    cozy space
    unique decor
    noisy plumbing

    Cozy space with unique decor, offering a distinct character. The rooftop area provides a nice spot for relaxation after a day of exploration.

    The plumbing in the room is quite noisy and gives off a lingering smell. Bathroom lighting is insufficient, and towel quality feels low. The lack of adequate storage for toiletries during showers is frustrating.

    stuffy room

    The hotel's book-filled ambiance and friendly staff made our stay feel special. We particularly enjoyed unwinding with a cocktail at the rooftop bar after a busy day exploring.

    What an exceptional place! Brand-new double room with a comfy bed. Exceptionally nice location, 10 minutes' walk to Two Oceans Aquarium. Also - near to the Cruise terminal, the historical part of Stellenbosch and many restaurants, coffes and the Cruise terminal...

    Beds were creaky.

    unique hotel
    cozy atmosphere
    poor service
    room issues

    More pros than cons, but still.

    A one of a kind hotel where comfort thrives! The staff were friendly and accommodating. Plus, the unique mix of vintage decor and modern amenities created a cozy atmosphere!

    Sadly, the overall service sometimes felt a bit standoffish, and there were hiccups with room readiness-like receiving a room that wasn't fully prepared. This disrupted the check-in experience quite a bit!

    dreadful mattress
    lacking kitchen

    What a disaster! Yes, the bed is beautiful, but the mattress is a disaster, sleep was nearly impossible! Don't even get me started on the kitchen-no pots or pans, who does that? After all that, they couldn't even be bothered to upgrade me. I almost thought about giving them a good review, but just couldn't.

    friendly staff
    limited kid activities

    We loved the spacious rooms with a unique, industrial charm. The friendly staff was always eager to assist. Plus, the location was perfect, just a short walk to the vibrant V&A waterfront and local eateries.

    One downside was that our kids wished there were more activities tailored for them.

    Just a decent option for a relaxing holiday in Cape Town with fantastic value. The eclectic decor added a cozy vibe to the stay. Be mindful of potential noise from bustling street activity at night.

    Architectural charm but service issues

    I loved the captivating architecture and design of the hotel-it really felt unique and well thought-out. The breakfast was delicious and provided a great start to the day. The staff really need to improve their responsiveness as I felt ignored when I raised a concern .

    The hotel offered a unique vibe, and we loved the comfortable space for our family-including our two dogs. Hiking nearby was great for our whole crew.

    My kids wished there were more activities tailored for little ones.
