Great hotel. Looks lovely, rooms are spacious, clean and attrative. The coffee shop serves great coffee and breakfast is good - just be aware the buffet is only part of it and the food to order is the main thing. Location exceptionally conventient for restaurants, bars and shops. Only annoying thing is the slow and busy lifts!

This hotel is absolutely stunning. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The rooms themselves are very posh and luxurious. And the food was absolutely delicious! One of the downsides of using Uber is that they can't typically pick you up directly right outside the hotel entrance. Instead, you'll need to walk a little bit, usually just a few meters. This is generally not a major inconve...

The hotel is located close to many restaurants. we stayed for a night and the staff were excellent. Nonhlanhla, Tamara and their team made our son's birthday special by giving him a nice card, a cake and decorations in the room. The area had multiple road closures and the Nonhlanhla went out of her way to get a cake arranged! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
