“The suites appeal, offering space that feels genuinely generous, and views of Table Mountain are a definite draw. Century City's central location means Canal Walk is right there, and despite some service hiccups, the hotel seems geared towards both business and family needs. I think the Mozambik Restaurant adds a nice touch, bringing some unique flavor to the stay.”

helpful porter smart tv mountain view
My room included a smart tv. It was nice. the porter, lucko, was very helpful and friendly. He was amazing!!! gym access at a sister hotel provided good workout options. i loved the beautiful views of table mountain and the ocean. So romantic!!!
The breakfast menu could improve. I stayed five days, and it became repetitive.
