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.”

I really appreciated the prompt housekeeping service. Our room was cleaned each day. the staff were friendly (melissa at breakfast was especially helpful). i found it useful that the hotel offered a shuttle to collect a rental car (very convenient).

a reflective stay at the hotel
wide selection breakfast beach location location gym equipment gym water pressure shower padel courts privacy bathroom floor shower
I found the breakfast to be quite good with a wide selection available. the location was across from the beach. the gym had adequate equipment for a workout. I noted three treadmills.
The shower pressure was not consistent. the room i had was next to the padel courts. Privacy was somewhat compromised because of the nets. the bathroom floor got wet easily when using the shower. It was a small inconvenience.
