In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Central location near the beachfront — The hotel is on Main Road in Sea Point, close to restaurants, shops, the promenade and the beach, with easy access to transport. Guests repeatedly call out the convenience.
  • Breakfast included and well regarded — A buffet breakfast with a wide selection, including fresh juice and pastries, is part of the room rate. Many guests name it as a standout feature.
  • Rooms with ocean and stadium views — Higher-floor rooms open onto views of the ocean, the stadium, and the city. Some rooms also include a sofa for extra comfort.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Guests describe the staff as pleasant, cheerful, and attentive, with particular mention of the bar service.
  • Private parking and value — A private parking garage is available on site, and several guests highlight the hotel as excellent value for money given the price and included breakfast.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Shower pressure and temperature issues on high floors — A guest on the 20th floor reported weak water pressure and inconsistent water temperature. If you're sensitive to that, it may be worth requesting a lower floor.
  • Occasional noise from other guests — One guest mentioned disruptive behaviour from conference attendees, which affected their stay. The hotel staff were not blamed, but it's a risk if you're seeking quiet.
  • Inconsistent delivery of requested items — One guest asked twice for a hairdryer and an iron and never received them, despite being told they were on the way. This suggests service can be patchy at times.

“The view was fantastic, but the water pressure on the 20th floor was poor, and the temperature was either too hot or too cold. The showers were not enjoyable. We also asked twice for a hairdryer and an iron but never received them, even though we were told they would come.”
