Smashing stay
Really nice hotel with amazing room spaces. The staff are all very friendly and very helpful.

I was in Cape Town for a few days for a conference. This was a great option at a lower price point than the official conference hotels. The room and bed were comfortable and the staff were all friendly. Breakfast was included and was a nice selection of hot and cold items. I didn't try the restaurant for other meals. They provide water and tea/coffee in the room. It is convenient to the convention center and other touristy locales and is bustling during the day. However, many locals strongly advised that you do not walk around the area after dark. So even though my colleagues were at another hotel around the corner, I used Uber after dark. It seemed silly but the local prices for Uber are very affordable and worth it. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

Location was ideal with a great bonus of a complimentary shuttle to and from the Waterfront (at set times). Room was spacious with generous supply of tea, coffee, toffee and cookies! Staff were very polite and helpful.

It does not really look like in the pictures. Rooms and lobby are renovated and are nice and clean. But the inside of the building is missing bits and pieces here and there that makes it look and feel less than what it could be, such as the inside of the elevator missing some stuff. Breakfast was quite unimpressive and service was slow in general, both restaurant and reception. The surrounding areas are not nice to look at during daytime and quite intimidating after dark but nothing happened.

A nice hotel for decent rate. The area is not that great at night so taxis are recommended.

All fine
There was a shower issue but it was fixed promptly. Breakfast/bar are basic but adequate. Parking was on-street but in a square with good security and extremely convenient being right at the hotel entrance.
