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.
