Superb reception and Breakfast staff.
The stay was comfortable. Reception and breakfast staff were superb. Housekeeping could be better. They knocked to clean our room before we went out for breakfast. We told them we will be out in 10 minutes. Indeed we were. We were down to breakfast only to come back to our room undone. We took a nap had a do not disturb before we went out. Went out after lunch time. Came back later still our room was not done. That was the only downside of our stay.

I stayed three nights at the hotel of work and some downtime. The hotel although well located has seen better days. The service makes up for this and it is a good hotel for short stays.

The staff were great. Couldnt be more helpful. Hotel was fine. Maybe due to SA power generation issues but the AC made a noise, but didnt seem to be cold. Other slight negative was that the hotel name says its at the Waterfront. But we were advised it wasnt safe to walk anywhere from hotel so had to rely extensively on Ubers. Which were very cheap. Overall would recommend.

Good Value
The breakfast and service is excellent! I just got off a cruise ship and my shower is smaller and there's no electric outlets in the bathroom. Its a good value and its a 20 minute walk to the V & A Waterfront
