The staff is very helpful, and my room was huge and included a FULL kitchen with 4-burner stove (I didn't ask for that and am not sure how many rooms have that). The hotel is near the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, one of the most fun and safe places in town to wander around (although it's a full 15 mins walk away, and you can't really safely do that walk after dark; the hotel will suggest that you take a taxi).
The weekend receptionist is warm & friendly. Provided excellent tourist advice.
The person who checked us in was friendly & detail.
Con number keys, entry devices to enter/exit. Thin walls.
Barbara and Harry were terrific! Our triple room was very comfortable. We are staying there again in early January. Greenhouse is in an excellent location. Close to V&A.
This is a safe place to stay in a city that is increasingly dangerous. Judith on the front desk is the perfect host. But there is no breakfast or even a kitchen in the guest house.
There are, however, eateries close-by. I would recommend this property and will stay here again.
Great place! Very clean and strong security, which I appreciated. There was even a safe in the room which was a nice touch. Great shower. Comfortable bed. The girl, Judith, who checked me in was so sweet and helpful! Overall positive experience.
This guesthouse was exactly what I needed during my stay in Cape Town. It has a tremendous amount of charm that can only exist in a property that is a little bit older. The couple that run it are very, very nice people, as were the other staff members that I met. My unit had a small refrigerator and microwave and there are grocery stores a short walking distance away. The Victoria and Alfred waterfront is also within walking distance. If you're looking for a modern hotel with all the amenities, this is not the place for you, but if want a clean room in a charming house with people who make you feel like family, you've found it!
Beautiful hotel and convenient location with a lovely staff. I felt like I was at home.
The hotels in a safe location so Everything is accessible by foot. The waterfront is a 10-15 minute walk but beware you’ll get deterred on your walk because there’s so much to see on the way.
There are various restaurant options up and down the street and one of the best ice cream shops in Cape Town just a 5 minute walk.
I wished I could have stayed longer there.
The room was more of a cozy apartment. The room was spacious with working television and AC. It also had its own kitchen with skylight.
You will have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to the hotel. I did receive assistance to get the luggage’s out on my last day there.
Additionally- EMPHASIS on the staff being kind!
I had my flight leaving at 9 pm and although I couldn’t keep the room for several more hours before that, the staff kindly offered to hold on to my luggage’s while explored the city. I was even offered to use their general space for down time. I took them up on the luggage and spent a beautiful last day in CPT.
I would say my only negative was getting a knock on my door by a staff to take pictures of her with a few others who were guests of the hotel. I thought that was very presumptive, given she would have to assume I’m not busy/sleeping, but also I’m a paying guest, and being disturbed for something like that was inappropriate.
Overall, you can’t go completely wrong staying here.
