The hotel has a peaceful atmosphere, located in a quiet suburb that offers easy access to most Cape Town attractions within a short Uber ride. My room had a stunning view of the mountains and was kept very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and provided personalized service, though there were a few hiccups with the dining options. Overall, it's great value for money, but improvements could be made in the breakfast variety.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, tucked away in a quiet suburb yet still conveniently close to most Cape Town attractions. The rooms were kept very clean and offered a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. The staff provided personalized service, making my visit special. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and while the location is great, it isn’t right in the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a good value for the money.

The hotel offers stunning mountain views and the rooms are impeccably clean with classic decor that gives a nice touch. The personalized service from the staff was exceptional, making my stay more enjoyable. However, the location, while quiet, is a bit further from the main attractions than I expected. Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you enjoy a peaceful environment.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only stunning with a mountain view, but they were also kept impeccably clean. The staff was genuinely friendly and offered great service. However, I did find the location a bit quiet, as it was outside the busy center of Cape Town, which might not suit everyone. Overall, it’s a great value for money, especially considering the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet still close to most Cape Town attractions which made getting around super easy. The rooms offered a stunning view of the mountains and were kept very clean. The service was friendly, though not overly personalized. While the location was great, the dining experience left a bit to be desired in terms of variety. All in all, it was certainly good value for money.
