"We absolutely loved our stay at Parker Cottage. Our room, Fitzroy was spacious, comfortable and had everything we could need for our 4 night stay. Marion, Tomas, Jameson, Bartwell and all the staff couldn’t have made us feel more welcome and gave us all the information we needed to make the most of our stay in Cape Town. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. We couldn’t recommend our stay enough - you won’t be disappointed if you book here! "
"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the competent staff, and especially to Ms. Nadia, who made us feel welcome from the very first minute with their exceptional yet unobtrusive attention and courtesy. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Since I had to check out late on my last day, they provided me with free accommodation in another room until my flight time. If I ever visit Cape Town again, I would definitely stay at this hotel. "

Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
10/10 Excellent
"Comfortable beds in a great location with super helpful staff."
"From start to finish, this hotel delivered an exceptional experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The thoughtful touch of providing refillable water stations was both convenient and eco-conscious.
Dining at Ongetem was a highlight—the food was absolutely outstanding. The bed was so comfortable, I genuinely wished I could take it home with me! The hotel's central location made exploring the area effortless.
I would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

"Extremely well equipped and very comfortable, friendly staff, bad was fantastic, and price was very good
Convenient location
Improvements needed: Lighting over working desk is a problem"
"Our 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious with excellent furniture and all amenities including a washer even though I was told there wouldn't be one. "
"Stayed for 3 nights in June 2025 prior to a group tour. The hotel is great and all of the staff members were lovely and kind! The only negative about this hotel is that it is essentially at the end of a dead end road (there is a security fence surrounding the hotel), so you have to follow the road back out to the main street to go anywhere. That being said, we walked around quite a bit, even at night, and found the area very safe. "
