Good stay overall. Breakfast service could be a bit haphazard and we needed to love rooms because of a broken AC. That said, staff helped out quickly and politely.

Great room (spacious, clean, quiet) overlooking the square, fantastic staff (friendly, helpful, courteous), impressive breakfast (buffet and cooked), and ‘can’t be beaten’ location (in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, seconds from good restaurants and bars). What’s there not to like !? We’ll be back.

Overall the stay was good. Room was clean, spacious (had the loft room). Service was extremely friendly, lovely and personable (especially the front desk staff). They make it seem effortless.
Location is excellent, right in the heart of the V&A Waterfront area right on the dock.
Breakfast was okay. Disappointing that there was only a small selection of fruit and no freshly squeezed juices (especially in South Africa). The hotel restaurant closes from 12:00PM to 1:00PM, during this time you can’t order any food.
Otherwise there are no amenities on the hotel site! This is not made obvious. You need to travel across the street to the sister hotel for the pool.
The front desk helped arrange a transfer from Cape Town International airport which was excellent and private transfers on demand which was also very convenient.
