Location & Transportation
Situated at the V&A Waterfront, the hotel is conveniently close to attractions such as the Cape Town Diamond Museum and the Cape Wheel. Public transportation options include bus stops and train stations within walking distance.
“Location truly shines here, placing you steps from the V&A Waterfront and its attractions, while the building's history lends character, and on-site spa adds a touch of indulgence. However, the rooms may not meet everyone's expectations; but the easy access to explore Cape Town makes it a worthwhile consideration.”

A Decent Stay with Room for Improvement
great locationfriendly staffgood breakfastpoor viewfaulty doorbroken air conditioning
The location is excellent for exploring. I found it really handy for getting to the waterfront. The provided breakfast had a good variety of options. The staff, from management to floor staff, were really friendly.
My room lacked a proper view! The door also did not close correctly. The air conditioning didn't work well in my room. I reported the air conditioning issue, but the day team maintenance did not fix it.

The hotel has a location, that worked well. It was near the aquarium. The staff were friendly. I found the breakfast amazing with friendly chef. He prepared the perfect eggs.
The room felt cramped. There was no room to place luggage. The frosted glass bathroom doors provides no privacy. I found no natural view from my room.
