Our group's stay at Savoy Lodge was easily the best hotel experience we've had in South Africa. The property is small but perfectly charming—clean, comfortable, and safe, with spacious rooms that made us feel right at home. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile. High-speed Wi-Fi worked flawlessly throughout our stay, and breakfast was a highlight—freshly prepared to order with excellent quality and great variety. Located in a peaceful neighborhood, it’s still super convenient for exploring all corners of Cape Town. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place delivers on every level. A true gem.

I stayed here for two months during a work assignment in Cape Town, and I can’t recommend Green Elephant Backpackers enough. The location in Observatory is unbeatable—perfect for students, hospital staff, or tourists exploring the city. The outdoor courtyard is a fantastic spot to relax with drinks and food while watching sports, and the strong Wi-Fi works both inside and out, so I could easily work under the sun by the pool or in the shared office space. The staff are genuinely welcoming and always ready to help—offering great travel tips, local recommendations, and even inviting me to several braais hosted by the owners. Cleaning staff were friendly and respectful, taking excellent care of my belongings. I stayed in a private apartment, which was ideal for long-term guests: comfortable beds, ample space for work or relaxation, and a kitchenette for cooking my own meals. Parking was no issue either—plenty of street parking and secure space behind a fence. From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations. The warmth of the team, the vibe of the place, and the convenience of the location make this a top choice. If I ever return to Cape Town, this will be my first stop.

This place was the worst accommodation I've ever experienced. The rooms were nothing like the photos online—tiny and poorly designed, with beds that looked like they came straight out of a school dorm. The showers were especially disappointing, feeling more like prison facilities than anything meant for comfort. The overall vibe wasn't suitable for a relaxing getaway, and the lack of storage space made packing a real hassle. Even though it was cheap, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under any circumstances. It’s not worth the money or the stress.

The location is excellent: just a short metro ride into the city center, surrounded by great dining options and local vibes. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat with such high-quality service and comfort. This stay exceeded all expectations—I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility, authenticity, and a little bit of soulful connection with nature.
