My stay at One&Only Cape Town had its highs and lows. The location is unbeatable, nestled right by the vibrant waterfront, with amazing views of Table Mountain. The spa services were excellent, and the breakfast buffet was a feast for the senses. However, I experienced some significant issues with in-room dining pricing and housekeeping, which marred an otherwise luxurious experience. Overall, while I loved many aspects of the hotel, certain details need improvement to match the luxury standards expected. 🌟
