It was a little confusing ti find since its on a pedestrian street. I called the hotel and they sent the bell boy to direct me on how to get there. The rooms besides being very comfortable for my family and I, was very chic. You will fall in love with the rooftop restaurant. Reminded me of a LA chic vibe. The cocktails were amazing. The vibe was great. Athough it felt the hotel would be a great place for younger traveleres, there were so accommodating to my family and I. As a matter of fact, there were lots of families with young toddlers staying here. The staff throughout the hotel was so cortious and helpful. They even walked with me to a grocery store to buy some stuff. I would have liked to have stayed for longer nights. I would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable, large room. The bed was great and the shower was the best we experienced during our 2.5 weeks in South Africa. Also the staff is welcoming and responsive and the restaurant is terrific. We very highly recommend Gorgeous George!

Super chic but super loud

The hotel is incredibly chic and it offers cool amenities. Staff is also friendly and helpful. Room was totally fine and the price was fair. They offer parking. All that said, the area where the hotel is located is FAR FROM CHIC/hardly safe. It's also impossibly loud at night (like, can't sleep loud). Don't see myself coming back.

The location in the centre of the city required vigilance. We knew that when booking. It’s no criticism of the property but we considered that anyone going there should be aware and alert. Having said that the hotel and staff were excellent.
