Very pleasant stay. Hotel is centrally located and close to the waterfront. Staff is welcoming and friendly. The only downside was you have to pay for parking R60 per night.

The hotel is very dirty and old. The room felt like a jail cell or hospital room. Luckily I was only there for one night. It was so bad, my partner and I didn’t even use the shower or anything. We left as soon as we woke up.

Disappointingly Dirty, StainedCarpets for a Hilton
This was my second stay at the Hilton. While the hotel room is great and staff very friendly, the are where the hotel is located is not great. I feel safe and comfortable driving there alone during the day but not so much at night. On this stay my room was prepared to my standards as allergy free and very neat, clean and comfortable. The combo door where the safe was could not be easily opened and closed. What I was very disappointed about was that on the 2nd floor where I was, the corridor carpets were absolutely filthy, stained and unhygienic. It needed a thorough spring cleaning! This level of filth is not in keeping with Hilton hotels as I have stayed in many across the world.
