“Cresta Grande Cape Town, though a 4-star establishment, has some mixed reviews that should be considered. While its central location and family-friendly amenities like kids-eat-free options appeal, some guests have noted issues with elevator service and inconsistencies in food quality.

adequate stay with some issues
musty smell lacking soundproofing
the staff at the reception was very kind, especially during the late-night check-in.
The room i had showed signs of wear and tear. It wasn't properly soundproofed. it also had a musty smell and could have benefitted from a thorough deep cleaning. i don't think it matched the value of what i paid (it was a bit expensive for the condition).
