All hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were large, clean and very comfortable. The mountain view was spectacular!! Overall excellent hotel and would stay again when back in Cape Town. Very good value for money.
United KingdomI liked the attention to detail for making out special moments memorable although we could not have got the same experience for the 2nd special event we came out to celebrate due to Covid 19. The room still had a romantic atmosphere and we were not short of comfort
South AfricaWe had a 1 bed suite and it had an amazing- fantastic view we couldn't get enough of. The hotel is beautiful and the staff and especially the concierge were so helpful and lovely and we went through them to book several restaurants and a wine tour last minute. The wine tour we did with Ilios was really enjoyable and highly recommendable. Definitely one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in and I would love to go back! We were sad to leave. Thank you for making my birthday trip so special!
United KingdomService was excellent, the room was extremely comfortable and the view from it was sensational. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. When when arrived we were delighted that they had left us a complimentary bottle of delicious wine. The breakfast was delicious and the mint restaurant where we had dinner one of the nights was absolutely fantastic. There was a free shuttle to and from the main tourist attractions and they arranged free transport to any location within 10km of the hotel. This was an unexpected bonus but the location itself was perfect also. Very near the main shopping district,about a 20 minute walk from the V&A waterfront if youd prefer to walk than get a shuttle. In summary,I could not recommend this hotel highly enough and I can only hope I get the opportunity to visit again some day
IrelandFantastic breakfast, very comfortable bed, friendly professional staff. Beautiful room in pristine condition.
South Africaservice was short of expectations, unacceptable delays at breakfast, unable to connect with concierge via telephone to retrieve car, front staff promised to call us with details of restaurant reservation we requested but FORGOT to do so, breakfast staff very very slow almost 30 min to get our MACHINE BREWED capuccinos(sub standard)
South AfricaBreakfast was great. Also had a unique touch with Indian options on the menu. Really enjoyed the chutneys and Indian porridge.
South AfricaAbsolutely perfect from facilities to food to staff to room. The most comfortable bed you'll ever sleep in. Mint restaurant takes food to a whole new level, delicious! Facilities exceptionally clean, staff attentive and location in the heart of the city.
South AfricaThe free shuttle with Stanley was a bonus since he gave great advice on best places to shop, eat and visit. The concierge gave fantastic directions and I was able to cramp a lot of local sites during my short stay.
Barbadosmy requests were met on arrival in room viz flowers & fruit dosa @ breakfast was first class
