Cape Town Lodge Hotel - Cape Town

short walk to great restaurants and long st, clean, great bar and restaurant, car service was easier than getting a cab. i was in a suite with full kitchen, great bed and view of table mountain for ~$120/night.

Good value at this hotel. Our room had everything we needed (fridge, kettle, comfortable bed, even a full bathtub!) and was clean and well-maintained. All of the staff were helpful and pleasant, particularly at the front desk.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Honestly, this hotel didn't look like much from the outside but we were pleasantly surprised by the condition of our room. The room was very clean and well kept, it was a very large room, nice king size bed. The bathroom was immaculate with a wonderfully large soaking tub. The pool was quite small and not much of a view but the breakfast each morning […] made up for that! Read more

The hotel location is excellent, the shape of rooms is not ideal, the swimming pool is very small and does not qualify to called one. It is about 2.5 metres by 2metres. It should be removed from list of amenities. The staff in the front office are arogant and lack patience to explain anything. The restaurant food waos excellent but lacks a wide spectrum […] especially if you do not eat beef. Breakfast is fantastic. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

the staff were all fantastic. However the quality of the room was disappointing. The pillows and quality of the matress were poor. We sat in the hotel lobby one night to drink our wine as the small hotel bar allows smokers. Even though the hotel staff called us each night we were there to see if we were going to be eating dinner in the hotel restaurant, […] we chose not to as there was a smoking section. Read more

Its and okay hotel, and its away from all the big noise from the city center, and still is close to everything. It also have a nice restaurant and very nice bar inside. Good staff to always have you going with the hotel bus, to everywhere you want to go.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a very pleasant stay in a very good hotel, very well kept and with very gentle employees. The only negative aspect is that it´s located closed to downtown and there´s a bit of noise outside besides not looking a very safe surrounding especially at night (I mean, outside the hotel, so, if you need to go out, get a taxi and never walk even short […] distances).

I believe its really ok. The rooms were actually finer than the pictures you have on line. i enjoyed my stay there. it was worth the money paid.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was spacious and clean. The location of the hotel is superb, as it is close to the waterfront and nightlife scene. Enjoyed my stay there.

Genuine Expedia guest review

On two occasions hotel staff entered my room unannounced while I was undressed. The first was there to check the mini-bar and insisted on asking what I used even as I stood there shocked in my underwear. Second occasion involved staff member just walking in saying he was there to "check the room"??? Otherwise, front desk and concierge services were […] helpful. On site beef restaurant was pleasant but did not come close to serving quality of beef it advertised. Read more

WE travel allot and have good experiences in various levels of hotels. The Cape Town Lodge in Cape Town South Africa was one that we found to be a very high level. The reception personnel, support staff and dinning area staff were all well above averages in attitude, approach, service and knowledge of the area for tourists. We hightly recommend this […] facility. Read more

We stayed 4 nights (Dec. 6 - 9, 2011) at the hotel after an 18 day cruise from Europe. Everything about the hotel is first class. The onsite restaurant "The Famous Butchers Grill" was exceptional. Best value for the money in Cape Town.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The day before we were to check in (we were still on a cruise ship) and we went to get info on activities, bag storage, etc. They couldn't have been more helpful. Helped us plan an excellent all day tour for our last day. Every request we had, they couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. We arrived mid morning and were allowed to check into […] a very nice room way before check in time. Breakfast buffet was excellent -- even had a pianist playing! Our entire experience was excellent! Hated to leave! Read more

This hotel gave excellent service. An example was an express-mail for me that came ffom the US and arrived about a week before I did. I had called in advance and asked the hotel to hold it for me. Within 5 minutes after I checked in, the mail was delivered to my room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were much impressed by the unusually high standard of the artworks displayed on the walls throughout this hotel. The selections were from contemporary international and interesting African art and sculpture. The color schemes in the hotel were rich and warm reflecting the colors of Africa. The hotel location is great for walking to downtown sites […] and markets. It is also very convenient to a stop for the hop-on-hop-off bus giving ready access to important tourist features. The buffet breakfast was generous and varied in its selections to meet all tastes and the quality was very good. The piano music enhanced the atmosphere for an anjoyable and relaxed meal. The food in the Butchers dining room was outstandingly good. The service was excellent---not rushed, but attentive. We highly recommend this hotel as a great stop while in Cape Town. Read more

good hotel, helpful staff, excellent location. good value for money. pool on the roof makes a nice cool-down area. will stay here again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and it was just as good as we expected. It's located downtown and very close to the waterfront, which was good too. Just don't expect much from the swimming pool which was a lot smaller than it looks on the pictures. I would recommend it for people who are going to enjoy the city and not so much the hotel […] as it's not a resort or a place for kids to hang out. Read more

Good Business Hotel, clean room with mini bar and other required ammenities. Good beeding and pillows. The breakfast is perfectly good with excellent service provided

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was my second stay at the hotel. It is conveniently located and the rooms are comfortable. The bed was a little soft, but fine. It isn't a luxury hotel, but is clean and a good base for a stay in Cape Town, especially if you're going to be out all day. Internet is not included, so you have to buy vouchers. Parking is available for a charge. The […] staff is friendly and helpful. We got the room only rate so I cannot comment on the food there. Our biggest complaint is how slow the elevator is. When the hotel is busy you can literally wait 5 minutes for the hotel to come to you. Read more

Great. value for money

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I spent 9 days at this hotel in a loft suite, which was practically a one bedroom apartment, complete with brand new stainless steel appliances on the kitchen. It even came with a washer/dryer which was very convenient for someone spending so much time there and a big saving not having to use the hotel laundry services. The only negative was the breakfast, […] which was completely adequate by "hotel buffet breakfast" standards, There are a ton of much nicer places in the neighborhood (especially on Long Street) which are much better options and very reasonably priced. If I had to do it again (which I most likely will next time I'm in Cape Town) I would opt out of the "breakfast included" rate and just have breakfast outside of the hotel as I only had breakfast once in the hotel, thus was a waste of money to pay for the other 8 days. Nevertheless, a great hotel, wonderful room, quaint little pool on the 9th floor and a somewhat adequate gym as far as hotel gyms go. Read more

Great hotel, clean, good location, comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff, they helped us with an adapter since they only have SA plugs in the room. Do yourself a favor though and don't go to the hotel restaurant, it's the only disappointing meal I've ever had in South Africa... Totally recommend this hotel!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I often stay at the Cape Town Lodge. Location is super-convenient if you have a car, rooms are decently priced, and I must have dinner at the hotel's wonderful restaurant at least once. I will keep my business with Cape town Lodge - it's the most value-for-money/convenient hotel in downtown Cape town. You can't go wrong.

Breakfast great, nice restaurant.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel proved excellent value and good location, the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness of the room was exemplary and appeared to have fresh bed linnen and towels each day. The only downside waas the outlook from our room, which was into an enclosed courtyard and was overlooked by other bedrooms, requiring the curtains to be […] drawn together for complete privacy. If visiting Capetown again we would consider this hotel favourably. Read more

Overall a good experience - staff were friendly (for the most part), and the hotel and rooms were of a good standard. However the was a charge for wifi - and the service demanded that I re-login with password every time the connection was interrupted - very annoying for users who like to stay connected.

A very buzzy, entertaining city with lots to do and very good value for money. The best way we found to travel was by the red and blue route hop on/hop off buses. In ear headphones inform about the locations and access to everywhere is easy. Staff are very helpful and it is very safe. An important thing to note is that, in peak season, everywhere needs […] to be booked in advance, even restaurants. We missed out on a visit to Robben Island because they were booked up days in advance. We wanted to have high tea at The Mount Nelson hotel but couldn't as it was booked for the duration of our stay. But everywhere is spotlessly clean and extremely good value for money. The V+A Waterfront is a nice way to spend a few hours with plenty of shops and eateries overlooking the harbour. Table Mountain is a must to see as well as The Castle of Good Hope. The botanical gardens are beautiful too. Also a drive towards Cape Point at Boulders Beach is a lovely drive and a unique opportunity to see a colony of penguins in their natural habitat. Read more

Everything was perfect. They should howver have a flat rate daily for WIFI. The 500 MB was difficult for travels and businessmen. Nay be just charge 159 Rand a day

Friendly and helpful staff, good hotel in central location, close to all attractions except the V&A Waterfront, which is approx 2.5 kms, but a nice walk.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of the hotel seems to be a little shady at first, but I don't think it really was. It is very convenient for access to the city and waterfront. Parking was secure and reasonably priced. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was comfortable, it was nice to have air-con.

This was the best hotel that we have booked through you. It was central, a block away from the hop-on hop-off bus which we used for our transportation and sightseeing.

We stayed over for 3 nights and the stay was very pleasant. The night staffs were very friendly as well. My only concern was the parking facility. I have an SUV and found the parking bays, especially if you need to park on the upper level. I think that the parking fee per day should be in the hotels description up front before you make the booking. […] Just note that by paying this you are not guaranteed a parking space. You will have to leave your car keys with security if there is no space and they will park your car for you. Read more

Staff are courteous. There's a nice restaurant on the ground level - Butcher's Grill. The hotel is conveniently located a few minutes drive away from the Waterfront. The hotel has parking, a gym, and a small swimming pool. The parking is available on 2 levels. The second level can only be reached by driving up an extremely steep hill. If you don’t […] feel up to it, the staff will drive it up for you. Once up there, there is no lift or other pedestrian access to get down - you’ll have to walk down the steep driveway, which has only a wall to hold onto. Alternatively, you may get lucky if the building maintenance staff have unlocked a door on that level. The hotel staff don’t have access to these doors, and can’t unlock it for you. There's a double-parking system on the ground floor. Parking is first come first served. The only negative thing about my experience at the hotel is that although there are no smoking signs up everywhere, a strong smell of cigarette smoke permeates the reception area. It may be that the bar allows smoking, or perhaps some rooms allow smoking. As a result, our room had an odor of smoke in it. This was unpleasant, but I got used to it. I didn't bother to change rooms as we were there for a few days only. The room itself was spacious; our room had a nice view of District Six and the mountain. The bedding was clean and fresh, and there was a nice big bath, and a strong shower. There was also a minibar and snacks to tempt you - very handy. Read more

Nice hotel --good location -- you provided a really good rate--had a Xmas Eve dinner at the Grill restaurant --steak had no flavour --mushrooms greasy -- was sick next morning --had to vacate the room by 11 a.m. but my flight did not eave till 10 p.m. --airport 5/6 p.m. --as I had to vacate theroom and obviously did not feel up to going out I put my […] feet up on the couch in the bar lounge - noone else there -- Cindy (Manager) requested that I couldn't relax there ----suggested I go up ti the sitting room on the 5th floor -when I told her my situation and that I was feling unwell due to their food - she offered me a day room for R500 --due to the circumstances I felt the least she could do wouldbe to offer a room soI could lie down for a coupleof hours -- would have been a good P.R gesture.....but she was neither sympathetic nor caring -----she also does not pay her staff extra ortime and ahalf for working on a holiday....this angeered me too......sorry cannot recommend at all .....

Hotel is well situated far from a 4 star in several areas. First , we paid top dollar; the first room was far from commensurate with price and supposed description - it was awkwardly long, had a small bathroom right beside the door,a far distance from the bed; a strange configuration, the TV was in the center and you really could not see it straight […] on or watch it. There were 2 less chairs in front of the TV but hard to enjoy. Only benefit was a partial view of the Mountain. I called reception;we were given another room, but it was on the inner side facing a courtyard, so no privacy at all, very little right light. While the room was decent, its other features were a big deterrent - if you opened the blinds, other guests could see right in, both on same level and above, and the lack of light made it hard want to be there. In addition, the manager was unfriendly offering painful excuses, saying every room was the same and no other choices - which was untrue as we saw when we could observe the other rooms during our stay. Other drawbacks:no free WIFI. We had to purchase cards for WIFI ,grossly overpriced and instructions were misleading so your card running out without knowing- bad set uo, took a long time to get online. We ended up paying huge for WIFI, had to use internet cafes and a friend's room at the Hilton across the street where WIFI is free. Manager again was offensive. My advice: stay at the Hilton r elsewhere; I'd give this hotel a huge pass. Read more
