We liked the uniqueness of the property. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The decor in the hotel was very nice.
South AfricaThe 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.
United KingdomWe 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!
United States of AmericaGreat funky hotel in the center of the city. Staff was very helpful and warm. Rooftop bar was a great hang out spot.

MexicoThe 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.
