Review summary

Summarized by AI from 200+ reviews · Last updated: 9 Sept 2025

The hotel offers a memorable experience, notably for its iconic glass elevators that provide breathtaking views as guests ascend, and its consistently praised stunning views of Table Mountain from many rooms. Guests frequently highlight the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and the excellent breakfast as key elements of a pleasant stay. The friendly staff and central location further contribute to its appeal. This hotel is particularly well-suited for sightseers eager to explore the city's landmarks, business travelers due to its CBD proximity, families who appreciate the large rooms and engaging elevator experience, and couples seeking a romantic getaway with scenic backdrops. To maximize your experience, consider requesting a room on a higher floor for the best vistas, and be aware that high winds can sometimes cause noise from windows. Utilizing ride-sharing services like Uber is a convenient and affordable way to reach popular areas like the V&A Waterfront.
