    The warm greeting upon arrival and the amazing view of Table Mountain from our suite made our stay really good. Afternoon tea in the beautiful gardens was a good highlight.

    Hotel as a whole is gorgeous and perfect, I truly enjoyed it.

    As for me, the location is marvellous and lovely, by a beautifully kept garden. Plus, this hotel is really close to sights and large number of excellent restaurants and bars within walking distance, and all major attractions...

    Favourable location in the Garderns area, in the tranquil area. For tea or coffee visit Rick's Cafe Americain nearby.

    guest experience
    private paradise

    Perfect for families seeking luxury

    The service was great, thanks to the guest experience manager, like we were really valued. The pool area was like our private paradise, where my kids splashed around while we relaxed with drinks.

    It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every cent.

    What a very nice stay, no complaint. 1st class traditional hotel, spectacular views of the mountain and the gardens. Sumptuous and large breakfast - a wide range of meals. Efficient check-in and late check-out, responsive staff. Very good customer service.

    We have stayed before and it never fails to impress. This time we were upgraded to a suite, which was spacious and luxurious. The staff are always friendly and helpful without being familiar, and you feel you can always ask for something without putting anyone out! The food in the Planet Restaurant was delicious, added to which the price was incredibly affordable. We love the fact that nearly every member of staff addressed us by name - a credit to those who train them and employ them. We will be back.

    Not a complaint, just an observation. It would be pleasing to have a hospitality tray in teh room, for that early morning cuppa!

    The hotel is fantastic for families! The kids' club allowed us to enjoy some downtime while knowing our little one was entertained. We appreciated the staff's friendliness, especially towards our toddler.

    My kids wished there were more activities suited for their age group.

    Staying in the Beautiful Studio Suite was an absolute dream! The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, and I especially loved the fine views of the meticulously landscaped gardens. The cocktail bar was a highlight too, complete with a talented pianist that resonated perfectly with the lively atmosphere!

    uncomfortable bed

    The stay was perfect for a solo traveler like myself, looking for relaxation before starting an intensive program in Cape Town. The spacious Superior Room was wonderfully decorated, and the serene gardens provided a beautiful setting for unwinding. Special shoutouts to the staff, particularly Sim in the restaurant and the attentive porters, who genuinely.

    seating comfort
    pool area

    The beautiful gardens and inviting pink exterior created a serene atmosphere. I reminded me of royalty wandering through the exquisite grounds, easily accessible as a senior woman.

    More comfortable seating around the pool area needed.
