Cozy stay with great vibes
The room was super comfy, and the atmosphere felt really homey. The staff were awesome, treating us like family. The made-to-order breakfast was a highlight, especially the juices! Just a heads-up, there weren't any handrails on some steps, which made it a bit tricky at times.

The hotel offered an impressive array of breakfast options.
I found the noise from the street disturbing, which made it hard to relax. Additionally, the location was inconvenient as getting to popular attractions involved long Uber rides. It was frustrating to have to add extra time to our plans, especially when dining out.

Stylish boutique hotel with amazing views of Table Mountain. Location requires short Uber rides to waterfront. Small pool area could use better maintenance. We enjoyed a walking tour nearby, which was great.

My stay was truly enjoyable, enhanced by stunning views of Table Mountain from my clean and comfortable room. The hotel is nestled conveniently by the mountains, and I found it easy to walk to nearby Kloof Street for dining and shopping.

Perfect for a peaceful getaway
The service was extraordinary. The staff went above and beyond to celebrate our special occasion, even bringing us a complimentary bottle of wine to our room upon arrival.
It was a bit on the pricey side but honestly worth it.

The room had stunning views of Table Mountain, making it a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Breakfast included made-to-order options that were both plentiful and delicious, enhancing the overall experience.
The hotel’s distance from major attractions, like the Waterfront, meant relying on Ubers, which could become a hassle over time. Additionally, sound insulation in the rooms was subpar, leading to disturbances from street noise and neighboring guests, which detracted from the peace one might expect from a boutique hotel.
