At the moment I cannot recommend this place. It is undergoing major renovations so the entire property is surrounded by scaffolding with some industrial outside curtains to try to keep the dust down. There is no restaurant, no bar, no lobby. All you get is an ok room and a narrow walkway into the property that stinks of smoke because that is where all the smokers can congregate. There are many nice hotels in Cape Town and I moved to one after cutting my booked stay at the City Lodge short.

Even though the hotel is undergoing a huge remodel, my room was very clean, bed was comfortable and the staff kind and helpful. Currently there is no on site restaurant so they have some food in the reception area in a cold refrigerator. It looks like they’ve made breakfast arrangements with a nearby restaurant. It is about a 3-5 minute walk and I cannot speak to the food there. I walked to the V & A waterfront for my meals as there are likely over a hundred choices. The location seems quite safe and it takes about 12-18 minutes to walk to the V & A wharf where you can eat, shop and launch for various boat excursions like Roben Island. I would stay here again and look forward to seeing the completed restaurant, pool and gym.

This is a good location to walk to and from the V & A waterfront. It’s probably a 10-15 minute walk. There is a path with clear signs that lead you there without having to walk in traffic. This is written November 20, 2024 and they are doing extensive remodeling so there is no gym, pool or restaurant. Since I workout every morning that was a disappointment for me. I hope that once it is done it will be a nice edition to the hotel. Staff very kind and helpful. I would rate them as excellent.

shame about loss of relaxation facilities
restaurant and leisure facilities closed. alternatives offered by management for eating in room and adjacent restaurant which I didn’t use. hotel across road had good and reasonably priced menu which I found more than acceptable, otherwise evening dining required long walk to V&A or Uber (reliable and cheap). rooms recently updated clean, bright and fresh with kettle and posh coffee maker. very efficient A/C, exceptionally helpful and cheerful staff coped well with cramped mini reception facility. enjoyed my stay but advertised relaxation facilities unavailable and there didn’t seem any chance of returning when work finishes (splash pool and garden) as area now very cramped.

Good location and pleasant rooms, although storage space is very limited and the outlook was poor - containers and a building site. However, a major problem was that, although I had been advised 8 or 9 months ago that there was construction work going on this did not explicitly say that the swimming pool was out of action or that there would be no food available in the hotel (apart from a vending machine for crisps etc. in reception). As a single female I did not feel safe going out alone in the evenings in Cape Town so had a miserable time living off sandwiches in my room for a week. Had they been more honest and upfront I would have cancelled and stayed elsewhere. There was no apology or compensation offered.

Not only is the hotel undergoing massive construction, the walls are paper thin, I can hear absolutely everything in the hallways and in other rooms, house keeping work me up twice barging in even tho I loudly shouted no thank you (there are no signs to hang on the door to decline housekeeping and there are no deadbolts on the hotel doors) -- who does this at 8:30am?!?!! This is grossly overpriced hotel for what we actually get -- overall poor experience sadly

Avoid until renovations have finished.
Hotel was being renovated. I only receives this info after booking. First room i was put in was on ground floor with a window that wouldn't lock. I asked for a different room. New room was ok, but had rubbish from previous guests under the bed. Staff very helpful, but given the state of the hotel, it was massively over priced. No restaurant/gym/business centre.

Everything was good despite the ongoing construction. The only thing that was disappointing was that there was no ice available at the hotel (though the excellent staff at the front desk got us ice from outside). Ms. Nande and Mr. Siyabulela need to be specially mentioned for going the extra mile. Ms. Nande was always willing and eager to help. And always with a smile.
