Excellent choice for a hotel. It is a 2 minute walk to the V & A harbor but you are out of the hustle and bustle and noise of the harbor. The junior suite was spacious with nice extra touches like cookies and a welcome chocolate on the pillow. They replaced linens every day and water bottles. The breakfast buffet was excellent with hot choices like made to order eggs, excellent fresh fruit and pastries as well as many other things. We ate dinner one night at the hotel and it was excellent. The staff was excellent. So friendly and helpful and always smiling.

You’re greeted with a warm smile. Very clean property and close to everything. All the staff are super nice, helpful, and willing to help with you anything. Especially at the front desk Andile, he helped my family with any questions, upgrading or any accommodations I needed. This location is perfect to the shops, harbor and have taxis readily available at the front door. Property was super clean and breakfast in the morning was scrumptious. My kids played in the pool, it was clean. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
