and friendly, but the front desk staff and manager were not as helpful as expected. The location was excellent, right in the center of everything with a great view of the city and the harbor. However, the dining experience left much to be desired due to long wait times and poor service during breakfast rush hours.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring Cape Town, but the ironing facilities were insufficient. The staff, including the enthusiastic housekeeper, were warm and helpful, yet service could be improved. The dining experience left much to be desired in terms of value for money, while the rooms showed signs of ongoing maintenance work. However, the hotel is near major attractions, offering ease of access to various activities.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms served as my temporary office for work demands, although they were not completely satisfactory. The service, including collecting empty glasses and bottles, was very friendly. The location was perfectly fine and safe, although a bit touch and go at times. The dining experience could have been better with more options, but the facilities were decent.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had horrible beds, and the manager didn't apologize for the inconvenience. Some upgrades are needed, especially with the carpets. However, I did appreciate having a larger double bed compared to a cramped small one. Service was a hit or miss with some staff not showing empathy, but the porter was attentive. The location was a bit confusing to find, but once there, the views of Table Mountain and Cape Town were stunning. The dining experience had its flaws with long wait times but the breakfast team was friendly. Overall, the facilities were lacking in some areas.
