In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Contemporary split-level lofts — The bi-level loft rooms are a standout—spacious, modern, and well-equipped, with kitchenettes and coffee machines.
  • Strong facilities and activities — Guests can use the outdoor pool, spa, fitness centre, and a range of activities from diving to golf.
  • Location in Tamboerskloof — Close to Kloof Street's shops and restaurants, and within reach of Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • On-site parking is limited — While parking is available, it may be tight given the hotel's urban location. Arrive early or plan alternatives.
  • The vibe skews younger and livelier — The design and atmosphere may be less suited to those seeking a quiet, traditional hotel experience. Some guests noted it was relatively quiet, but the hotel also has a night club and live entertainment.
  • Check-out window starts very early — Check-out is from 06:00 to 11:00, which may feel early for those wanting a leisurely morning before leaving.
