I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and had a terrace that led directly to the pool, which was a major perk. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. However, the overall room quality didn’t quite match what I expected based on the pictures I saw online. Also, the dining options were good but could use a bit more variety to really impress. Overall, it offers solid value for money, but with room for improvement.

The hotel boasts a stunning seaside period design, coupled with easy access to shops and restaurants. While I loved the beautiful balcony views and the feeling of being at home, the lack of an en suite bathroom was a downside. Overall, it's an excellent place to stay in Cape Town for those wanting a clean and cozy experience.

The hotel had a charming location in the lovely Fresnaye neighborhood, feeling more like a luxurious home than a typical hotel. The rooms were spacious and had an enormous bed, but the views and overall setting were a bit underwhelming compared to what I'd expected. The staff were friendly and made me feel right at home, although some seemed new to their roles. Overall, it was decent value for money considering the amenities available.
