Staff were great. Everything was top. A little too quiet for my liking, but it was very nice. Pool deck was enjoyable when it wasn’t windy. I would recommend a hot tub instead of a pool. The pool is a hot tub size and was chilly.

Lovely hotel
I would definitely stay here again if I was in Cape Town. The location is very good for restaurants and bars. The hotel was also clean and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast selection and restaurant attached to the hotel was also good!

Nos gustó mucho hospedarnos en este hotel. El diseño & decoración es muy original & acogedora. El hotel tiene poco tiempo por lo que todo es nuevo. Se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad, cerca de restaurantes, tiendas & lugares turísticos. Nosotros estuvimos en el bus de city sightseeing & estaba la parada a 2 min a pie. El cuarto es de buen tamaño. La cama & almohadas muy cómodas. Agregaría una caja fuerte & un tocador afuera del baño, al igual que espacio en el baño para guardar cosas, ya que no hay ningún espacio designado para eso en el baño. El personal de recepción muy amable. El desayuno es rico pero con pocas opciones. Un día mi esposo quiso agregar espinacas a su huevo (pagando extra) & el mesero nos comentó que el chef había negado ese requisito. Esto no nos gustó. El servicio del restaurante es muy lento. El rooftop es muy lindo & cómodo. Bebidas del bar deliciosas, Ash el bartender súper amable & amigable. Mejoraría la limpieza diaria de los cuartos, en especial el baño & regadera. El precio del hotel se me hizo un poco elevado, pero a comparación de los hoteles que hay en Cape Town, se me hizo razonable.

Das Hotel selbst ist schön, das Bett war super und alles ist geschmackvoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Es gab zwar eine Küche, aber wenig geeignetes Equipment, um selber zu kochen. Uns hat irritiert, wie wenige Steckdosen es gab - aber das ist ein Detail. Der Pool ist extrem gut fotografiert, in Wirklichkeit hat er das Ausmaß einer größeren Badewanne. Die Lage ist einerseits genial, weil so zentral. Aber gegenüber vom Hotel ist eine Bar, in der Gäste bis nachts Bier trinken. Ohne Ohrstöpsel ging es für uns nicht, aber man muss auch dazusagen, dass das in Cape Town in der Innenstadt oft so ist, da die Fenster den Straßenlärm nicht gut isolieren. Wir haben uns unterm Strich sehr wohl gefühlt, die Mitarbeiter waren super nett und hilfsbereit und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder

Lovely
Wonderful and a little quirky place. Nice rooftop bar with dipping pool. Spacious room with kitchen. Decent breakfast next door at The Wes. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again if I’m fortunate enough to come back to Cape Town. I absolutely loved it. The only little minus was the large shower head. I think that with the water pressure, a handheld shower head would be better.

Fantastisch hotel op een goede locatie en met geweldig personeel. De rooftop met zwembad is heerlijk om over de stad uit te kijken tijdens een sundowner. Ultiem van genoten. De kamers zijn ruim en super sfeervol ingericht. Net als de rest van het hotel. Als ik iets zou moeten verbeteren zou het een iets uitgebreidere selectie zijn van al la carte gerechten bij het ontbijt. Maar het buffet was meer dan genoeg. Ik kom hier zeker vaker terug voor de locatie, sfeer en het personeel!
