Very service-oriented staff in a convenient place
Staff was polite and beyond amazing. They gave us good advices on the safety of the De Waterkant area (generally safe to walk around at night as there are a lot of security staff stationed around). Since we stayed in winter their Skybar and Pianobar was closed, but they had a breakfast area which served very tasty breakfast. There was also the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village Mall nearby which had a SPAR supermarket which met all our needs. De Waterkant is one of the recommended place to stay in Cape Town if you want to be near the V&A Waterfront and CBD. The room which we stayed (Room 10) was also spacious and had enough room for 2 people. I strongly recommend this hotel.

Location was great. Nice supermarket close by and laundry down the street. Close to port with Uber being cheap. Hotel is quirky with narrow stairs and our room was small but made do for a few nights as area was safe and staff were friendly.

Lovely boutique hotel, nice staff. Great value for money. Nice area. Soft close on the toilet seat would have been nice. Less noise from the ac (not sure if that was causing it). A bit more water pressure in the shower would be great. I was fighting with the hotel room safe, but that could be my stupidity

The hotel is clean, has a nice artsy vibe. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be better. Most things we wanted to see were 10 to 20mns walking distance, and the neighborhood of the location was beautiful, with plenty of coffee shops, small boutiques and colorful houses.
