This was an expensive hotel and we were underwhelmed by the service. Our room was not cleaned in a timely manner so we asked for it to be cleaned in the morning the next day, but they had not cleaned it be 3pm when we got back. The service in the bar was slow when we were seated outdoors. Disappointing. Also, the soundproofing between rooms was poor considering the recent refurbishment.

Great place to stay. Not much to complain about. Can do without the hotel manager nagging about a $3 dollar tourism levy which can be settled at anytime.

The property is very close to the cruise terminal and waterfront. It is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast buffet was (according to husband) the best one he has ever had.

We stayed there for a week in one room with 2 adults and 2 kids. Very comfortable room. We had breakfast included and the buffet was endless. Very classy feel throughout the hotel. Short walk to the harbourfront but they also offered hourly shuttles. Location was very convenient for all our tours and just walking around the town. We didn't use the pool - I can comment that it wasn't huge but it seemed adequate. I would definitely stay there again!

Happy with hotel

Was very impressed we were able to get our room on arrival in the morning after a long night flight. We were very grateful as we were very tired. Breakfast was fantastic Bedroom a little tired could go with a bit of a spruce up.

Excellent Hotel

Our stay was fabulous at this beautiful property. All the employees were so friendly and helpful. The meals at Stella were delicious. The sweet and spicy margaritas were wonderful. The wait staff were excellent. The property, rooms and lobby were extremely clean and well kept. I enjoyed one of the best massages at the spa by Lolisa! Special thanks to: John, Anthony the manager and Serina. Also, Freddy the shuttle driver was so friendly and helpful. You must select this hotel for your stay in Cape Town!

The hotel location was excellent. Breakfast was very good. The staff were also good in general, except the lady who made egg during breakfast. The hotel rooms were not sound proof, not even sound resistant. You can hear everything from the corridors, neighboring rooms, noise from outside, virtually everything. Not comfortable to work or sleep due to noise.
