Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers a stunning view of Table Mountain from the room, but the old air conditioning was not functional. The service is top-notch and sets a high standard for customer service.
This hotel offers a spectacular view of the mountain and features a king-sized bed in the room. However, the air conditioning is old and non-functional. The clear view of Table Mountain is a definite highlight to enjoy during your stay.
I had a fantastic view of Table Mountain from my room. It was breathtaking, but the area didn't feel very safe at night. The service was exceptional, almost like a training ground for the hospitality industry. The location was right in the city center, making it convenient for exploring Cape Town. The dining was good, with sweet biscuits to satisfy my cravings. The facilities were well-maintained, but a bit pricey for the value offered.
