Beautiful Building

We were originally booked to stay here when we visited Cape Town, however we were told they had over booked, so we were shifted to another hotel across the courtyard. Due to plumbing issues in our room at that hotel we were then shifted to The Dock House, which happened quite late at night. Unfortunately this meant we didn’t get the full experience of the hotel, as we checked out early the next morning. Our room was large, spacious and clean. The heating worked well as it was a very cold night. The breakfast the following morning was lovely and the staff were very attentive. We would book again, with the hope of being able to use more of the facilities offered.

An excellent choice in Cape Town

This is a very charming hotel, in a wonderful location, very close to The Waterfront. The rooms are big and beautifully decorated, extremely confortable. The service is very kind and accommodating. All in all, an excellent choice in Cape Town!
