If you are looking for accommodation in Sea Point that is still affordable but offers a beautiful room and great location then the Hyde is perfect. The is safe, access-controlled basement parking for guests with direct access to the lift. The reception staff are extremely friendly and the rooms are immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped and some have great views (our room 601 had views of the sea and Lion's Head). There is also air-conditioning in the rooms, as well as basic toiletries. The bathrooms are small, but very modern. The pool area on the roof is great to go relax by with stunning views. The breakfast was very good- a stroll on the promenade (half a block away) will most likely be needed after indulging in this. If you don't feel like cooking a meal in your room, there are a few restaurants within very close proximity (less than 1 block away)- including Nando's and Il Posticino for great Italian food.
We couldn't believe how reasonable the rate was at the Hyde for what we received in comparison to other accommodation in the area. We will definitely be staying there again!
