I was a bit disappointed with the rooms at this hotel as they didn't look as good as in the photos and were a bit dusty. However, the stunning views of Tafelberg made up for it. The location was great for exploring Cape Town's attractions, but being close to a student party spot could get loud. The service was lovely and welcoming, although they entered the room without knocking a few times.
