We came for 2 or 3 days and stayed for 5. Perfect location. We could walk the V and A waterfront with no worries. Front desk staff were very helpful. Tour coordinator got us on the right tours. Great place. Highly recommend. (Pool not so good. Rooftop pool bar…great)

We were assigned to a room designed for handicap folks but we are not. Consequently, the bathroom mirror was too low and the shower area was completely open.

Friendly funky hotel in great location.

Modern funky hotel with a great vibe. Very friendly helpful staff. Loved the welcome drink of a local gin. Fairy quiet area yet only 5 minutes walk from Waterfront Clock Tower with lots of restaurants and tours available.

Great Hotel near the Waterfront

Great position right next to MOCCA and within easy walking distance of the shops, bars and restaurants at the V&A Waterfront. Breakfast was good with a variety of freshly cooked hot dishes to order, plus the usual cold meats, cheeses, breads and cereals. Hotel was very clean with friendly, helpful staff and we were allowed to check in early after a gruelling flight from London at 10:30 a.m. instead of the usual 3:00 p.m., which was very welcome.

Good hotel in the heart of Cape Town waterfront

This is a great place to stay right in the heart of the Cape Town waterfont. Staff is very enthusiastic and the rooftop and main floor bars are very active and fun. Great views too. We were disappointed with the follow through of the concierges but it all worked out, luckily.
