This hotel's expectation created on Internet and reality is as wide as the canyon. The room is so small that you pay an expensive price for a room the size of a Formule one hotel room. The bathroom is so small you hit yourself if you turn. The bed is in such a bad state remember to bring along pills... More

This was our first stop on our 3 week South African honeymoon. We enjoyed staying here, the decor was modern and funky, most of the staff were reasonably friendly and it is well located if you want to stay in Central Cape Town. Breakfast was pretty good, with a chef on hand to cook eggs how you like and a... More

Very trendy hotel in the Long Street area which has great nightlife. Good welcome and check in was effortless. Parking on site ( lift didn't work). Nice pool but not in sunlight. Adequate gym. We stayed in a superior room, which was small but adequate. Room was well furnished and modern. Bathroom was not private (fortunately the loo was). The... More

The location was pretty good. It was blocks away from long street (good for shopping and food) and it had a great view of table mountain. The food was excellent and the bar in the lobby was a lot of fun. I felt very safe in this hotel at all times. It was a 25 minute walk to the waterfront... More

My expectations for this hotel were pretty high, seeing as I just experienced a wonderful stay @ Protea Fire & Ice Melrose Arch. However, quite a few things went wrong during our 4 day stay! The staff was not prepared to accomodate our party of 45. But before this review turns into hotel bashing, please refer below: Pros: Welcome champayne... More

Check in was easy and stress free. We were booked into a loft suite, which has two rooms, a lounge, dining room/kitchen and a study/business area. I must admit, having previously stayed at The President and Victoria Junction, I wasn't impressed with the location. But looking out a window and seeing Lion's Head, and the beautiful and quirky decor quickly... More
