I am torn between a 3 and 4 here; it‘s a great location. Friendly staff. The breakfast is fantastic. The rooms though are simple; the shower small. And it is beautiful to see the ocean in the morning but it was noisy on the street. We really got to explore Cape Town from here.

Room smelt of dirty drain. Mangement not interested (Facebook more NB). Room overlooking back entrance. Gate needs lots of oil, sounded like a wild zoo every time it opened and closed 24/7. Booking promised breakfast and parking, but these had to be paid for.

Our room was spacious and had a nice view looking out over the ocean. If you cross the street, you can walk along the water and past the scenic lighthouse. The staff is very helpful. The restaurant has delicious food. We especially liked their breakfast. Sometimes it took a while for it to be served, though.

This little hotel is very conveniently situated on Beach Road . There are wonderful restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. The hotel restaurant is good and reasonably priced. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and reception and service friendly and efficient. Sea facing rooms are a real treat with a view of the promenade.
