This was a fantastic property in an excellent location. The entire staff was wonderful. The V&A waterfront is across the street. Shops and restaurants galore. The hotel was the harbor masters home. Delightful.
United States of AmericaWonderful building with a luxury throwback to the past. Excellent location and secure parking.
CanadaLocation was fabulous for easy access to the V and A waterfront. Staff very pleasant and room was lovely. Rather than fill in below about what we did not like which would be negative it would be nice to have tea bags in the room in addition to the coffee for those that do not drink coffee.

Saudi ArabiaReally safe and good location. Staff were excellent. Quick stroll to the waterfront. Great if you have a car, park just outside the front door and looked after 24x7.
United KingdomLocation, bathrooms were spacious, staff was extremely helpful.
United Arab EmiratesLocation and Breakfast were great. Views over the Waterfront at sunrise were spectacular. Convenience of being able to walk everywhere is a major +.
South AfricaLovely boutique hotel right on waterfront. Downside is it is noisy especially at weekends. Music playing late into evening
United KingdomThe staff were super friendly and helpful. We felt welcome and well cared-for right from the start. Especially Tabea and Tendai. The rooms are very nicely decorated and everything was in good condition. Good views over the V&A waterfront. Opening your doors meant you could hear the live music from there.
United KingdomBest place to stay in Cape Town near the Waterfront
