Great home away from home in Cape Town! Convenient location, close to restaurants and the waterfront. We had a great view of the Signal Hill and Lion's Head. The apartment gave our family plenty of room to spread out. We really enjoyed our time here.
Centrally located in the heart of Cape Town, this hotel is conveniently close to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. All the staff are friendly, kind and very helpful. The view from their roof top bar is simply stunning. I will defnitely book my next Cape Town visit at this hotel again.

Great for a short stay, really enjoyed having our own little apartment in a super convenient area, staff were great and came with way more amenities than expected!
Close to restaurants and the Cape Town wharf, but we were cautioned about walking around at night due to safety concerns. Staff were helpful and friendly, particularly Talent, our concierge.
A great apartment in a great location. Super safe with lots of security at the front door and facial recognition to enter.
The apartment was exactly as described and I got a personal check in and taken to the apartment. All cooking facilities were available and the added bonus of a washing machine. I was in town for the marathon so it was great to be able to wash my kit before heading home.

This is one of my favourite apartment hotels ever in Cape Town. Great location, welcoming, kind and professional staff, stellar security and amenities. I truly felt at home and always safe. Activities and surrounding areas are just a walk away from the hotel too or a ride away. Our host Laz was honestly the best, always made us feel comfortable and safe, with top recommendations of things to do. I will definitely be back!
