Time Out "Designed to cater for fun-loving adrenaline junkies (the 'climber' fixed to the wall outside should be a clue), the design gimmicks here add a fun element to one's overall experience." Full review
Lonely Planet "Yes, that exclamation mark is justified! The Protea hotel chain thought outside of the box when designing this place that takes Cape Town’s adventurous, party-hard spirit as inspiration." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"Has a steady business traveler clientele and... host frequent conferences, but it brands itself as a wild party spot with a bar that features live music." Full review
Fodor's "Initially built as a highly themed hotel—interior elements like elevators kitted out as a shark cage underwater or a Table Mountain cable car mid-journey, and a "climbing wall" still exist." Full review
