Never seen a hotel go the extra mile in the same way. Could actually never have imagined a hotel could have this level of service. Even when I ordered a breakfast item outside of the menu they 100% delivered and went the extra mile to decorate it beautifully and add some toppings. Also loved the 24/7 jacuzzi and the friendliness of everyone. ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Charming boutique hotel in a wonderful Cape Town neighborhood, the Gardens.

Absolutely fabulous hotel - incredible service, superb room, great indoor & outdoor spaces and amazing breakfast. Complimentary tea, coffee and cake in the afternoon as well as well stocked honesty bar. I am struggling to think of a better place that we have stayed at around the world - it is the staff in particular that go the extra mile with everything that really differentiates this hotel from others. A truly 6 star experience. Thank you so so much - you are all superstars ##### JUSTIN Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities From the moment you enter the beautifully decorated lounge area, you know this is your home away from home. The room isnt large, but well appointed. Staff is superb. Great restaurants nearby and we also we walked the 30 min. downtown( we are 72) took Uber everywhere else. Breakfast is fabulous and the little touches of having cake or cookies around in the afternoon was an added bonus. There are steps to all the rooms that I could see so if this is a problem, check. Otherwise, this is the place to stay. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Apr 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay Great stay, felt welcomed from the second we arrived.
