I found this hotel to be a truly special place in Cape Town, offering sumptuously decorated rooms with huge beds and spacious bathrooms. The breakfast spread was carefully selected with a mix of healthy and bakery options. The location was amazing, just meters away from the waterfront and an ideal spot for exploring Cape Town, though some noise from movement above could be heard.
