Location : Finding this place was quite a breeze. A 10-min walk to the mall and a 5-min stroll to Jonker Walk (though we took the wrong turning and ended walking the long way). Room: We took the Brighton suite with an outdoor jacuzzi. Room is spacious, however, note that the privacy screen in the bathroom could be a tad... More

This is a beautiful, well kept, clean, and comfy hotel, in a fantastic location right next to Jonker Walk. The rooms are nicely done, and quite spacious. My only complaint is that I really don't think that the amount I paid for 2 nights warrants it. One great thing about the place though is the restaurant on the roof, and... More

We only stayed one night, but the hotel was warm and welcoming especially the front desk. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast decent. They had some modern decor and the rooms were big. We did have trouble figuring out the shower controls/warm water, but we finally figured it out. Vert close to Jonkers Street which is great at night.

The hotel has a pleasant ambience, with modern decor. The room is spacious and clean. The water jet system in the toilet provides an invigorating bath experience. The staff are helpful, courteous and friendly. Our room was ready when we arrived around 12 noon and had early check-in. The hotel is within walking distance to the famous Jonker Street, about...

We stayed one night hear just before Easter, mid-week. The rooms we had (1 for us, 1 for our friends) were the Riley and the Windsor. Both were lovely - big, well-appointed, comfortable and clean. Windsor had 2 queen beds plus a sofa bed, so easily big enough for a family with 2 or 3 kids. The bathrooms were fabulous... More
