    The booking.com page was false - the owner just made excuses and didn't do much on this front. On arrival we had been given the wrong room. The staff (who were great) had to get hold of the owner to get us moved to the correct room.

    The staff were great.

    No bedside lights to read by. Plugs not convenient for boiling kettle. Top of door needs a blind so passage light doesn't shine into room at night. Unacceptable to only have instant coffee available for breakfast. A four star establishment needs to provide proper coffee!

    Location was good, close enough to walk to some buildings and sites of interest as well as good restaurants in the vicinity. Cooked breakfast was excellent.

    Our hubcaps were stolen. No use if you have cameras but now one manning them. Area calls for security as cars are parked outside.

    Location was good! Right in the CBD and walking distance to everything but tucked away to avoid noise. Staff extremely helpful despite last minute late booking. Fantastic old building being carefully restored with big comfortable bed and large shower room. Tea and coffee facilities in room.

    The hotel which was opened last year has almost the identical name to the long established Cape Heritage Hotel (a few hundred meters away). I booked this hotel in error. The rooms were big enough with a nice bathroom but many other things let it down - very poor internet, impractical furniture, sheets were not fresh, low grade coffee, a fly infestation and other insects and vermin. The street parking is not good and my hubcaps were stolen on the first night. It is also noisy.

    The staff was friendly and tried hard to make our stay pleasant

    Worst hotel experience in my life

    The room had a horrible paint smell due to reservations. Wasn't able to use the aircon, had to sleep with my windows open hearing all the noises from outside. They lit up incense to hide the smell but didn't take it away, Im still stuck with that horrific smell thinking about last night. They also didn't want me to cancel the booking 30min after I had checked in. And finally the description said hotel and spa, they didn't have a spa facility. I'm not very happy with the false advertising and the bad experience, how am I not allowed to use an aircon in a room I paid for? Why do I need to have incense lit to mask the smell of paint. Sleeping with the windows open attracted bugs, mosquitoes kept me up and woke up with a cockroach in my room. This was the most horrible experience in my life.

    The bed was comfortable.

    Not the best stay for me. I had paid for two nights for a particular room but was allocated an inferior one due to it having plumbing issues. My bedroom was much inferior and I didn’t enjoy my stay. I was woken several times due to the room being too close to the reception area. I also suggest that the hotel consider giving entrance keys or a tag to enter, to guests- I had to wait for an hour in the early morning when the front door was locked and due to loadshedding the main bell didn’t work so night staff couldn’t hear me! The staff weren’t the best although Nauboobiyah was very helpful.

    On the day I arrived my rooms bed and bathroom were dirty. No manager on site to handle problems. The power points at the desk in my room did not work, so I would not work at the desk. The room felt unsafe at night. A bright light was installed outside my room and the staff member told me that it could not be turned off, this made it hard to sleep at night.

    "Spa" is in the name of the Hotel, but the spa (and restaurant) have not been constructed yet. 'spa' carries expectations, and those were not met. Otherwise, it's a lovely little hotel with the friendliest staff.

    Very well located, within Bo Kaap and generally safe within that neighborhood. Antique fittings and decor; the hotel smells of rich wood and warmth. Street parking is risky, but the (small) hotel has parking for 1 vehicle.

I intended to stay in a four star environment, however i had to reevaluate all of that and settle. They almost ruined my entire holiday...

    Waited a while upon our arrival. no one at reception desk. Bin was not emptied - toilet. Another bin should be in the room. Cups, things for disposal was not cleaned/ removed. A little bar fridge will be a great asset as we returned from our conference with fridge items.

    Lovey room, bathroom facilities.

    The location of the place. There was a person smoking by my room window and they never went away, whatever they were smoking the smell came in the room which was disgustingly disturbing.

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the place was central. I like that it was clean.
