Good place, but some false descriptions
Nice place in a great location. A couple of caveats - the hotel's description states that standard rooms have a balcony. Okay, but it's only about 9 inches wide. Perhaps enough for a smoker standing sideways, but not what one a expects for a balcony. Also, the description on Hotels.com states that they have 3 restaurants and 5 bars. Not so, although there are restaurants on each side of the property.

Great staff, super informative and helpful. Lovely hotel with clean and stylish rooms. Located in a fun area which meant it was quite noisy at night. The light switches need a rethink. Even the guy working there had trouble figuring them out. Would certainly stay here again.

The reception staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a nice location, near a small shopping centre and restaurants. We appreciated the large bathroom and kitchenette with a microwave.

Great location on Kloof Street with variety of dining options. Walking distance to downtown, Long Street, museums and Company's Garden. Waterfront and Table Mountain Cable car is short Uber drive away. Fat Cactus bar (below hotel) is great place for a evening drink upon coming back from the tours. Would highly recommend.

Just average
The room smelt like cigarettes and was not that clean. The bath was massive and took forever to get to a depth to bath and there is water restrictions on Cape Town so was not great.
