Lonely lodge
The rooms are occupied in the main by guests - in the evenings, & no-one is physically available for any query. Parking area should be fenced off and gated to protect the vehicles. Service is OK.

Comfortable, good value and ideally situated
We were made to feel very welcome at The Lions. The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was delicious and plentiful to the point that we didn’t need food again until dinner. There were complimentary cakes, sweets and port available in the common areas and a cozy lounge. We could see Table Mountain from the garden which no doubt we would have used a lot more if the weather had been better. We were really well placed to get into the city which you can easily do by bus, Uber (for about 30-40ZAR) or you can walk down in about 30 minutes. Marietta and the whole team were really helpful, regularly checking if the cable car was open for us and suggesting trips we could do. There are also a good number of restaurants and handy shops nearby. We’d definitely recommend Robben Island and Victoria and Alfred Waterfront as must dos. If you’re visiting Cape Town, we’d thoroughly recommend The Lions as a base, it’s perfectly situated and good value. #thenaughtonnomads

Pleasant stay
A pleasant stay with nice, friendly staff. We had the leopard room with a part view of the table mountain which looked lovely in the mornings. We loved the way the common rooms of the guesthouse were setup. The warmness of the staff was an added bonus. The breakfast made by Mariette was lovely. It is located in a safe neighborhood and close-by to the Table mountain. Although, they're in process of renovating their boundary wall and backside garden, it didn't really affect our stay. Although, it took some getting used to regarding the wooden floors which made creaking noise whenever anyone walked but then that's normal for a wooden floor, I suppose. Overall, a nice place with great hospitality by the staff.

The staff is friendly and helpful, the room quiet (though the street on which the guesthouse is situated is quite busy). I enjoyed my short stay.
