    We absolutely loved this place! The location was perfect, as it was close to all the major attractions and just a short distance from the city centre. It was also conveniently situated near the Cavendish Square shopping centre and other shops. The room service was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The hotel amenities were impressive, with everything from free toiletries to electric blankets provided. The carpeted and parquet floors added a touch of elegance, and we enjoyed dining at the on-site restaurant. The leisure facilities, including the swimming pool, were top-notch, and the free Wi-Fi was a bonus. We also appreciated the availability of a car park and the convenience of an airport shuttle.

    We highly recommend this place to anyone.

    This historic guest house in Cape Town offers a peaceful retreat with meticulously maintained gardens. The property manager, Monika, is warm and engaging, serving delightful breakfasts with fresh fruit, pastries. The authentic atmosphere, absence of TVs and aircon, and the presence of interesting history and architecture make this a unique and special experience.

    Everything was fantastic.

    Great reading rooms with a nice balcony. Beautiful old fashioned house with creaks and squeaks that give it character.

    The bathrooms were not en-suite, which was not convenient, especially during the night. there was no fixed time for breakfast, so we had to wait for a long time both days.

    This hotel is conveniently located near shopping centres, making it easy to hit the shops or grab a bite to eat. It's also not far from the city centre and major attractions, perfect for exploring the local area. Guests enjoyed the spacious rooms and found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Many praised the delicious breakfasts and comfortable beds.

    The hotel's lock and gate could be difficult to use at times, causing inconvenience for some guests.

    The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable to stay in. The location of the hotel was very convenient since it was close to major roads and landmarks. the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming towards us during the stay.

    The breakfast experience was not up to par as the food was served cold and unappetizing. the description of the room was unclear which left us confused and frustrated.
