    By and large, it was great place for sightseeing in Cape Town, had much fun and met genuinely helpful staff in the breakfast and dinner service. The location was ideal and exceptionally nice, not very far from Bree Street. Nothing too much trouble, greatly enjoyed our stay.

    The staff was very friendly, the location was outstanding, and the breakfast and room service food is excellent!

    The price of the room was too high for the quality provided.

    Friendly staff. Good food. Convenient location for business.

    Airport shuttle service very over-priced. Room rates too high for the standard of hotel but this is a problem with most South African hotels.

    fantastic room
    helpful staff
    excellent breakfast
    unreplenished toiletries

    We played golf at Arabella with amazing views and enjoyed shopping nearby. The breakfast was excellent and super nice team. The free shuttle made it easy to explore. Just keep in mind, the wifi could use a boost.

    Had an issue with toiletries not always being replenished, but the staff sorted it out quickly.

    The service was unbelievable. It was amazing. They have a shuttle service from the hotel to the V&A waterfront which is really convenient. The location of this hotel is great. We really enjoyed our stay here.

    A luxury hotel like this should have free wifi in certain areas at least.
