Hotel exceeded my expectations. Great part of town with ample secure parking. Rooms were very comfortable and I loved the kitchenette in our room.

As a returning guest, once again the experience was great! All front desk staff are helpful and friendly, they go above and beyond. The cleaning staff is amazing as well. The beds are comfortable. Although you would think it would be noisy with the busy surrounding businesses, you cannot hear any outside noise at night! The location is the best! Very walkable and tons of food options near by. I highly reccomend the hippo to any any and all travelers!

I was here for almost a week. It is a very clean place. The room was cozy and spacious. A number of restaurants around for dining options. For breakfast the give vouchers and you can choose from 3 different restaurants. I am pretty sure I will be back.

We absolutely loved this property. The hotel itself is wonderful, we loved our spacious room and the staff was incredible, always ready to help and make our stay as pleasant as possible. The property is in a very popular area, lots of night life, if you are early to bed, we recommend requesting a room away from the front of the hotel, which can be noisy. Great breakfast offered in a three different restaurants very close, plus an amazing amount of good restaurants in general. We highly recommend the property.

Hotel excelente. Na melhor localização possível se CapeTown, ao lado de bares e restaurantes. Hotel limpo e muito bem decorado. Nosso quarto com pé direito duplo e cozinha completa era um espetáculo. Definitivamente um excelente hotel.

Outstanding service makes SUCH a difference to a visit, it really does. We preferred this place to a much more expensive one (Parker Cottage) because of the much better service and friendly staff.
