I had a fabulous stay overall at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel. The room I was eventually moved to was stunning, featuring a personal pool and a lovely soaking tub. Though my first room had a few issues, the attentive staff quickly resolved it, providing warm and welcoming service. I really appreciated the free shuttle service that made exploring the area easy, but it would have been even better if the breakfast area was quieter earlier in the morning.

I had an excellent stay at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel. The atmosphere felt more like staying in a friend's luxurious home rather than a conventional hotel. Although they don't have a restaurant on-site, the nearby dining options were plentiful, and the shuttle service made getting around easy. One minor downside was that the hotel is not located in the Waterfront area where the main attractions are, but this was easily remedied with their efficient shuttle service.
