Otimo!!!

O Local é ótimo! Quarto lindo e confortável. Fomos bastante bem atendidos! O local tem uma vista linda, com ótimos restaurantes ao redor. Algo distante do Waterfront, bem próximo da table mountain. Internet funciona intermitentemente no quarto. Ótimo local para ficar!!! Recomendo!!!

Terrific boutique lodging in Gardens area

This small lodging is perfectly situated in Gardens district of Cape Town. Rooms are nice with good wifi and selection of TV channels. Also equipped with kitchenette. Best of all is owner Stephan who is wonderfu to deal with. He's super prompt with email queries. And will happily provide recommendations re where to eat and what to see and do.

Hotel com cara de casa

Super atendimento do gerente Sthephan, que nos deu todas as dicas de passeios e roteiros de turismo! O lugar é incrível, com jardim, piscina, área de relax e o quarto é bem amplo! Tem tb suíte tipo flat para mais pessoas mas não conheci! A localização é muito boa, próxima da Table Mountain (1km aprox), e a essa mesma distância vc encontra uma rua super badalada a Kloof com restaurantes, cafés, supermercado e tudo o mais que precisar!

You might not want to leave the hotel

The Gardens neighborhood/district is easily the most beautiful place to stay in Cape Town. If you are fit, it's feasible to walk to/from Kloof Street for fine dining. If you're really fit and have plenty of time, you can start your hike to Table Mountain from the hotel as well. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The mattress was very comfortable and the window treatments provided almost blackout conditions so we enjoyed very sound sleep during our stay. Parking was also right in front of the hotel.

Private Room Without a View

Very friendly service. No views despite good position. Found out breakfast not included on arrival. Lovely hammock to lie and read. Plenty of greenery.
