The staff were very friendly, helpful, kind and accommodating. The location was great - walking distance to the waterfront. The transport company working with the hotel provided excellent service at very affordable prices, their office is around the corner from the hotel!

Excellent choice for a hotel. It is a 2 minute walk to the V & A harbor but you are out of the hustle and bustle and noise of the harbor. The junior suite was spacious with nice extra touches like cookies and a welcome chocolate on the pillow. They replaced linens every day and water bottles. The breakfast buffet was excellent with hot choices like made to order eggs, excellent fresh fruit and pastries as well as many other things. We ate dinner one night at the hotel and it was excellent. The staff was excellent. So friendly and helpful and always smiling.

Nice to be near wharf and dining. Nice in house dining. However rooms and hallway are old fashioned with no smart TV and less than adequate outlets and no standard irons and ironing board.

You’re greeted with a warm smile. Very clean property and close to everything. All the staff are super nice, helpful, and willing to help with you anything. Especially at the front desk Andile, he helped my family with any questions, upgrading or any accommodations I needed. This location is perfect to the shops, harbor and have taxis readily available at the front door. Property was super clean and breakfast in the morning was scrumptious. My kids played in the pool, it was clean. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
