"Not so nice staff, and saw some flies on the breakfast food on the buffet "

"Loved our room and the entire hotel. I believe there were only 2 other guest rooms occupied when we were there in late March 2026. Breakfast was delightful and Rizea was particularly nice to pack us a to go breakfast when we needed to leave early in the morning on our first day there. Loved the glassed enclosure and the beautiful indoor gardens. We’d definitely stay there again! "

"Excellent staff. Very friendly. Very warm. The balcony door didn’t lock and the chain lock on main door was missing. One of the drawers in the bathroom was also off its track."

"If you are looking for a nice warm and quiet stay in Newlands outside of the craziness of downtown. This is the place to be, lovely couple that own the Newlands Guesthouse with fantastic staff. If only they had control of the weather. I went it the autumn and lots of rain."

"I stayed at Little Scotia for two weeks. It is in a great location with quick access to the CBD, V&A, and all the nature spots like Table Mountain and the botanical gardens. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town."

"Very basic, but things work. Good location if you're running Two Oceans. Room is comfortable, but aircon is a bit unreliable. No shampoo etc was provided for the shower, which is a bit disappointing. "

"Beautiful hotel! The pools are absolutely amazing and make the stay feel special. One of the highlights was the local tortoises on the property—it’s such a unique and memorable connection to nature. A truly enjoyable experience overall."

"Do NOT stay here. The “hut” was ridiculously tiny and claustrophobic barely enough space to stand, let alone move around comfortably as two adults. There was zero storage, so we were forced to live out of our suitcases for the entire stay. It was miserable and exhausting. While the property looked somewhat maintained, it was overrun with cats everywhere you turned. The pool was completely inaccessible the whole time. The bar area, which should have been a relaxing spot, was disgusting because a cat was parked on the counter every single day like it owned the place. The mini-bar setup was shady and completely unprofessional. No prices listed anywhere they just charged whatever they wanted for whatever you drank. It felt sketchy and unregulated. They advertise breakfast, but not a single meal was ever served. We had to leave the property and pay for food every single day, which added even more expense to this already terrible stay. On our very last day they suddenly cut the water off to our hut with zero warning. We couldn’t even use the bathroom. When we complained, they casually said they needed to “get a plumber.” Of course, the water had been working perfectly fine until that morning, and it was running everywhere else on the property except our room. It was incredibly inconvenient and felt intentional. For international travelers especially do your research! The ridiculous nightly rate we paid could have easily gotten us a proper apartment with a full kitchen for much less"

"Great stay! Check-in was efficient, staff were friendly. The room was comfortable and clean."
