Lodges in Africa

"This is my overall pick for Cape Town, South Africa. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and just spoiled rotten. The hotel was very clean from the dining areas and rooms to the gym facility. I can't rave enough about this place! The food was incredible! Definitely 5 star quailty on everything. "

"Solid. Dated. But solid. "

"We had a great suite (room 22) in this ideally placed hotel. The staff were all friendly and courteous. We enjoyed beers in the Sky Bar. It’s a great place to stay. "

"Excellent location - extensive hot breakfast. Very nice heated pool. Offer exchange rate for dollars better than outside"

"Yes"

"Compliments: Staff was superb, 5 stars, especially Chaymae who went out of her way to assist with everything. Soufiane was also very helpful. We used the car sevice for outside of the medina and airport pick-up and drop-off, which we recommend for convenience and great service. The hotel housekeeping crew works tirelessly every day and does a great job. Same for the breakfast and kitchen staff who were always friendly, in a good mood and very accommodating. We would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the loud live music until 11pm -and loud restaurant guests some nights even after that. We were on the second floor and faced the inner courtyard. It must be intolerable for people in the rooms next to the band and the amps on the ground fl. If you are a party person who stays out, you’ll be just fine. If you prefer quiet relaxation, then this Riad is not for you. Location: Couldn’t be more convenient. Only a few minutes’ walk to most attractions, including the markets and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Restaurants: Bistro a bit on the expensive side but the Tagine was superb. La Pergola upstairs was average on food but nice space on the top of the Riad. A negative was that the entire space is smoking -difficult to understand nowadays! A suggestion to the owner: please carve out bigger half of the restaurant as non-smoking to make it comfortable for non-smokers. Rooms: very comfortable and spacious. Suggestion: to include written instructions on how to use tv and a/c."

"Great hotel in great location. Wonderful staff"

"Room was lovely, hotel spaces and amenities were beautiful, the staff were very kind, warm and helpful, and the location was fantastic - tucked away from the medina. Extremely happy with our stay!"

"The accommodation is amazing from the beginning to the end. Amazing setting, in the medina (note that the taxi cannot get to the entrance, which is clearly mentioned in the hotel website and comments). Amazing history throughout the accommodation, in the common areas as well as the rooms. The staff were friendly, showing great hospitality, professional. They helped with choices of restaurants, recommendations of places of interest. The hotel was very clean. The swimming pools were nice, clean and refreshing. Facilities were great throughout. Breakfast was served extended hours and was rich. Internet worked really well. "
