The hotel is from a different era and is built to be luxurious and comfortable. The rooms are very large and quiet. You sometimes feel as if your alone in the building even though the hotel is bustling when you go into public areas. The beds offer a very comfortable sleep. The service was superb. The views were also amazing!

I loved the glass elevator. It shows the most beautiful views of Cape Town. I have to keep going up and down taking photos and videos. The rooms are huge, air con works well and is not noisy. My room had a bath tub which I enjoyed soaking myself for an hour after a long day. The breakfast has a variety to cater for everyone. The fish offered during breakfast in one of the mornings was super yummy. The hotel is located close to everything (train, bus, taxis, conference centre, long street night life, restaurants etc).

The food at the restaurant in the evening was exquisite! The service of staff was friendly and helpful. However, the total experience was underwhelming.

I had a cold shower (I was not going to wait longer than 15 minutes to get hot water running). When is was my wife's turn to shower in the evening I called the front desk who sent Maintenance to fix the problem. After two visits by Maintenance and 20 minutes - miraculously there was hot water. Then when we wanted to shower in the morning the water remained cold again.

It appears that the hotel does not have a keen eye on maintenance. For example, the soap dispenser was dangling from the wall.

In the morning we ordered Americanos. They arrived in paper cups and not ceramic. I have never experienced with a hotel of this class to serve coffee in the rooms in paper cups.

The hotel needs a light renovation. The rooms and toilet needs fresh coat of paint. The dinner buffet was very basic. The breakfast was average and the staff weren't very helpful. The staff was only helpful to the white customers. The pool was cold, wish it could warm in winter. The location is great an the view from the 28th floor was amazing.

Surprised there is no separate shower/bath.

Room was very spacious though and the view was incredible. I was in the 30th floor.

Great buffet breakfast ????

One of the best hotels in Cape Town. Located perfectly so you can get around easily to where you need to be. Love the old retro look, don't change it at all.

Everything was fantastic. The service, in particular, was exceptional. Only issue for some might be distance from Water Front. But it is 15 minute walk.
