“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

The Glam is ideally located, within walking distance of Long Street (the main street of Cape Town), the decor is beautiful - each room is dedicated to actiz na -. And best is the service and treatment: kind, friendly, always willing to help ... great! It was a nice experience!
