    Brand-new and nicely decorated room, fairly clean hotel in general.

    Fine base for discovering Cape Town. Not the cheapest one nevertheless good value. Helpful and attentive staff of the hotel. Nice building and rooms in a common kitchenette. Good location close to many things with views of the mountain laying on the bed. And close to non stop night life and the shops and green market.

    The location was perfect, with plenty of entertainment within walking distance. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and were incredibly friendly. The free wifi was strong, which was a huge plus. The apartments were absolutely phenomenal, with a full kitchen, laundry machines, and a beautiful living room filled with natural light. The staff truly made my stay memorable and enjoyable.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    Stayed in guest room with mountain views which was perfect for me. Location: the hotel was really close to Happy Rhino. I was surprised at nearby Baghdad Cafe, they had some goodies, drinks.

    Didn't like the area, it was really noisy.
