The room was spacious and well-arranged, offering plenty of comfort despite slightly outdated furnishings. Cleanliness and overall condition were impressive for the price point. It’s a solid choice if you're looking for value without compromising on convenience. I’d definitely stay here again.

The Radisson Hotel Cape Town Foreshore offers an outstanding location that truly stands out. Nestled right near the heart of the city and just steps away from the waterfront, it’s perfect for both business travelers and tourists exploring Cape Town. The views of the harbor from the rooms are simply breathtaking, especially in the morning light. The staff are friendly and efficient, making check-in a breeze.

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.

The Capetonian - Halal
The Capetonian is an excellent choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Cape Town. Located just steps from the city center, it's incredibly easy to explore local attractions and dining spots. The staff are warm and attentive, making check-in and daily interactions a breeze. Room amenities are thoughtfully designed, and the breakfast spread is both delicious and diverse—especially loved the local flavors. However, upon arrival, I noticed the room wasn’t cleaned to the usual standard: white socks turned brown unexpectedly, and there were strands of hair visible around the room. There was also a faint unpleasant odor in the bathroom, likely due to plumbing issues. Despite these minor concerns, the overall experience remains outstanding. Great value, great location, and a welcoming atmosphere—definitely worth staying again.

I stayed at Urban Oasis Aparthotel from March 14th to 18th, 2025, and I can confidently recommend this place without hesitation. The staff went above and beyond—right from the airport pickup to check-out, I felt genuinely cared for. Special mention goes to Mihla Mekani at the rooftop bar; his friendly service made a lasting impression. The location is excellent, the atmosphere relaxing, and the whole experience truly memorable. Would definitely come back.
Circa on the Square Hotel
The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic—just a short walk from the heart of Cape Town’s city center. I found it incredibly convenient for exploring local attractions, dining spots, and shopping areas without needing to rely on long commutes. The hotel itself has a modern, stylish vibe with clean, well-maintained rooms and comfortable beds that made for a great night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and efficient during check-in. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a good balance between price and quality. Definitely worth considering for your next trip to Cape Town.
Flatrock Suites
Staying at Flatrock Suites was a major disappointment. The hotel is located directly above a nightclub, and the loud music and constant laughter kept going until 6 a.m., making it nearly impossible to sleep. I booked a two-bedroom suite, but only one room had air conditioning— the other had no fan at all, which made it extremely uncomfortable in the heat. To make matters worse, the DSTV service didn’t work, and despite reaching out to the property management team, I received zero support or assistance. There were also no curtains or blinds on the main bedroom door, so sunlight flooded into the room by 5 a.m., disrupting any chance of rest. Overall, the experience was poor, with multiple basic amenities failing and no effort from staff to resolve issues. Definitely not worth it, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

This stunning villa is perfectly located in Cape Town—just a short walk from everything we wanted to explore. The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Every room is beautifully designed with thoughtful touches, blending style and comfort seamlessly. It’s clear the attention to detail is top-notch. A truly memorable stay that exceeded all expectations.
Applegarth B&B and Self-Catering Studios
I was warmly welcomed upon arrival, and the entire stay was incredibly pleasant. The location is perfect—just a short distance from the airport yet tucked away in a quiet, charming neighborhood. It’s an ideal base for exploring nearby destinations like Stellenbosch, with easy access and a peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality, comfort, and overall experience made this a standout choice. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a relaxing, well-located spot in Cape Town.
Riversong Guest House
Staying at Riversong Guest House was an absolute delight! The entire place was immaculately clean and well-maintained—every corner, from the bathroom to the bed linens, felt fresh and hygienic. I especially appreciated how spotless everything was, which made the whole experience feel more relaxing and comfortable. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and within easy reach of public transit, making it simple to explore Cape Town’s vibrant neighborhoods. Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere, and great value for money. I’d highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting Cape Town. It’s definitely a place I’ll come back to.
Thirty on Grace
Walking into Thirty on Grace, you're greeted with an open, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like a home than a hotel. The lush garden and sparkling pool create such a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Cape Town. Ros, the host, is absolutely wonderful—thoughtful, attentive, but never intrusive. She makes sure every need is met without ever overstepping. I loved the honesty bar—it’s so convenient and adds a nice touch of independence. The coffee machine is top-notch; perfect for morning brews. The rooms are spacious, beautifully furnished, and incredibly comfortable. It’s one of those places you instantly want to return to. If you’re looking for a stylish, relaxed stay with genuine hospitality, this is it.
