Liked: Amenities
Staff all very helpful and friendly, remembering breakfast tea preferences without being asked. Lots of advice from front of house and doormen about various places of interest. Room clean, set up as single beds as I was lone traveller, but happy to make it into double as my preference. Bathroom clean, fresh towels every day, could improve shower curtain though to glass side instead. (My only complaint) again personal preference. Two minutes to sea front. Restaurant attached very cheerful, staff singing Happy Birthday to guests and occasional burst of line dancing, all good family friendly fun. I would certainly recommend and return.

Disliked: Amenities
We recently stayed at this hotel, and we had a mix feeling. On the positive side, the staff and service during breakfast were outstanding. We enjoyed the food and the friendly people working in the kitchen and serving, the likes of Pearl, Maureen, Sami, Kua.. (I forget her full name, but she works in the kitchen). However, on the downside, I must express our disappointment with the room service. Throughout my stay, I consistently encountered issues such as missing towels, shompoo, water bottle... etc. Regrettably, I found myself having to contact the reception almost every day to request room service. I had hoped that these concerns would be resolved promptly after my initial call, but unfortunately, this was not the case. Additionally, I expressed a desire to change room due to my dissatisfaction with the location, but this request was not fulfilled. The high hotel room fee does not align with the level of service provided. While there were positive aspects, the recurring issues with room service and the unmet room change request left a lasting negative impression on my stay.

The hotel that shines like a great diamond
This is a highly polished hotel set in a safe area of Cape Town. The staff do glisten in any light. Without exception they are all friendly and attentive - I know because I saw them interacting with other guests and we all experienced their polished service standards. They are well motivated and it shows. Be there to know that each feels part of the team striving to deliver a warm and friendly experience for their guests.

After flying for 21 hours we were told the hotel was overbooked and we didn't have a room. Say what??? We had made our reservation 8 plus months in advance, so hard to understand. The good news is we were booked at a sister property, Fire & Ice. Not as nice a location, but we made it work. Lost of day of sightseeing due to having to transfer back to original property. The Front Desk was excellent at arranging our transportation to new property and back again, but change of hotel added unwanted stress to our vacation. The property is older and housekeeping was a little slow in cleaning room. Didn't show up at all on day 1. We had to dump our trash ourselves. The location is excellent, close to 2 grocery stores: Pick N Pay and Checkers. Pick N Pay better value for the money. 1 block from Hop On Hop Off bus stop. Liquor store 1 block away. Several restaurants nearby. 1 block from the beach. Overall, good value for price, but don't expect a fancy room because it is definitely dated.
