I was at the hotel a few days ago. One day I returned to my room and realized that a bracelet and some earrings that I had left in the safe had been stolen. I went to reception to inform them about what happened and they gave me no response. They only informed me that they had seen a member of their staff enter on the cameras. but I didn't have any solution. Please do not visit that hotel. There are better ones in the area and they will surely be more honest. I hope to soon have an answer about what happened. no one contacted me

The hotel is very well placed to visit the Waterfront. Parking is safe and secure. Our room was a bit noisy ie we could hear the other guests. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I have seen in any hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our car was valet parked for us.

Handily placed standard comfortable city hotel, on the edge of the V&A district, so I wouldn’t describe it as “Cape Town Central” (about a half hour walk). We only ate there one night as there are loads of eateries in the V&A but had a very decent evening meal. Breakfast was fabulous. Staff in the restaurant were delightful.

To be fair the only complaint, and this is digging deep, the wi fi isn't the best! Otherwise we had a great time at the hotel, so close to the V&A waterfront, felt like royalty when our car was taken on our arrival and brought back each time we wanted to use it! Seriously cannot think of any other negatives, if we come back we would definitely stay here again

We stayed only one night but the room was exceptional. Well stocked with a hot pot and coffee maker. Really good complimentary shortbread and hot chocolate mix. The room was quiet although in the Wahrf district. From the outside, the building was a little dated but inside first class all the way. The redone bathroom was luxurious--I felt I had to take a bath, bath salts and foam included. And the included breakfast makes this a place I would easily want to stay again.

A brilliantly located hotel if you’re seeking to enjoy the V&A and waterfront. The hotel has access to a multi-storey car park and is not corporate, so staff are very natural and friendly - couldn’t fault the service at all. Breakfast and bar service wants First Class … great breakfast choices with prompt service. Nice compact pool and sun deck area … only a 2-3 minute & very secure walk to the waterfront.
