Lack of a lift is a negative. The passageways skirting boards were removed and it looks unmaintained. Perhaps in the process of being replaced, but a notice should then be put up.

Taj Cape Town
The Taj never disappoints! The staff at this Capetown location is superb! Some of the nicest and most genuine people I have met in Africa. The location is perfect if you need to be in the center of town and the gym/sauna/pool are open 24/7.
