This was a lovely hotel to stay in. The reception is currently undergoing renovation, but there are plenty of staff on hand to guide you. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive. The breakfast is fantastic - it offers both a buffet and a menu to order from. The restaurant on site is also great for dinner, with the service being particularly good. Location wise, this hotel is near the starting point for hiking up the Lion's Head, and is also near the Table Mountain cable car station. I would definitely stay here again when next in Cape Town!

The hotel is lovely! It is clean, feels very safe, and the staff is wonderful! It is located in a small neighborhood which I liked, but was close to everything with a short 10 min Uber ride. Some restaurants were within a 5-15 minute walk which were very good. While we were there, there was 1 issue with a water pipe. A bit of an inconvenience but did not last more than 1 day.

Nice pool, a bit busy road and weird woke up

Nice and confortable hotel. Road in front of the hotel a bit too busy. Nice pool and good service. However, during my stay woke up one night when someone got into my room although it was double-locked. Got really scared and called to the reception, they blaimed it was the housekeeping. Nothing was gone but still I would expect that the door cannot be opened when it is double-locked.
