This is a really great little hotel with a surprise behind every door. Funky, quirky and fun. The dining is EXCELLENT including very good sAfrican dishes, and wine prices really great.

“Time to touch up!”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Stayed at the Hotel in April 2013. Definitely not my first choice when visiting CPT. I booked this Hotel after staying at the Melrose Arch Fire and Ice on several occasions but sadly this funky Hotel has lots to learn from its Joburg counterpart. The rooms are small and not well laid out. There is also quite a bit of... More

I recently spent a week on business at this buzzing centrally located hotel. The decoration and atmosphere gave this hotel a very hot and trendy feel with an event happening almost every day.

This was my second stay at the Fire & Ice and it turned out to be a very BAD experience - all of them to do with service (actually the lack thereof).

“Not for the clostephobic”

Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

Modern rooms and hotel recently revamped. Edgy and retro. However the rooms are minute and very clostephobic, there is barely enough room to walk around the bed. The room is cluttered and full of unnecessary lamps etc. I did not enjoy the hotel.
