I always choose this hotel whenever I visit Cape Town because of its unbeatable value, excellent location near the CBD, and convenient access to public transit. The staff are genuinely welcoming and attentive—truly a highlight of my stay. While the rooms are on the simple side, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean and functional. What really stands out is the 24-hour security—feeling safe at all times makes a big difference. This place consistently delivers more than expected for the price, making it my top pick in the area. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and great service without breaking the bank, this is the one.

I only stayed one night, but the hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Kloof Street's vibrant scene. The energy of the area is contagious—great for exploring local cafes, shops, and nightlife. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived, making me feel right at home. My room was cozy and well-maintained, with a fantastic shower that delivered strong water pressure—perfect for starting the day. Breakfast was excellent, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. It’s rare to find such a great mix of location, comfort, and service in one place. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Staying at Floreal House was an absolute delight. The building is beautifully preserved with a classic charm, and every detail feels thoughtfully maintained. Our room, number 8, was exceptionally spacious—complete with a stunning bay window that features real wooden sills, adding so much character. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was fresh, generous, and delicious. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality—always smiling, helpful, and attentive.

Blue Views Studio Apartments truly feels fresh and well-maintained—clean, comfortable, and secure. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it’s fully equipped with two electric hobs, a microwave/oven combo, and a fridge—perfect for basic cooking needs. The beds were incredibly cozy, making for a restful night’s sleep. There’s also 24/7 paid security patrolling the area, which adds peace of mind. A quick heads-up: rideshare services like Uber or taxis will drop you off at the back entrance on a different street, so make sure to share the exact address with your driver to avoid confusion. Also, the platform sends email instructions to access the unit, and payment is required two weeks prior to arrival—not upon check-in as some might assume. Additionally, another service (Supehog) will email separately to collect the damage waiver fee. It would be helpful if this info were clearly listed in the booking instructions. Overall, I’d highly recommend this property in Bakoven for travelers looking to stay within walking distance of Camp’s Bay during daylight hours. Great location, excellent value, and a very pleasant stay.

I stayed at Urban Oasis Aparthotel from March 14th to 18th, 2025, and I can confidently recommend this place without hesitation.
