Le Riad Monceau

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at Riad Monceau and had a fantastic experience! The breakfast was wonderful, with a great selection of options. The staff were absolutely delightful - cheerful, friendly, happy, and super helpful. Special shoutout to two staff members Shopihan & Chaymai who went above and beyond! Live entertainment was very enjoyable. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, which added to the overall comfort of our stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others. One suggestion for improvement: playing some light/subtle background music during breakfast time could enhance the ambiance and uplift the mood. Given the hotel's boutique charm, this small touch would fit perfectly. Overall, we’re so impressed with Riad Monceau and can't wait to return!" 😊👍 Wege & Sumitra Edinburgh"

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"The stay at Taj was just amazing. The staff were so friendly, felt like home. The facilities, services, food, ambience, top notch! Really loved the idols (lord idols) at the entrance as the decor😍 The indoor pool was heated, and fun given the rainy condition during the stay. Location is really good, with pretty streets at a walking distance. Masala tea in the morning was cherry on top. Would definitely come again! "
