    I asked for a 1hr earlier check-in via Booking.com which was acknowledged by the hotel. Upon my arrival, the reception had no knowledge of my request.

    Lovely room and very great restaurant where food is good and staff are accomodating

    Finding the parking when we arrived was a bit tricky, but once we found it the valet service was very helpful and they would get our car whenever we needed it. The service in the restaurant was a bit slow at breakfast, but the staff were very friendly and the breakfast provided was excellent.

    The hotel was superb, a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of town within walking distance of the key places we wanted to visit such as Bo-Kaap and the V&A waterfront.

    Honestly… nothing!

    Everything! The service from the staff was incredible from the second we checked in - everyone was so helpful and beyond welcoming (it was mine and my sister’s first visit to Cape Town). Our room was spacious, clean, beautifully furnished and our bed was very comfortable. What took everything to the next level was the breakfast! It was Melbourne-quality breakfast and coffee, all included! We had brekkie at the cafe a few days but when we had early tours / day trips we were able to get room service (all included as part of our stay). The pool area - albeit a bit small - was very comfortable, clean and had a fantastic vibe.

    Gabby checked us in and had the presence of mind to get a dinner order in minutes before the restaurant closed. The food was fantastic (a roasted whole fish) and Gabby delivered it herself. It was the first night of a very special trip after a long journey and it could not have been better!

    the sound proofing isn't great, so if you have loud neighbors you'll know that...

    The hotel is trendy so if you are into modern design this is a place for you. Well-designed rooms, very clean, nice minibar selection, all the right qualities for a boutique hotel. Small but lovely and picturesque swimming pool on the roof and of course the main feature is the roof top restaurant. It is phenomenal for breakfast. Ironically quality of food and service at breakfast which is included in the stay is much higher than we've experienced at dinner that we also had on the rooftop.

    There was an unfortunate moment one afternoon with a staff member wanting to restock the mini bar in the room when we were having an afternoon nap. Other than that, the staff were warm and accommodating.

    The property is design forward, in a really good way. Everywhere looks stylish, but is also functional. The rooms were spacious, and well thought out. Lots of extras like Netflix loaded, choux buns on turn down service, personalised amenities. The restaurant / bar / rooftop pool and sun loungers is a great addition, it would be a cool bar to go to even if you weren’t staying. We wanted a central location for a couple of nights so we could walk to restaurant Fyn and see a different part of Cape Town, but unless you have a reason to be in CBD, I wouldn’t recommend this location over the other great options in Cape Town, like Camps Bay, Constantia, etc. The secure car park was a bonus and very handy to have the valet service for that - was easy for us.

    A beautiful hotel with the best breakfast of all time.

    Depending on where your room is there can be quite some noise. We initially stayed 1 floor below the restaurant and found it disturbing when we wanted to go to bed. The street can be a little noisy in the day time too but that didn’t both us. Whilst friendly, some of the waiting staff were quite slow in bringing menus or taking orders even when the place wasn’t busy.

    Really beautiful aesthetically. The rooms are lovely and the rooftop is stunning. Honestly though the breakfast was by far the best breakfast I have had in a hotel and rivals some of the best brunch places I’ve been to worldwide. Really nice to have a well made, a La carte breakfast!

    nothing in particular, great hotel!

    The hotel is SO conveniently located in central Cape Town, making it very easy to walk around town for a little explore. And also easy to get an uber to go to V&A waterfront or Table Mountain. The staff was very friendly, the room were SPLENDID! There's so much snack, gym and yoga equipment, the bathroom was enormous and the bed SO comfy! we had a living room our in room 201 and it was very quiet. The rooftop was a clear highlight for us, the cocktail and breakfast menus are outstanding and it was just great to be able to dip into that pool to take a break from the hot scorching sun! Would defo recommend and come back!

    Nothing, we loved it all.

    We spent the last two days of our honeymoon here and loved it. The staff went out of their way to make it special (including leaving chocolate and decorations in our room) and were very helpful. The room was nice and cool, despite being right in the city, and spotlessly clean. It's a great spot for getting around Cape Town. And the rooftop bar is the perfect spot for cocktails. We didn't want to leave!
