8.4Verified guest“Fantastic spot! The rooms were so lovely I didn't want to leave. It's very close to the Waterfront, my favourite part of Cape Town. Management is super friendly, and they even have European plug points. Nice touches like flowers and wine glasses. Breakfast is excellent, and getting transport from Main Road just metres away is easy. I loved it and would choose it again if I return.”
