“The hotel presents a curious mix. Its proximity to attractions like Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront is appealing, and I like the idea of relaxing on the outdoor terrace after a busy day, cocktail in hand from the 1920s-inspired Glass Lounge. However, reports of inconsistent room quality give me pause about the overall experience.”
