Urban Chic Boutique Hotel, Cape Town

Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean hotel. Only issue is street noise can be a bit loud.

The service was friendly and the hotel was nice. I appreciated that they gave warnings about what to avoid in the neighborhood to keep yourself safe. The rooms were nice and very spacious. The only downside, which wasn't the hotel's fault, is that the noise from Long Street continued until at least 4am. Just a thought to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper.

Long Street in Cape Town is a party mecca. That said, this hotel is in the heart of the scene and surrounded by drug dealers, drunken backpackers, and other "characters." The hotel itself is fine. Nothing exciting. Beds are comfy and the bathrooms are superbly outfitted (except mine was missing toilet paper... easily remedied). TV didn't really work while I was there, so I watched Mandela's memorial on my laptop. Noise levels are HIGH and carry on until the wee hours of the morning. If you want to party, this is your spot. If you need to sleep before 3am, give it a skip.

My time there was great and really enjoyed the place. If you are travelling with a familly don't pick a room or even an hotel on long street or you won't sleep until 4am. For anyone else great place to befor a drink and rather safe as far as I can tell.

Stayed just 1 night (a Friday) with a friend, purposely chose the hotel as we knew we would be out on long street or nearby, we walked everywhere, enjoyed the free cake offered on the afternoon ( barman too busy to make coffee though), had a Thai massage across the street and found the room large and comfortable. Our room overlooked long street bars so was very noisy even when we got back from our night out- good earplugs a must, but I did know this when booking. Overheard an older couple checking in and they were told they had the quietest room in the hotel- assume this overlooked the side street. Breakfast included was very good continental then hot course. Overall good value if you chose for the location & are happy with the nightlife noise!
