Apt 2709. Very large, comfortable, and clean room. Balcony was huge with amazing views. Situated by the pool, workout area, and bar on the 27th floor. "Gym" was outside and had a few things to do a workout. Rain showerhead provided adequate water pressure and heat. Full kitchen with a couple of complimentary waters in the fridge. A safe 15 min walk to the V&A Waterfront. Great value for the stay! Would absolutely stay here again when in Capetown!

This is one of my favourite apartment hotels ever in Cape Town. Great location, welcoming, kind and professional staff, stellar security and amenities. I truly felt at home and always safe. Activities and surrounding areas are just a walk away from the hotel too or a ride away. Our host Laz was honestly the best, always made us feel comfortable and safe, with top recommendations of things to do. I will definitely be back!

This was one of our favorite Hotels.com stays. The apartment was spotless & elegant and yet comfortable & cozy at the same time, with a fantastic view. Laz welcomed us warmly on arrival and ensured we knew how the building security worked, and offered tips for the local area. Will definitely keep it in mind for our next Cape Town visit!

The apartment was on the 19th floor. Great views of the city and waterfront. It was well equipped, spacious and clean. 4 lifts serviced all floors, never had to wait long. Kurdra the host was very helpful and always contactable.
Water pressure to rain shower head was not quite up to what it needed to be but still adequate. Just don’t try and wash your hair if it’s long.
Overall and wonderful stay.
