Let me start by saying that we slept exceptionally well. The room was clean and the bed was cozy. The antique elevator is definitely an experience.

Overall though, the rest of the experience was a little underwhelming. The room had two windows, one gave on a very small and dark staircase. The other faced a wall and a gutter.

Parking is a complete gamble. There is not enough space to accommodate all guests and groups will be given priority over solo travellers and couples. So you might have to park at the pick n pay parking a few blocks away (plan to check-in before dark). Although the hotel will send you there to park, be aware that this is not covered or discounted so expect to pay R100 for this per night.

The free breakfast is a la carte and covers 1 coffee and 1 breakfast item... regardless of the cost which also means that you will be charged for water and that R15 extra bacon if you want this on your R45 flapjacks... which at that stage just felt like another slap.

I'm not usually one to write reviews about the little inconveniences but in this instance, there were too many inconsistencies and frustrations for us to enjoy ourselves.

What a shame to be served by Presley at their roof top bar. Some feedback to owners/ management that they have a staff that is arrogant, prefers the sound of his own voice and isn’t open to feedback or input from clients. He over promises and under delivers, speaking over clients when they bring up concerns and undermines feed back. Would definitely not recommend especially any friends visiting Cape Town that unfortunately was part of the experience that day. Not a great way to represent a restuarant and a very low even mediocre standard of service. Would have preferred to spend our money somewhere else.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I liked the decor of the hotel, especially the Grand Daddy Suite, which is a welcome break from the cookie cutter large hotel chains that I’m used to. The breakfast buffet only got put out at 08:30, which is when some people were already leaving the restaurant, but there were fortunately ala carte options included in the room price, which was neither bad nor amazing. The rooftop bar is also lively and fun. WiFi reception in my suite was intermittent so ended up using my own mobile data hotspot.
I’ll probably return to the hotel though, it’s a cool spot.

We were 6 people wanting to enjoy a relaxing lunch as Tiger's Milk was closed and we wanted to relax before we attended a show at The Wave theatre.
Well, Firstly our waiter had an attitude because he was apparently the only waiter on duty.
We had to ask him for glasses for our beers, my friend's daughter ordered a coke, and he had a problem with that also.
The food was very poor. I had blood sipping from my steak.
We were 3 who ordered steak. We got it with only old, refried chips, thats all. No salad, vegetables or an onion ring.
My friend ordered a burger, which she asked to be well done. It was received half raw,
We didn't trust sending the food back, as we didn't trust that the waiter wont sabotage our meals.
My friend waited 40 minutes for a coffee which came cold and without sugar . He asked for sugar, for which we're still waiting.
The barman was very nice and even assisted with our drinks.
Very disappointed. Will not vist again

We had dinner at the top floor, both the service and the food was very good. Some of the cocktails could use more flavour (like more of the flavouring like sirups, etc) but otherwise cannot complain
