    The bed, in particular the pillows, were one of the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. Our room on the 2nd floor was functional- though I did not feel it was the cleanest. In addition we asked for twin beds but got a king size. We only stayed one night so I did not raise these issues.

    This is a good family hotel with nice food and beverage facilities and pool. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The location is perfect to see other areas of Cape Town, apart from the waterfront.

    Room was not a greta location and if the curtains were open, people from other hotel could look into your room and we looked onto driveway, security gate and other buildings

    Cupcakes for my daughters birthday was a lovely touch. Friendly staff. Great pool and location

    Limited menu in main restaurant (although there are other restaurants at the hotel). Location is too far from the V&A waterfront to be able to walk so a taxi is needed for every trip

    Breakfast is good, the service from the staff was excellent. Preparations of eggs was a bit slower, you wait for over 10min for eggs. But overall my stay was excellent.

    However, I was disappointed with the fried eggs. While the eggs themselves were fine, the cleanliness of the frying station left much to be desired, which affected the quality of the dish. Unfortunately, the eggs ended up unappetising and I could not eat them. As a result, I had to switch to the omelette for the remainder of the week.

    Above all, the room was clean and comfortable and truly made me feel at home. The location was ideal, with easy access to everything we needed. Although we chose not to dine at the hotel, shopping and dining options were conveniently nearby. Major attractions like the Waterfront shopping centre and the beaches were within easy reach, with Camps Bay being my personal favourite. The breakfast was exceptional, offering various dishes to suit every palate. There was something for everyone, from fresh fruits and pastries to hearty hot options. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail, such as the availability of oats, which made my children feel right at home—they didn't even miss the comfort of our own kitchen. The food quality and the warm, accommodating service contributed to an outstanding dining experience.

    Dinner on Saturday night was not the greatest but it could have been the choice I made.

    Room was very comfortable and clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I did not have a room with a view, but besides that it was very pleasant stay. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was fine as it was lovely walking along the beach front and relaxing sitting by the pool.
