Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Newlands
If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful stay just a short drive from the city center, this hotel is perfect. Nestled in the serene neighborhood of Newlands, it's ideally located near Southern Sun, offering easy access to both urban attractions and a relaxed vibe. The area feels like a hidden gem—peaceful, safe, and full of local charm. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-designed with modern amenities, and the bathrooms are especially impressive—large, stylish, and stocked with high-quality toiletries. It’s clear the staff take pride in guest comfort. Whether you're here for business or leisure, the location strikes the ideal balance between convenience and tranquility. A standout choice for anyone wanting a stress-free, enjoyable stay in Cape Town.
Savoy Lodge
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.
Little House Villa
Staying at Little House Villa was a pleasant experience overall. The location is very convenient, with easy access to downtown via public transit. The room was clean and well-decorated, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I did have a slight concern about noise affecting nearby guests, but the soundproofing was better than expected—definitely not an issue during my stay. It’s a great spot for travelers looking for comfort and value, and I’d definitely consider returning.
Selton Guest House
A peaceful and quiet retreat in Cape Town, Selton Guest House offers a serene atmosphere perfect for unwinding. While we didn’t get a chance to swim due to the location being a bit further from the beach, the overall stay was excellent. The property is well-maintained, clean, and very welcoming. It’s also conveniently located for exploring the city—easy access to public transit and nearby attractions. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a calm, comfortable base while still being close to everything.
Akamah Estate
Akamah Estate is located in Cape Town and boasts a stunning setting with beautifully designed buildings and rooms that really showcase its potential. However, during my stay, I was left somewhat disappointed by the current state of the property. While the architecture and views are impressive, essential amenities are missing—there's no comfortable lounge area, no patio furniture, no fridge in the room, and even no hairdryer provided. It's clear this place functions primarily as a wedding venue, which creates challenges for other guests: the atmosphere can feel restricted, and there’s limited privacy or flexibility in shared spaces. The lack of basic comforts makes the experience less enjoyable than it could be. With more investment in guest facilities and better management of non-wedding bookings, Akamah Estate could become a standout destination. As it stands, though, the current offering doesn't match the promise of its beautiful surroundings.
Karibu Guesthouse
Staying at Karibu Guesthouse was a bit disappointing overall. The biggest downside? No parking available. Since Cape Town's city center is already tight on space and traffic can be hectic, not having a place to park your car made the trip stressful—especially if you're driving in from outside the area. While the location is convenient with lots of restaurants and attractions nearby, it's definitely a drawback for self-drive travelers. The room itself was basic, clean but nothing special, and the staff weren't particularly warm or helpful. For the price, I didn't feel we got much value in return. Unless you're staying without a car and don’t mind limited amenities, I wouldn’t recommend this place. It’s just not worth it for the experience.
Harfield Guest Villa
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.
Southern Sun Newlands
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.
John Bauer Pottery Studio
What a wonderful stay! Gail and Fadzi were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The studio apartment is beautifully designed with a unique artistic charm, especially the pottery studio corner—so creative and cozy. The whole atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it easy to imagine coming back again and again. Located in a quiet yet accessible part of Cape Town, it’s the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and tranquility. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic experience.
The Quadrant Apartments
Staying at The Quadrant Apartments was an absolute delight! The view of Table Mountain from the large windows was breathtaking—every morning felt like waking up in a postcard. The apartment itself was spotless, cozy, and well-designed with modern touches that made it feel like home. Communication with the team was excellent—prompt, friendly, and helpful throughout our entire stay. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Location is convenient, close to attractions and transport links, yet quiet enough to relax. It’s rare to find such a high-quality experience at this price point. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cape Town—truly unforgettable.
Vineyard Hotel
This hotel feels like a true oasis in the heart of Cape Town. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with real charm—spotting turtles wandering around added such a unique touch. The pool area is spacious and relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring. What truly stood out was the staff’s genuine care and attention. Especially grateful to the manager, Wilmo, who personally remembered our breakfast preferences—my husband doesn’t like eggs cooked the usual way, and Wilmo made sure they were prepared just right. That kind of thoughtful service makes all the difference. You can tell everyone here genuinely wants you to have a great stay. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about feeling welcomed and valued. Easy access to the city by public transit, excellent value, and unforgettable hospitality. Definitely coming back.
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.
