8.8Verified guest“My stay was fantastic – the staff were incredibly friendly and always went out of their way to help. The room was very comfortable, with nice extras like a stocked fridge and a coffee maker. Daily housekeeping was excellent. The pool offered a great view of Lion's Head, and the location was ideal – just a two-minute walk to great restaurants and a supermarket, and a 30-minute stroll to the beautiful Clifton beaches. A quick 70 rand Uber gets you to town. Can't wait to come back.”

The room was clean with a comfy bed and a well-kept bathroom; the African-style decor added character. Staff were nice, and the garden and pool area were lovely. Breakfast was tasty and filling.”
