“I find that this hotel presents a compelling option in Cape Town, particularly for longer stays, where the well-equipped apartments and attentive service create a true home-away-from-home atmosphere. The rooftop restaurant alone makes it worth a visit, providing matchless panoramic views, while its central location offers a secure and stylish base for exploring the city.”
