I stayed three nights at the hotel of work and some downtime. The hotel although well located has seen better days. The service makes up for this and it is a good hotel for short stays.

The staff were great. Couldnt be more helpful. Hotel was fine. Maybe due to SA power generation issues but the AC made a noise, but didnt seem to be cold. Other slight negative was that the hotel name says its at the Waterfront. But we were advised it wasnt safe to walk anywhere from hotel so had to rely extensively on Ubers. Which were very cheap. Overall would recommend.

Good Value
The breakfast and service is excellent! I just got off a cruise ship and my shower is smaller and there's no electric outlets in the bathroom. Its a good value and its a 20 minute walk to the V & A Waterfront

All in all cannot fault the hotel. Great condition, food is good and staff are very helpful. I stayed for 11 nights along with 4 colleagues for a work trip. Would have given 5 starts except all of my colleagues received a welcome gift and complimentary mid-stay gift and I received nothing
