My stay at The Silo Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The luxurious ambiance and stunning views of Table Mountain and the harbor blew me away. However, I did face some hiccups during my dining experiences, especially at dinner where the service did not meet expectations. Overall, it's a beautiful hotel worth considering, despite some inconsistencies in service.

I spent three nights at The Silo Hotel before starting my safari adventures, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The combination of excellent food, very nice views, and attentive service made my stay nice. though I did find the dining service a bit slow on occasion. The location by the V&A waterfront was also a major highlight, making it easy to explore the vibrant city around me.
