I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were nice for their privacy, and the main building had such a fun vibe. The views of the mountain and Lions Head were breathtaking. The hotel was beautifully decorated and fully equipped with more than I ever expected. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my time in spectacular Cape Town even more memorable. The location was perfect, with a neighborhood feel yet close to great shops and restaurants. The dining options were varied but could be tastier. Overall, a delightful experience.
