The property was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful at every turn. My wife and I would happily stay here again without hesitation.
It would be a great place to book with a few couples for a cozy spot near nightlife.

I like a comfortable, friendly place to stay in Cape Town before I rent an apartment for the rest of my stay. This was well located, not too close to the Waterfront busy area but not too far away.

Lovely Boutique Hotel!
What a lovely boutique hotel in Cape Town! We loved the style of the room, the delicious breakfast and the friendly service. We were on the first floor and were able to hear people moving around upstairs, so I would request an upstairs room if I were staying again.

Très bon choix. Maison centenaire magnifique avec toutes les commodités de la modernité. Un petit moins pour le bruit tôt le matin par les autres occupants qui oublient que d'autres dorment encore. À venir sans hésitation!

Sehr freundliches Personal, tolle Zimmer und moderne Bäder. Individuelles leckeres Frühstück.
Die Waterfront ist fußläufig erreichbar und bietet vielfältige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Märkte zum shoppen (vor allem am Wochenende).
Diese Unterkunft kann ich jedem wärmstens empfehlen.
