DK Eyewitness
"A renowned, privately owned four-star hotel on Sea Point’s coastal boulevard. Tailor-made tours to the Winelands or to Cape Point can be arranged through consultation with the management."
Rough Guide
"A self-consciously colonial-style 1920s hotel, in a prime spot across the road from the seashore, with an atmosphere straight from the pages of Agatha Christie."

Star Service
"The industrial look lends itself to a business atmosphere, and corporate guests are a regularity. But, the hotel's free shuttle to the surrounding area makes it easy for tourists to get around, too.
