Holiday Inn Express Cape Town City-Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, clean, quiet, good breakfast and friendly staff. I would recommend and stay here again for sure!"

Protea Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved staying at this hotel. My husband and I got married in Cape Town while we stayed here and we loved all the conveniences. It’s in the waterfront district so you can easily walk to all the shops and dining and it’s super safe. We had no problems walking on our own at night and felt completely safe- that was a big deal for us as most places are not like that. Beautiful rooms and great food. We loved our stay here- no complaints at all. "

The Trade Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the hotel twice, with a brief trip to Safari in between (the hotel was happy to hold one bad in between which was much appreciated). It's a very well located hotel, so close to some fantastic bars, coffee shops and restaurants (Rosetta Roastery, Nikkei & Clarkes particular local highlights for us). The rooftop bar and pool is a lovely spot to watch the sun go down. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we would happily return."
