Nice terrace, shame about the decord
This hotel sits right on the water and has a lovely dining/pool/cocktail terrace. Rooms are decorated in an uninspired way -- carpet is ugly, especially. The beds are definitely on the hard side, must be the Scandinavian heritage. The bathroom has a large tub that kind of gets in the way -- I'd rather have the space back.
The hotel gives you rides to the nearby V&A Waterfront mall, where there are a lot of great restaurants. Lacking a fitness center, it also gives lifts and free passes at the bottom of each hour to a nearby commercial gym and health club, which is really a splendid place if you have the time. At 6pm on a weeknight, it's packed with all the eye candy Cape Town can offer.
