Centrally located and convenient for my purpose. I booked a one night stay as I was attending a function nearby.
Kindly, I appreciated their hospitality from reception to the restaurant

Great staff, fantastic breakfast.
On the last morning, in mid-shower the water went off. One hour before an important meeting leaving me covered in soap.Front desk reaction - crickets… no action for over 30 minutes.Pathetic.
The hotel is well managed and in the perfect location in relation to the office building I need to go to. I got exceptional service from Hazel in reception, Wayne in the restaurant and from the manager Delnayde. Thank you for your contribution in making my stay pleasant.

Preferential treatment of guests
Good value for money. Clean and comfortable rooms. Helpful staff.
A little bit far from the center. Breakfast could be better.
Excellent buffet. egg station could be more visible.
A decent outdoor space is lacking somehere to sit and have tea, lunch or just being in the open air.

toilet not flushingno lights in roomphone not working
It was excellent. And the food most superb. The evening Cheff - Athini is one of the best chefs I've met. The quality of her food was of the best quality I've tasted before. Thank you
Perhaps you can think of having some kind of live music. Perhaps one -man bands, a pianist...
Great location, amazing staff.
The hotel is showing signs of aging - it is though recognised as parts are now being refurbished.
The table mountain view from the room was awesome.The room size was good enough.
The tv wasn’t working but didn’t bother us much.
The staff was amazing with excellent friendly service. Top class and well done to them. they did a lot for the Two Oceans Runners to make their stay comfortable with own prize giving after the race. Absolutely amazing.
Short stay. early check-out. did not eat breakfast
Short stay. early check-out. Business trip. Didn't stay long enough to rate. sorry.
I booked 5 rooms. The one room was not ready on check in. We waited a few hours and the replacement room had a double bed and not a king bed as expected. The dinner was disappointing. 3 of the meals were cold and the pasta wasn’t great. However the breakfast was much better. The bathrooms need an upgrade. They need to replace the bath with a proper shower.R1800pppn is very expensive
The staff - especially Tracy and her team for looking after the Two Oceans athletes. Everything from understanding what athletes would need and how to make everyone feel special. The shuttle to and from the finish, the welcoming event to the hotel after the race, the pre- breakfast spread - EVERYTHING was top notch and well organised.
I love everything - if there's a small detail they could have been better at is to ensure house keeping was done after breakfast in the morning as later on after the race, athletes need their shower and sleep.
Warm staff, convenient location, very nice breakfast with good variety, nice room with good facilities.
I had a very nice experience
