5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 5, 2009

We booked up when this hotel was The Metropole and turned up to see it had changed hands - in fact they were still in the process of painting! It was a very stylish boutique hotel though - very smart and sleak. Reception were pretty helpful and it is walking distance to many attractions - even some very smart restaurants... More

The hotel is still one of the most stylish hotels I have ever been in. The corner breakfast bar is great. The rooms are very nicely... More

“Crazy experience in the world's only rooftop trailer park”

The hotel boasts the oldest working lift in Cape Town and a themed trailer park on the roof. We had a unique stay in the hotel - which is trendy and fun. Themed trailers include 'Love... More
