    Breakfast was awesome. The only disappointment is there was no direct access to the waterfront like I thought there would be. However, we just used an Uber.

    Pool looks nice but it is cold. If the water becomes hot, it would be more nice. I like gym, but the number of treadmill is two. If more treadmill, it would be great.

    The location is very nice. It's easy to access to Waterfront and conference center. Safety is very high, we can walk around the hotel even in the night.

    Spacious and clean rooms. Varied breakfast with a large selection of fresh fruits. Tasty dishes from the menu. Very friendly and helpful service, from the baggage handler to the general manager.

    One day during our stay there was no running water in the entire hotel. This came as a shock and inconvenience. No effort was made to compensate guests for the terrible inconvenience.

    Breakfast was awesome!

    Breakfast was nearly the same each day, the day we ordered from the kitchen, we had to wait for our orders for more than +-30 minutes.

    The room was always clean and comfortable during our stay. Staff members always assisted whenever we needed assistance, and we enjoyed our stay.

    It would have been nice to have a shuttle that ran to the water front when the canal taxi was not.

    Breakfast was fantastic and location with the canal taxi was great.

    Nothing really! The rooms’ soundproofing could be a little better, but other than that there really was nothing to complain about.

    Everything! The hotel is very clean and the restaurant/bar are excellent. The breakfast is varied and enjoyable, and the buffet never feels to busy. The staff at this hotel are absolutely fantastic; thank you very much to Denver for his help with my TV and David at reception for the assistance with my room. The staff here are truly excellent! I’d highly recommend staying at this hotel if you’re in Cape Town. The shuttle bus to the waterfront is very useful as well.
