We experienced exceptionally good and friendly service at the Checking In desk. Although we were too early to check in, all the formalities had been done ahead of time. We decided to go out on an excursion to Table Mountain until the room would be ready. The booking for this was done there and then and the tickets printed for us by a very friendly young lady at the front office.
Without exception, every member of staff was friendly, courteous and tried their best to accommodate every wish of ours. We decided to make use of their picnic basket and to go out to one of their picnic sites that they have close to the hotel. They have various types of baskets which are more than worth the money. While we were waiting for the basket, we were offered a complimentary glass of wine and were then accompanied to the site by two very friendly staff members who laid out the food before leaving us alone.
At dinner time we were surprised by the big selection of food available, as well as the wonderful selection of wines on their menu. In 40 years of traveling we have never seen such a variety of wines on one menu. We were never rushed into the next course, which meant that we could enjoy our meals at our leisure.
The breakfast selection was more than enough and was enhanced by the fresh oysters that were available every morning.
On our second night’s stay we ordered a room service dinner , and what a service we got! Not only was the food of the highest quality, superbly prepared and presented, but it also arrived within the shortest imaginable time. In all our years of traveling here and overseas, we had never received our room service meals within ten minutes of ordering!
All in all this was one of the best ones we had ever had at a hotel and would recommend this establishment without any prejudice.
