If staying in Cape Town's City Centre, this is one of the top properties. The rooms are modern, comfortable, safe and immaculate.
When I arrived, the hotel could not find my booking, which I made almost a year earlier. Fortunately they made every effort to sort the situation out.
I found this property a helpful homebase, in visiting several downtown tourist sites including District Six and The National Gallery. It is near to many of the bus routes, which makes getting a ready a cinch. Lodging in the Bo-Kaap district was interesting too. Hearing call-to-prayer was an unexpected and pleasing sound.
I stayed during NYE and the festivities roll right through the corner intersection. It was quite the party.
My favourite feature of the hotel was the take away cafe/kiosk in the lobby. Great sandwiches, coffee and sweets and at a great price.
My least favourite hotel feature was the pool area. It doubles as a bar with numerous guests smoking cigarettes and Hooka/Shisha. It's nauseating to an extreme.
A peculiar mixture of clientele too.
For my last Cape Town day, I've moved to Camp's Bay Village. It's down-market, but much more authentic and free of pretence. I recommend visitors mix it up, a couple days in the city centre and a few days at the beach.
Value rating = medium.
