The property is in a central location with lots of places for dining, shopping and site visit. The room is a good size and clean. The free breakfast was a plus and it was good each day. Outside of the hotel is very active with locals vendors so you have to be more observant. Overall it was a good experience.

Overall the stay was okay. I kept smelling cigarette smoke in the hallway on my floor and sometimes when I enter my room. I had to open the windows most time for ventilation. It would be nice to have a iron and iron board inside the room. There was an adjoining door in my room which I didn't like. The staff is friendly and courteous. The breakfast variety is also good.

The place next door to the Holiday Inn Express in Cape Town has a broken window at the front of the property that makes the area look less than pleasant. Apparently, it has been there are many months & has never been repaired, something that gives the area a bit of a downtrodden look.
