I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a spectacular view of the bustling aquarium from my room and a big comfy king-size bed. The daily complimentary bottle of drinking water was a nice touch. The location right in front of the Waterfront, just a short walk away, made it super convenient for exploring Cape Town's vibrant atmosphere. However, the dining options were limited, and there were no Thai dishes available on the menu.

My stay at the hotel was truly fantastic! The location is amazing, right in front of the bustling aquarium and with a marvelous view. The rooms are cozy and offer a double bed, which was perfect for a good night's rest. The service was top-notch, with the staff bending over backward to accommodate all our needs, especially at the reception desk. The hotel's location is a definite highlight, being very conveniently close to the V&A Waterfront, which is the most happening place in Cape Town. However, the dining options could be more diverse, and the price was a bit on the higher side. Overall, a wonderful experience!

The hotel is perfectly situated in a prime area of Cape Town, just a short walk from the vibrant V&A Waterfront. The rooms are comfortable and offer a daily complimentary bottle of drinking water, but note that they only have a bathtub and no shower. The service is exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to meet our needs. Enjoy the convenience of being next to the mall and within walking distance of various eateries. The dining options are tasty, although not included. The facilities are top-notch, making for a pleasant stay.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the room with a double bed was a bit cramped for three guests, the impressive bathroom made up for it. The service at the reception desk was exceptional, with staff bending backward to accommodate our needs and requests. The location, right in front of Waterfront, offered a bustling and vibrant stay. However, dining was not included and was a bit of a letdown in terms of value for money.
