I booked a standard duplex and did not know that this means the view is down the busy main road in Sea Point so cannot open the sliding doors or windows due to noise. The duplex was on the 4th floor.
I then realised as a Gold member I could have been offered a free upgrade. After chatting to the friendly reception staff and the manager on duty we reached a win-win situation, I just paid in a little bit to get a super upgrade to a penthouse duplex suite on the 5th floor!!! I already booked a very good low season winter's rate so this was an amazing deal.
Amazing large patio at the back (same level as bedroom) with a view of Lion's Head hill and to the front a spectecular view of the Atlantic Ocean. The lounge and kitchen level also had a balcony with a sea view.
I would recommend to rather park on the 1st level as the basement level is very small and tight.
This was a once in a lifetime stay as the hotel will be renovated soon and I am sure it will most likely be much much more expensive then.

There are a few issues with this property. Firstly and most importantly, South Africa has rolling blackouts around two to three times a day. This Property does not have a backup generator at all. This means complete darkness with limited backup lighting - nor do the elevators work during blackouts, sonic you stay there don’t be on the 4th floor. This is not disclosed in their website or on Expedia. Almost all hotels in South Africa have adequate power backups. Secondly, staff are quite unfriendly and unhelpful. It seemed everything was a hassle. I requested a an hour later checkout and was refused without checking their system and the hotel was clearly empty. In addition you cannot charge things at the bar to your room. Small things that may irritate travelers. Room wise, it’s ok but not great. Despite having ‘VIP’ access we were given a room facing the main road in the loud side of the hotel. The cheap plastic blinds don’t block out the sun so you should expect to be awake very early especially in summer. The shower gel in the bathroom had some mold on the bottle. All in all there are much better options on the Atlantic seaboard at that price.

Nice hotel conveniently located in a beautiful part of town. Service was excellent, breakfast was good, room amenities were great. Only issue was the lack of sufficient generator backup during electricity load shedding periods in the area; we were told that the hotel was in the process of getting the issue fixed.

Overall i enjoyed my stay at this wonderful establishment. My only minor issues related to what was included in my booking as free. I had free self parking yet i was asked both on arrival and departure to pay for parking, however on both occasuons when i told the receptionists parking was included they said its ok. I was also supposed ro get a free bottle of wine during my stay which i did not get. Im not sure if this was reflected in the booking that was sent to the hotel from hotels.com.

Sea facing rooms are large. You have a separate lunge and kitchen from the main bedroom and parking is now free.
Breafast is more than enough catering for both hot and cold.
I come here year on year as its a great location and a great seaview

The staff could not have been better but why the dishonesty of showing beachfront location in doctored photos. What a cheap shot.

The view was incredible. The place was very dated and the swimming pool was not very inspiring. Needs an uplift I’d say.

The bungalows are really nice and bathroom very spacious.
The rooms themselves can be a little warm, even with the air conditioning as cold as it will go.
Security regularly go round the bungalows which is reassuring too, however, the flash lights were a little anoying at times.
Breakfast is pretty good, but the process can be a little confusing, eg. having to sign a book to say you've eaten and would you like to tip (we didn't)
the biggest downside is that being the hotel at the bottom of the hill, getting around can take longer, as not all the drivers know where the bungalows are and we did feel like 3rd class citizens at times. We found it easier to get the bus to and from the main car park and walking over.

We only had 1 night but it was very enjoyable - all facilities we required were there. Unfortunate about the load shedding though - but staff tried to inform everyone what was happening and for us to make arrangments

Avoid the room with a city view if possible, room looking onto a busy main road, in a relatively run down area. We upgraded to a duplex luxury suite because of the city view room we were allocated. This room however was not of the standard we had experienced previously. The redeeming feature was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.

Excellent location, great breakfast, nice rooms. Bathroom was a tiny bit outdated looking, but otherwise excelling. The mobile phone they loan you during your stay is especially appreciated.

We booked a deluxe room with balcony and it was a great size for longer stay (12 days) - separate lounge, dining area, small kitchenette and separate bedroom. Lovely being able to sleep with the doors open and listen to the waves - sea view certainly worth it. Overall very happy with our choice and thoroughly enjoyed Cape Town.

This was our second time here, this hotel is great, nice staff, good size rooms, balcony, and good location. There are lots of restaurants, supermarkets, cafes and shops within walking distance. The beach is a 5 minute walk. Laundrette across the road. Breakfast was ok, not much choice and not worth the price. Parking is available.

An enjoyable stay and will return.

Great Location to get around, if you had no car.
Had a problem with our Mattress. Required a double, not 2 singles, and this was changed with no fuss at all.
Turn down service every day - little chocolate and the weather forecast awaited us on our return.
Nice touch.
Would recommend this Hotel
