An excellent choice for visiting Cape Town.

Liked:Excellent hotel - comfortable, cozy, with great design and very chic. The staff is really amazing. These guys will do everything to make your stay unforgettable. The breakfast is very generous with a good choice of dishes you can order in addition to what’s served on the buffet. The location is excellent, as it’s close enough to Waterfront, but still outside the crowded areas. Plus there is a great view to Lion’s head.
