We liked the uniqueness of the property. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The decor in the hotel was very nice.

Yolaine South Africa

The staff were lovely and always willing to help (ex: breaking cash for change, loading suitcases in your car, etc). The breakfast selection was also great and the elevator was a nice perk (it’s the oldest functional lift in Cape Town). The bed was also SO COMFORTABLE! We had 4 amazing sleeps during our stay. Complimentary sparkling wine for our honeymoon was also a great touch.

Amanda United Kingdom

We loved the staff, restaurant and decor especially. We kept thinking we should sample some other restaurants but we were enjoying the hotel's so much. Also the staff was exceedingly accommodating!

Pamela United States of America

Great funky hotel in the center of the city. Staff was very helpful and warm. Rooftop bar was a great hang out spot.

Matthew United States of America

It has its own style, it’s confortable and has a good location

Jose Mexico

The staff was very friendly and helpful ready to answer any questions or set up tours around the city. Breakfast package was amazing! The restaurant was 5 stars, the ostrich steak was delish! Traveling with my sister we were concerned for safety but we never felt unsafe.

Jeanne United States of America

Great and friendly stuff who let me feel welcome and appreciated as a guest.

Myriam Switzerland

The staff were very friendly and helpful. the location is nice with cool bars in the vicinity and just a 25 rand uber ride from the waterfront. The hotel is also very clean. Overall very satisfying for the price.
