The service was good and the breakfast was decent. the location was convenient to nearby attractions and transportation.

The room was small and dated, and the bathroom was not as clean as I would have liked. it was not a very comfortable stay and I would look for other options in the future.

The hotel's attention to detail is exceptional, with beautifully decorated rooms and comfortable beds. The staff, especially the owner, Graziella, are friendly and helpful, making you feel at home. The location is ideal, situated between downtown and the beaches, and a short walk from the sea promenade. Getting to the V&A Waterfront is a breeze, taking only about 25 minutes.

None of the guest reviews mentioned any areas for improvement, so everything was great!

Great location close to beaches and downtown with friendly staff who were helpful in planning our trip. The Italian host's warm hospitality made us feel at home. The breakfast had tasty fresh juices and delicious food.

The noise of the fridge which could bother light sleepers. However, earplugs were provided to help with that.

I had a truly enjoyable stay at this hotel in Cape Town. The attention to detail and the beautiful furnishings in the rooms added a touch of luxury to my experience. The value for money was excellent, and I was impressed with the affordable prices. The location was perfect, allowing me to easily reach both the V&A Waterfront and the Sea Point promenade in a short time. The hotel's proximity to the center was also a major plus point. Additionally, the staff provided exceptional service, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of. Lastly, the breakfast was delicious and satisfying, ensuring I started my day off right.

Nothing to complain about.

the rooms were beautifully decorated with quirky African art, and the family suite was perfect for my needs. the breakfast was especially delicious, a great start to my day. From my location, it was easy to get to the V & A Waterfront in about 25 minutes on foot.

There was a bit of noise at night due to the fridge, but otherwise, the stay was wonderful.
