Stayed here for 4 nights with my wife. Location is excellent in the buzzy Kloof St area with lots of bars and restaurants. Felt safe to walk around both daytime and evening. The breakfast in a local cafe concept is good but there are only 2 choices, not the 4 on the website. Egghead was our favourite.
Hotel is generally good but some details stop it quite being the boutique experience it's trying to sell itself as. Service was a bit mixed, mostly lovely helpful people, some a bit too busy to actually do serving customers. Our executive suite was a lovely duplex space with huge windows, giant comfy bed and great amenities like the coffee machine, fridge, dishwasher, TV with dstv etc. Great to have a seating area as well as the kitchen and their were nice pieces of art as well. Cheap secure parking was a bonus too. However it only has a view of the Lions Head if you lean out and look left (other rooms may be better), the key card failed twice, the safe constantly showed low battery signs even after the battery was changed and the shower is straight out of a council leisure centre changing room. Really needs an upgrade to something more in keeping with their ambitions. The open plan bathroom is ok as a thing but replace the bath with a big shower space with frosted glass surrounds and a rainwater shower head or it just looks unfinished.
Temper your expectations and you'll have a great time here.
