My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was fantabulous, but the bathroom had a lingering stench that made the whole area unpleasant. The friendly service helped to make up for some shortcomings in cleanliness, and the location, although central, could be dodgy at night. The dining experience was satisfying, with a good variety of dishes available. Overall, a decent place with both positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel's location is fantastic, making it very accessible and within walking distance to the V&A Waterfront. The rooms, however, were dark and dingy, with one facing a wall, which was unpleasant. The service from the desk staff and kitchen bar staff was very professional and helpful. The dining experience was okay but could have been improved with fresher tasting options. The pool area and the friendly staff were highlights of the facilities.

The hotel's location is superb, close to transportation hubs and key venues we wanted to explore. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the noisy dining area and some room conditions were drawbacks. The facilities offered were convenient and modern, adding value to the experience.

Staying at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the new upgraded rooms were a pleasant surprise, they lacked basic kitchen amenities like utensils and even a dish cloth. However, the terrible smell in the room, reminiscent of wet carpet, was a big letdown especially after a long trip with the family.

The new upgraded rooms were a nice touch, but lacking kitchen essentials and had a concerning smell.
Service

The service was a real disappointment as we had an unfortunate experience where our bags were tampered with, and some money went missing. Despite this, the manager tried to rectify the situation afterward.

The hotel's location was one of its stronger points, being conveniently close to the Victoria and Albert waterfront as well as key transportation hubs like the Cape Town Railway station and MyCiti bus stops.
Dining

The dining experience was a bit inconsistent. While there were great choices for various tastes, the issue of additional charges for certain items like hot chocolate, along with some cleanliness concerns in the rooms, left room for improvement.
