Stayed in this hotel for 4 weeks Nov/Dec 2023. Excellent hotel and I enjoyed my stay there. Sonny and Irene's ground floor restaurant is excellent, we ate there for breakfast and an evening meal, both ten out of ten. The restaurant is very relaxed, decked out in a lovely salmon pink colour, one of the staff in the restaurant described the restaurant as being a brasserie. Not too highbrow, very relaxed a**osphere There is another restaurant on the 9th floor which we didn't visit. My room was very clean, nice crisp bed linen and despite the room being rather small it had everything we needed for our stay. Hotel approx 400 yards to the sea front. The only issue I had was the rooftop pool area, With panoramic views over Lions Head, the sea front, down all the way to Cape Town city centre, and Sea Point, it is well worth a visit. However, there were issues, I witnessed, parents allowing children in the pool and allowing very young kids to eat food in the pool, kids being kids food particles dropped in the pool and despite the parents best efforts to scoop up bread from sandwiches, crisps etc from the water, when I entered the pool some food was floating on the pool surface The sun loungers are very on trend, but concrete and wooden sun lounges, are very uncomfortable without cushions. It gets very hottttttttttt on the roof unfortunately there is no protection from the sun with parasols (whilst in the hotel's web page parasols are shown). Plus whilst you can dip in the pool to cool off the water is freezing !!!!! The water should be heated. People smoke on the roof and throw their butts over the front of the hotel onto the ledge, deposit their cigarette ends between the gaps in the wooden flooring. Late afternoon guests bring bottles of wine / glasses, very unsafe as if the glass gets broken it would be a danger to other guest as they may step on the broken glass As a suggestion, the pool area needs sone supervision to stop these guest from acting incorrectly Despite my misgivings about the pool area I would recommend this hotel.
