The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Cape Town, close to major attractions like the Waterfront and Table Mountain. The rooms are luxurious and spacious, equipped with top-notch amenities and a full kitchen. The service is impeccable with friendly and efficient staff, providing a delightful surprise during my stay. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations despite the terrific spread. Overall, a fantastic location with world-class rooms and service.

I felt like a VIP in the luxurious suite, surrounded by spacious and beautiful settings. The service was top-notch, from friendly staff to incredibly helpful associates dealing with every issue with understanding. The location was fantastic, ideal for exploring key attractions during the day. However, caution is needed at night. The dining experience was terrific, offering delicious snacks. The facilities were spread out but in great condition.

The hotel is simply amazing, offering enormous rooms with everything needed for a luxurious stay, although the nighttime surroundings might pose some safety issues. The service is top-notch, with staff going out of their way to be accommodating and provide a great customer experience. The location is ideal, central to key attractions and surrounded by fantastic dining options. The dining experience itself is terrific, but the breakfast spread was a disaster. Overall, a fantastic spot but with some safety concerns at night.
