    Everything was brilliant.

    Stayed at the penthouse and the views were exceptional. The property is located in a beautiful spot with breath taking views of camps bay and the 12 Apostles.

    Nothing to add - we reallyl enjoyed it.

    From arrival to departure we felt personally attended to. As we were celebrating our 18 year wedding anniversary a complimentary bottle of champagne was provided which was a lovely special touch. Even with the weather being a bit chilly, the atmosphere and views didn't put a damper on our stay.

    I loved the fact that the room had everything you can think of. From nail cutter to hair straightener and snacks for free, water and soft drinks for free. It's a 5 star treatment at low cost. The room was clean and comfortable bed. Your room gets prepared twice a day.

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    Everything about my stay here was perfect. The room was amazing, it was so spacious and it had everything I needed and more. I loved that the mini bar was complimentary and topped up with different drinks to enjoy. The views were incredible. I was greeted by a lady called Lwando who looked after me so well. her service was top-tier, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. I could not fault it and can say I had a 5* experience. As a solo traveller, I loved this hotel and I loved the location.

    My setback was arriving in Cape Town on a very cold day and be told the aircon maintenance guy couldn’t finish work, but he’ll be there the following day to fix, but we stayed and left without a working aircon no the sign of maintenance guy.

    Pretty much loved the setup
