I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, which is a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic charm. The spacious rooms were lovely, and the peaceful location made it easy to explore the city and the Cape Peninsula without all the hustle and bustle. The staff was incredibly helpful in giving advice on local attractions, making restaurant reservations, and ensuring I had a relaxing time by the pool. Although the bathrooms are due for renovation soon, it didn't detract much from my experience. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone looking to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, which boasts a smart design and spacious, modern rooms. The peaceful location was perfect for exploring the city and the Cape Peninsula, and I appreciated the chance to unwind by the pool afterward. The multi-lingual staff were incredibly helpful in making restaurant reservations and providing sightseeing tips. One downside was that the bathrooms were set to be renovated in June, but this wasn't a major issue during my visit.
