“In my opinion, this hotel's location in Camps Bay is its strongest asset, putting guests steps from the beach and local dining. The spacious, comfortable rooms, especially those with sea views, are ideal for both short stays and longer visits. I believe the hotel is well-suited for travelers who want to be at the heart of Cape Town's beach scene.”
