Fabulous 8.6 From 179 reviews
It was a last minute decision, but well worth the detour from our plans. Best fitting for a young professional but did the job on our family trip. Very clean, with essentials in the ‘kitchen’ area - including the kitchen towel, but no warmth due to bare floors. However, the hotel provides sleepers. Bakery near by for breakfast.
Wonderful boutique hotel. Great location, large comfy room and very helpful staff. We would highly recommend it.
This is a small and very nice hotel. The rooms are exactly as seen in the pictures: modern decor and spacious. I was impressed. The location is perfect. The hotel is located in the city center with many restaurants and shops around.
The room itself is nice, but on Friday and Saturday nights it's very, very loud in my front-facing room. You're above two extremely active tourist bars. Cool if you're into partying, bad if you're not. When I complained at check out, the woman suggested I had not closed the windows and drapes properly. She was mistaken. Just be aware if you're there over the weekend in a front-facing room -- during the week I imagine it's fine.
Management was great. Rooms were as good as some "better" places in the USA. Not many buildings in S. Africa have forced-air heating (like zero), most have very inefficient space heaters, heating panels, towel heaters(really!). Our rooms at the Hippo were not an exception; we had to wear jackets and other layers to stay warm in the middle of winter (only down to 45-deg F - I'm sure the room was not nearly that cold). They just do some things different here in Cape Town (like showers dripping straight down from directly overhead).
