Staying at Cape Cadogan was a delightful experience. The hotel has a warm, home-like atmosphere, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcomed. The breakfast was a highlight, with excellent choices and quality. However, be prepared for a little wait for hot water in the shower, and our bathroom was on the smaller side. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience was top-notch, and we would definitely return.
