Stay here if you'd rather have a full suite than a hotel room and still want a roof pool. It is a guests pool, and the listing gives little else about it.
The pool
On top of the Mandela Rhodes building, at the corner of Wale and Burg Streets in the city centre, sits the pool. The hotel describes spacious all-suite apartments in Cape Town's cultural quarter. It doesn't publish the floor, views, hours or heating.
Our take
This is a thin entry, and the facts show why: the pool is a feature of the building, not the headline. Cloud 9 sells day passes, while Mandela Rhodes lets in guests only, so it won't help if you're only visiting.
Detail is the catch: no floor, view, hours or heating is published, so you're booking a suite first and a pool second. Undercover parking is listed, which helps if you're driving.
