In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
5 reasons to book- Rooftop bar and terrace — Guests repeatedly highlight the rooftop bar for its atmosphere and views. It's a central social space, also used for welcome drinks.
- Excellent staff — From reception to housekeeping, staff are described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Special touches like crayons for children are noted.
- Central Long Street location — The hotel is in the heart of Cape Town's commercial district, close to restaurants, cafes, and a few minutes from a historic square. The Red Bus tourist stop is nearby.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities rating below other categories — The facilities score of 7.0 is notably lower than other ratings, suggesting some guests may find the shared spaces or amenities lacking compared to rooms and service.
- Potential for booking mix-ups — One review notes a mix-up with trailer availability, resulting in an upgrade at no extra cost. While resolved fairly, it's a possible hiccup for those specifically booking the trailers.
- Street noise possible — Though many guests find rooms quiet, the central location on Long Street with hooting taxis and nearby restaurants means some external noise is possible.
- Parking may be limited — Parking is available, but the central location suggests it might be at a premium. No specific details on parking availability or cost are provided.

8.2Verified guest“The rooftop bar has a great atmosphere, and the Airstream accommodation is quirky. The location is central.”
8.2Verified guest“The location was particularly good and amazing, the public spaces were clean and the staff was best. The hotel was adjacent to the center of Cape Town's commercial district, a restaurant and hooting taxis. Stopped by Raw and Roxy to get some coffee and treats, it's minutes away from the venue, recommend. Our room was well laid out with a work desk, coffee and tea making equipment, and TV.”
8.2Verified guest“By and large, it was exceptionally comfortable and cool place with incredible staff in a friendly and very helpful manner. The location was marvellous and brilliant, close to a historical square.”
8.2Verified guest“Our expectations were clearly exceeded. We spontaneously looked for a hotel in downtown Cape Town and were welcomed in the hotel in a friendly way. Since our room was not ready yet (we were a little early) we were invited for a drink on the great roof terrace until the room was ready for occupancy a short time later. Our rooms were spacious, modern and very clean. Every evening someone from housekeeping came and asked if everything was ok and offered sweets as a bedtime snack. Despite the central location, the rooms were quiet and thanks to air conditioning pleasantly tempered, you could also open the windows. The bathrooms were modern and with daylight. In the adjacent restaurant, there was every morning an excellent a la carte breakfast. You could choose from several options on the menu, omelette, granola, fruit bowls - plus fresh orange juice and coffee/tea. The staff was also very friendly and courteous in all areas. We can only recommend this accommodation, we would stay overnight here again any time.”
8.2Verified guest“The breakfast was great as it was not like a classic hotel breakfast, but in a cafe / restaurant next door. The staff was also very friendly and I really liked the welcome drink on the rooftop bar. The rooftop bar is exceptional. The location in Longstreet is ideal, the location of the Red Bus for tourists is nearby and is very central for many activities. The room was clean, it was cleaned every morning and the room was also prepared in the evening. The design of the hotel has charm.”
