We absolutely loved this property. The hotel itself is wonderful, we loved our spacious room and the staff was incredible, always ready to help and make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property is in a very popular area, lots of night life, if you are early to bed, we recommend requesting a room away from the front of the hotel, which can be noisy. Great breakfast offered in a three different restaurants very close, plus an amazing amount of good restaurants in general. We highly recommend the property.

The room was in very good condition and clean. There were kitchenette facilities. The staff were very friendly. Even let me check in a little early. Instead of on site breakfast they offer Bouchers for three local chic brunch spot spots which open from 7 to 12. They are Hollywood style with modern Instagram style breakfast options. This is quite a nifty idea, all three places are within walking distance. Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and bottled water are all available and good quality. There is a coffee station where you can make a freshly ground brew whenever you want.

Great location on Kloof Street with variety of dining options. Walking distance to downtown, Long Street, museums and Company's Garden. Waterfront and Table Mountain Cable car is short Uber drive away. Fat Cactus bar (below hotel) is great place for a evening drink upon coming back from the tours. Would highly recommend.
