    “Die Lage ist sehr gut und sicher. Mit dem Uber kommt man vom Hotel schnell und günstig überall hin. Auch zu Fuss kann man schnell zur Kloof Street gelangen. Von unserem Zimmer aus haben wir sogar auf den Tafelberg gesehen. Die Reception ist sehr schön, stylisch eingerichtet und bietet viele Verpflegungs- und Getränkemöglichkeiten. Man kann hier gut verweilen und mit anderen Gästen schwatzen oder etwas arbeiten, lesen etc. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und unterstützt einen beim organisieren der individuellen Ausflüge. Für uns hat man einen guten Tages-Driver organisiert, der uns mit diversen Zwischenstationen bis zum Kap der guten Hoffnung und zurück führte. Das Frühstück war einwandfrei und bot eine gute Auswahl. Warme Gerichte wurden auf Bestellung gekocht. Da unser Flug erst am Abend ging, durften wir sogar am Nachmittag ohne Aufpreis ein freies Zimmer benutzen um uns etwas aufzufrischen. Vielen Dank hierfür und danke für alle anderen Annehmlichkeiten.”

  • Super toller Hotelaufenthalt
