We stayed here for two nights on our return from the Garden Route. It is an excellent location, located up the hill between City Bowl but only 10 minutes' walk into the centre. The hotel is new and well furnished, though our only gripe was the size of the rooms, which was 'bijou'. You will have to be very familiar... More

Was recommended this as we needed two hotels either side of a garden route tour. The first hotel (Victoria junction) was cheaper and less fashionable the other was the fire and ice First impression, you can see why it's the trend place to be seen. But for a hotel guest, the rooms are small- even for a superior rate. The... More

This hotel's expectation created on Internet and reality is as wide as the canyon. The room is so small that you pay an expensive price for a room the size of a Formule one hotel room. The bathroom is so small you hit yourself if you turn. The bed is in such a bad state remember to bring along pills... More

This was our first stop on our 3 week South African honeymoon. We enjoyed staying here, the decor was modern and funky, most of the staff were reasonably friendly and it is well located if you want to stay in Central Cape Town. Breakfast was pretty good, with a chef on hand to cook eggs how you like and a... More
