10/10 Exceptional

Great Hotel, central located
Jose, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a good location for getting around downtown Cape Town. It was easy and inexpensive to use Uber to go to places that were a little farther away. The hotel does not have a concierge so we had to figure out a lot of things on our own. The bed was a little hard, and the pillow is very flat.

Great hotel at a great value!

The SunSquare was a great place to spend our five nights in Capetown! It is a beautiful hotel, in a great location - in City Bowl and walking distance to V&A - and the staff was great. The room was wonderful and even had a view of Bo-Kaap. The full breakfast has everything and was tasty though it was a bit slow at times given some big crowds. The rooftop had a pool and also bar with outside seating and incredible views of the harbor and also Table Mountain. The hotel was very helpful arranging airport transfer. Really wonderful hotel and very reasonable.

Great hotel and value

Hotel was much better than I expected given the price I paid. Hotel was immaculate, the lobby, restaurant, roof top bar and my room. Breakfast, which was included, was great! I will definitely stay here next time.

My 3. great stay!

Best Hotel in Terms of Price/Performance and close to the Waterfront. Great Breakfast and a cool Rooftop Bar too. Newly remodeled Bathrooms.
Luz Adriana, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful new property. Location excellent to explore market and muslim section but evening can look bit scary as there are homeless around. I wouldn’t mind staying rather here and take Uber around that is about $4 to go anywhere around town and be in nice property than to be at Waterfront that is located close to the restaurants but is very wore down. Loved this hotel

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant stay with very friendly and helpful team. Would stay there again. For sight-seeing ideal place to do everything by foot.
Bernd, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at this hotel for 4 extra nights after our 2 week South Africa tour ended. It was a great location to walk to many meeting points for the tours we organized. The room was on the small side but we managed with one queen bed. The full breakfast (included) had plenty to choose from. All staff were attentive & helpful while assisting with our many questions. We highly recommended this hotel!
Wendy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Within walking distance of everywhere I wanted to visit. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
Carol, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff exceedingly helpful. Was able to secure luggage, until our room was ready for early check in. Minimal cost for early check in. Porters extremely helpful with luggage. Room large, quite and very comfortable. Was able to get late checkout at no additional cost. Staff very helpful with all of our needs. Excellent service at attached restaurant. Breakfast included. Sparkling water and red wine delivered to our room at no charge. Assisted with luggage as well as calling for taxi for departure. Excellent internet.. If ever in Cape Town SA, this will be our first choice for lodging.
Evert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay Somewhere Else - Bad Service

My stay was less than pleasant. Customer service was subpar. They didn’t have a room available for 2 people on the first night, so my sister and I had to split up and then change rooms the second. Also, the breakfast is mediocre. The amenities and toiletries and subpar. Location is dangerous for tourists. We were told not to walk around on the streets - only take Ubers. I would recommend staying in the V&A Waterfront instead. Or out at Camps Bay if you want a beach.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for business

Location was perfect for our new office, the hotel reception rooms and the bar on the 14th floor, but my room 1207 suffers from noise from the bar above, would I use the hotel again Yes, but would request to be on the other side to avoid the noise from the bar above
Stewart, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and nice rooms
Jaime, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it at all

It is a modern hotel with good facilities, in a very central location. However, in terms of services, it cannot be considered a hotel, as the cleaning is extremely poor and the service non-existent... to top it off, if you want to live the authentic youth hostel experience, don't miss the noisy and chaotic breakfast! (I would like to attach pictures of the rubbish i found in the room but i am not allowed to updload it)

10/10 Exceptional

The included breakfast was amazing, the pool and rooftop are beautiful. Restaurant great. Despite reading negative reviews, we found every staff member to be incredibly helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Family of 4 - 9 and 13 year of kids.

Great location and view!

Comfortable, hotel that is centrally located with a great breakfast. Rooms are a little small for two people but the view is fantastic. Gym, roof top pool, and great staff make it the perfect place to stay while in Cape Town.
