Pros: - very friendly service - very clean and stylish rooms - rich breakfast (bread, cheese, ham, good pastries, fresh fruit, yogurts) - nice view - nice neighbourhood Cons: - noise from the breakfast room woke me up early every morning - internet is free but partially extremely slow

The owner is a kind person. The room is wonderful with an unbelievable view. Great breakfast! Cheap garage (30 rands)! Some problems with internet but it seems a common issue in South Africa! Cape Town is a small city so you can move from here by car or on foot, just be prepared to climb the hill to get to... More
