In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location — A short walk to Greenmarket Square and the Bo-Kaap, with many attractions, restaurants and bars within easy reach on foot.
  • Beautiful, well-appointed suites — Suites are spacious, clean, and many come with kitchenettes, balconies and mountain or city views – a hit with families and longer stays.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — Guests consistently praise the breakfast, with one noting it was even better than nearby cafés.
  • Personal, helpful service — The owners and team are noted for going out of their way, from arranging car rentals to recommending local kayaking spots and dining.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site facilities — There's no pool or fitness centre – the hotel focuses on rooms, breakfast and service, not resort amenities.
  • Check-out at 11:00 — You'll need to be up and out by 11:00, which may feel early if you're on holiday.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – animals are not permitted.
  • Some rooms may lack balconies — Not all suites have a balcony – if that's a priority, confirm your room choice when booking.
