Hotel nicely located close to local markets, restaurants, bars and supermarket. Area is a bit rough, with homeless people begging and following you for quite a while But not as had as I expected. Police and safety officers were present on most corners. If vigilant and avoiding certain streets. one can have nice walks to explore the city and shop local art, clothes and memorabilia. Rooms not huge but comfortable for family of four. Breakfast was excellent with wide range of option and available until 11 on Sunday. Hotel must have been renovated not long ago and looked modern. Staff nice and very helpful. Dining option in the hotel was nice and decently priced.

We did a same day booking and the staff were very helpful. The included buffet breakfast was really good. The rooms were spacious and the king size bed was appreciated. The shower temperature was hard to set and hot water took a while, but the water pressure was good. The hotel badly needs a refurb and is feeling and looking tired. Carpets have been replaced with hard floors, doors have multiple layers of paint and the fridge is old and the cabinet no longer has a door.

Hotel is located in the center with 6-7 mins drive by taxi to the Waterfront. Quite a concern was a "camping site" on the opposite side of the road. Taxi can park on both sides of he entrance corner. Restaurant is ok, not ideal but ok. And actually hotel is quite crowded.

Not suitable for a young family
We arrived on 30 March for a three night stay. CONS We’re horrified to see how much poverty and deprivation exists directly outside the hotel. The first two pics is of displaced people right next to the hotel. The roads adjacent and parallel are unsafe with high proportion of people on drugs and/ or displaced. This is not a suitable location for families to go wondering around. It’s okay if you get taxis everywhere. There is no one available to help with luggage, no concierge and generally there is a shortage of staff at reception. The breakfast is very average& selection of bread very limited. We booked a 2 x double bed room which was incredibly small for three people. We found there are two corner rooms on each floor with double beds and they kindly changed our room on the second day. I tried to take a work conference call and the staff recommended the Mezzanine floor. Which is an open space, with some rooms off them. Despite the fact they were empty and I only required for 1 hour, the staff member Masi, was adamant I could not sit in the corner without paying 1000R! Every night we were there we could not sleep as there was very loud parties every single night. The pool is not heated, it never is. It should be described as a cold plunge pool (I am not exaggerating it was freezing and we could not use it). PRO’s The staff are very generally v friendly and welcoming. Especially housekeeping. The price is competitive compared with other hotels on the Waterfront (but k

Comfortable, hotel that is centrally located with a great breakfast. Rooms are a little small for two people but the view is fantastic. Gym, roof top pool, and great staff make it the perfect place to stay while in Cape Town.

the hotel as 4star was good as to fittings, room and quality. Service starting with Reception absolutely horrible. Was asked in military ordering tone: Id number, Id, passport, bankcard - and then hard to believe Bankbalance !!!.Of course I did NOT no friendliness and a tone that I would not speak to my own employes (1900). I reported this to some Gentleman who said was 'Duty manager' who did little or nothing about it. Although my booking was fully paid 10 days before arrival I was 'ordered' to pay ZAR 250 parking for the 4 days. Have been customer of Sun International since the days of no! Maharani Hotel in Durban yet. Certainly NO 4star hotel Service This treadment makes visitation in your hotels very questionable, if this is the new tone and service.
