My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The rooms were uniquely styled with a modern 'movie' theme, large, and very comfortable, offering a modern contemporary look with everything we needed. The bed was a little firm but overall a great experience. The service was top-notch with incredible dinner recommendations and friendly staff who arranged trips to Table Mountain and Robben Island directly from the hotel. The location was a nice and relaxing place to chill out between tours, not far from the Harbour and the seapoint promenade. The dining experience was excellent with a lot of choices. Overall, a great value for the money.
