Stayed in CapeTown for 4 days prior to joining a cruise ship. This hotel is in a more central area and we found lots of great restaurants around the area as well as eating in the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the city safety personel on each street junction made us feel safe. Roof top bar and balcony with small pool was a delight.
