Accommodation

When it comes to finding somewhere to rest your weary head, there is a multitude of Cape Town accommodation venues. Whether you are looking for the sheer opulence of a 5-star hotel or luxury villa, guesthouses and B&B’s or are on a shoestring budget and happy to share a dorm with five other people, we review the many establishments in Cape Town. There are also many self-catering options available to suit all budgets. From how easy it is to find the establishment to the kind of welcome you can expect, the quality of the linen to the bounciness of the mattress, the water pressure in the showers to cleanliness of the ablution facilities, we critique it all.

Cape Town tourism has seen a massive increase in recent years, which has sparked the interest of many a foreign investor. As a result, Cape Town is proud to offer a selection of internationally acclaimed hotels to suit even the most discerning of travelers. With many of them being featured in The Leading Hotels of the World, guests can be sure that their chosen establishment will live up to its reputation. From first class service to exceptional dining experiences, the latest facilities and amenities, and array of services, a stay at any of the luxurious Cape Town hotels is a memorable experience.

However, if you find that the opulence of these hotels leaves you feeling lonely then you may prefer a guesthouse or B&B. These are usually run by the owners who also stay at the establishment, so guests will enjoy a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Often a stay at this accommodation type will include one or more meals, allowing guests to enjoy home style meals while away from home. Backpackers’ lodges may also include meals in the tariff and are ideal for students who are exploring this beautiful city.

If you enjoy your privacy or require a larger establishment for a family, then a self-catering venue may be the way to go. Here you have the freedom to come and go as you please, prepare your own meals, and enjoy your own space. Many of the more exclusive self-catering units offer the option of catered meals and a daily cleaning service, at an additional rate.

So if you are planning to visit Cape Town but are not sure which venue you would like to make home base, have a look at our many Cape Town accommodation reviews and pick your favorite establishment.
