Our room was more like an apartment than a room. Very big and spacious, with a lounge overlooking the ocean. The bed was extremely comfortable and great quality linen. The balcony is lovely to kick bqck with a book and glass of wine and enjoy the incredible views. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. They have the best muesli I have ever tasted as part of the breakfast spread!

Our bedroom was right below the kitchen area so unfortunately you could hear preparations upstairs from quite early on. Would have preferred the bedroom to be in the front area overlooking the ocean as you wake up and the lounge at the back!

Just the BIG wow factor as you walk through the lobby and another one when you go to your room!! Super amazing in every way, views, location, food, service, super clean and lovely hosts. Big rooms we extended our stay a few days and only had to leave when there was not availability on the last day we wanted to extend to. We tried 2 different room types, both amazing. Was offered the suite on the last day but couldn't take that. Maybe next time! Look forward to return, lovely host always greeting people, makes it very personal, thank you.

Not anything really!! ....maybe need some gentle music in the background. Staff always put some on when asked them at breakfast and dinner. The upgrading that is due to be completed by August would take care of that I'm sure. Otherwise don't know how much it could possibly improve! Super nice place.

I loved the staff so much, the service was one of the best I’ve ever received at a hotel. Every time we came in we were offered cups of tea or coffee with cake, refreshment drinks etc and at breakfast they were very attentive and offered little complimentary snacks too (alongside the standard breakfast you could order). It’s the most beautiful view and the hotel is very well cared for. I was truly gutted when we couldn’t stay any longer than one night as it was full. I am going to try and stay again in January when I’m back in Cape Town.

Absolutely phenomenal stay here! I'd be bold enough to say it has been our best hotel experience ever. Aside from our room being beautiful and massive, evening turn down and little details made it next level. The location is incredible, the view is incredible, the breakfast is incredible and the staff are wonderful, attentive & friendly. The Breakfast menu is extensive & the fruit plates & smoothies were always a good start to the day. The Hotel is close to the promenade which makes it a nice walk along the promenade to seafront restaurants, a short drive to the waterfront & close enough to Lions head for a hike from the hotel. The team here really made our stay more than just a few nights in a hotel! While you're by the pool be sure to try a Clarendon sling or an "oh my"! This hotel is worth every penny, definitely our new favourite when Visiting Cape Town!

Absolutely Nothing.

The staff was very friendly. The room size is very comfortable and we absolutely enjoyed the balcony with the beautiful sea view.

Breakfast was not so great, with limited variety. The property had indicated that lunch service is available but upon arrival, after a 6hrs flight, we were told that this service was unavailable. The real let down for me was that bottled water is not provided in the room, it is seen as a mini bar item to be paid for (at quite a premium price). This should be a complimentary standard, with no limit, for such an establishment.

Exceptional location, and incredibly friendly staff. Breakfast, check-in, the quietness and everything was perfect. The service, friendliness and engagement by the staff are 100%. This is the place to be.

Nothing not to like. Attention to detail, amenities and even the stock of the bar was perfect.
