The first 2 nights, the room I paid for wasn’t given to me —- I was told that the GM would contact me about getting the difference back and that still hasn’t happened. I eventually got the room I paid for and requested on the 3rd night, however I almost didn’t receive it because I was told an “influencer” was going to be there to take photos and such, which as an influencer as well I understand, however my reservations as well as unresponded to emails stated exactly what I needed weeks prior to my arrival. When we finally did get into the room, the shower was flooding, maintenance worked on it for two days and eventually it started working properly. However because of the dampness due to the flooding there were water bugs in the room, so we had to make sure our luggage was properly zipped and in the closet safely put away. On the second to last night the hot water stopped working …. The night manager was going to have us shower in a guest public bathroom two floors down and across the hotel, as a woman, that made me uncomfortable. But luckily the day time manager the following day found us another bathroom on our floor in a private room for us to shower and change comfortably. The best thing I can say about this place was that all the staff were truly amazing and by staff I mean the employees who work there and the managers on duty—> not including the General Manager who has yet to contact me.

Good bed. Great breakfast. Quirky layout which meant you always had stairs, even after using lift, this way okay for us, but maybe a problem for others. Help with luggage was very useful.

Great location. Hotel kindly upgraded us for our honeymoon. Room was nice and had a small balcony with lovely view of table mountain. It’s an older hotel so felt a bit tired (sound proofing could be better and the water from the shower leaked all over the floor each time). Overall nice stay, we enjoyed the restaurants nearby!

Cloud 9 was a beautiful hotel! Right when you walk in, it smells so good. There’s a spa inside the hotel so that might be why, but i definitely appreciated it. The staff was INCREDIBLY kind and helpful and just all around wonderful. South African people are so hospitable. The room was gorgeous and clean and the beds were super comfortable. Getting around was easy as the location is very convenient. The rooftop bar has a great view and the restaurant below is delicious. The pool deck is really nice and the little pool is actually heated unlike many pools I’ve encountered. It’s super nice. Overall, great stay. Would go again and recommend to others.

This hotel was exceptional. Clean, spacious room and bathroom, with an amazing shower. The bed was so comfortable. Rooftop terrace has outstanding views of Table mountain & Lion’s head, and the food was also delicious. The location makes it a great jumping off point for all the touristy destinations, and we would happily stay here again!

The check in was bad. The gates to the property were locked, and no signs with any type of direction as to where the reception is. Coming from another country, I was not just able to use my phone to call, so I had to wait for another guest to come and they called. It was not a good experience at all!

Dear Angelina Sorry you had difficulties getting into the property. If I understood your comment you were at the back parking entrance of the hotel and not at our front door. The parking area has a camera and a buzzer you can press and we can open the parking gate from the reception area. The front door is an automatic door that is accessible 24 hours a day. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope you enjoyed your stay with us.

Cloud 9 has had a revamp and it is fabulous! Such a warm welcome from reception, lush rooms with a very comfortable bed and proper coffee (Nespresso). The rooftop bar is great! There are also two plunge pools and a sauna, which was especially turned on for me the morning after a night out ;) Highly recommend staying here! Thanks team!
