Nice brief overnight stay in city

7.0

Nice spacious room in a centrally located place in the city. Very clean and comfortable

The service entrance could do with a bit of tidying up. While its a common area for 3 other hotels there it wouldn't hurt to combine to get it cleaned up thoroughly everyday as this is where clients get dropped off or picked up by ehailing services

Spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location made for a pleasant stay.

6.0

I recently stayed at Hollow on the Square City Hotel CBD in Cape Town. The reception staff were wonderful and very welcoming throughout my stay. The room itself was humongous and offered plenty of space, which I really appreciated. The location is convenient, with about a pleasant 15-minute walk to the V&A Waterfront using the footbridge.

Unfortunately, there was a noticeable musty smell in the room, possibly because it may not have been used for some time. The duvet cover also had quite a strong unpleasant smell, although thankfully the bed sheets smelled fresh and clean.
