Great hotel for the Value

Great hotel for the value when visiting Cape Town. Beautiful property and the staff was very helpful. They also serviced a menu style breakfast every morning that was included. The rooms were small but for the value, it’s hard to beat this hotel.

Parfait pour une nuit

L'espace extérieur est très mignon mais un peu trop confiné, petite piscine, peu de place pour les transats, peu de lumière dommage dans ce pays si lumineux. Accueil parfait et très belle maison
