We very much enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast buffet is phenomenal! I had a burger and a glass of pinotage in their restaurant for dinner and both were excellent. Badin stopped by our table to make sure we were enjoying everything and made our evening even nicer yet.

Excellent location, delicious breakfast with stunning views of Table Mountain. ALL amenities in very close proximity eg) the mountain, good restaurants, boat for Robben Island. Room was spacious if a little tired. What makes this hotel really special? The staff ! Service is faultless from housekeeping to breakfast/ drinks service etc. The concierge team deserves a special mention; especially Enrico who went above and beyond. Thank you for a wonderful stay and looking forward to our already booked return. Read less

This is a lovely hotel and in a brilliant position. Very handy to have the waterfront a 1 min walk away for eating and drinking after a long day of sightseeing. Room was massive, comfortable and great view of table mountain. Disappointed not to have a balcony as most rooms seemed to have one. Also Disappointed with the check in. It was busy in reception due to a conference however we were just given room keys and told where to go. No information given on hotel facilities and services. I.e bars, restaurants, pool. No information on the local area. No information when breakfast to and from and where. No information provided in rooms either. Breakfast was great although could get a bit chaotic. I thought there was perhaps a little too much choice for breakfast like they were trying to encompass every taste and nationality Read less
