convenient locationrooftop bar
The location proved quite convenient. i easily walked to the waterfront area and found many restaurants nearby. It suited my needs wonderfully. the rooftop bar had excellent views. I especially enjoyed seeing table mountain from up there.
My room faced the street so i could hear some noise at night. It did bother me a bit.
