8.9Verified guest“Excellent little modern hotel, ideal for a one-night stop in Cape Town. The staff are genuinely friendly and offer a free wake-up service and ironing. The room is spacious and the bathroom is luxurious.”
8.9Verified guest“Cape Heritage Hotel has oodles of character. It's well located for easy drives to Camps Bay and Clifton, as well as to the Waterfront and city shops. The hotel is in a historic building on a charming square, which added to its appeal. As a wine club member, I was intrigued that the hotel has the oldest fruit-bearing grapevine in South Africa – quite something. Two excellent restaurants, The Savoy Cabbage and HQ, are right on the square. My room was comfortable and I loved the decor – every room has its own eclectic style. All in all, a wonderful stay.”
8.9Verified guest“Great hotel atmosphere with friendly staff. It felt more like a well-equipped guest house than a hotel. Very enjoyable and a great location with quick access to highways.”
8.9Verified guest“The staff are amazing, always willing, always smiling, always friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were clean and well prepared.”
