My stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing! The rooms are huge and very well appointed, offering a mesmerizing view of Table Mountain. The service from the entire team, from the managers to the restaurant staff, was out of this world. The location is perfect, especially if you're looking for the best rooftop bar in town. However, it might be a bit pricey for local South Africans.
