Staying at Southern Sun Newlands was a fantastic experience—affordable without compromising on comfort or location. The hotel is perfectly situated just a short walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Cape Town’s vibrant neighborhoods. Public transport is nearby, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance. The room was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious for the price. The bed was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. For travelers looking for a great value option with excellent access to attractions and amenities, this is definitely a top choice.
Staying at Cape Town Hollow Boutique Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Cape Town. The hotel is incredibly clean, quiet, and comfortable—just a 50-meter walk from the French Consulate, making it super convenient for travelers. The room with the view of Table Mountain was breathtaking; waking up to that panoramic vista every morning was pure magic. I highly recommend this room type. The breakfast and restaurant were both excellent—fresh, well-prepared, and full of local flavors. But what truly stood out was the front desk team. They went above and beyond by organizing a two-day private driver tour to the Cape of Good Hope and nearby vineyards at a very reasonable rate (€150 per day). The tour was flawless—the driver was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to assist, even offering extra tips and stops beyond the original plan. This level of personalized service made our experience unforgettable. If you're looking for comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality in Cape Town, this hotel is a must-visit.
This place is absolutely stunning! I couldn’t believe how incredible it was for the price. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, the breakfasts are delicious with fresh local flavors, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking—really made every morning special. It was truly sad to leave. The neighborhood is fantastic: just a 10-minute walk to the beach, with plenty of great restaurants and cozy cafés nearby. Even walking around at night felt safe and peaceful. This guesthouse offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, charm, and location—highly recommend for anyone visiting Camps Bay!
Located in the heart of Cape Town's upscale area, this simple yet well-priced hotel offers great value. I stayed in Room 2 for one night—spacious and comfortable with plenty of outlets compatible with European plugs. The Wi-Fi was reliable and strong throughout the stay. The bathroom and shower area are generous in size, though water pressure could be better. The wardrobe is just adequate for a short stay. Basic amenities are provided, and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. One minor downside: we could hear quite a bit of noise from guests chatting in the common area late at night, but it didn’t ruin the experience. Best part? It’s only a 10- to 15-minute walk to the waterfront promenade and the beach—perfect for morning strolls or sunset views. Overall, considering the location and price point, this is a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and comfort without breaking the bank.
My stay at Newlands Peak Aparthotel by Totalstay was absolutely fantastic. The location is excellent—just a short walk from local cafes, shops, and public transport, making it super convenient for exploring Cape Town. The apartment was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The bed was a bit narrow, but since we’re on the slimmer side, it wasn’t an issue at all. Overall, the value for money was outstanding, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the ambiance felt cozy and welcoming. I’d definitely book here again next time I’m in Cape Town.
Staying at Place on the Bay was an absolute delight. While meals aren’t included, the hotel offers complimentary housekeeping services—already covered in the room rate—so you don’t have to worry about cleanliness. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, which made self-catering easy and convenient. But what truly stands out is the breathtaking sea view and unbeatable location—just steps away from the waterfront and well-connected to public transit. The slightly outdated bathroom is more than forgiven when you’re gazing at the ocean every morning. Special shoutout to the front desk staff—though I forgot her name—she spoke clear, fluent English with genuine warmth and professionalism. She helped me plan a day trip and gave excellent local tips. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. Overall, this place offers a unique blend of charm, comfort, and value. Definitely worth a visit—and I’ll be back!
Staying at On Pinewood Guest House was an absolute highlight of my trip to Cape Town. Nestled right under the mountain, the property offers a serene and breathtaking setting that feels worlds away from the city hustle. The space is beautifully designed with a modern yet cozy touch—especially the open-plan living area, kitchen, and private lounge, which made relaxing or entertaining a breeze. I loved having access to the pool and outdoor seating areas, perfect for morning coffee with a view. Location-wise, it's super convenient for getting around town, whether by public transit or short drives. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a real home away from home. 10/10 would book again without hesitation.
Absolutely stunning stay at African Vibes! We only had one night here before heading into central Cape Town, but we were lucky enough to book The Lions Den room — and it was worth every penny. The balcony view is unbeatable: panoramic vistas of Camps Bay and the iconic Lion's Head mountain. Sunset here is truly magical — you won’t find a better spot in the city. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and welcoming service. Getting around was super easy too — Uber rides in and out of the airport or downtown were quick and reliable. If you're visiting Cape Town, don’t miss this gem. Booking here is a must — you’ll thank yourself later!

Most rooms come with both a bathtub and shower, which is a nice touch. The downstairs area feels open and airy, perfect for relaxing or gathering with friends. Our balcony was just right for soaking up the sun, and the views of the ocean and Table Mountain were breathtaking—especially at sunset. Daily housekeeping service kept everything tidy, with towels changed every other day and fresh bedding midweek. Dan and Edna went above and beyond—they were warm, friendly, and always ready to help. They kept the whole place spotless and running smoothly throughout our stay. From start to finish, the experience felt personal and seamless. If you're looking for a hotel that combines comfort, convenience, and excellent hospitality, this is it. We’ll definitely be back.
