10/10 Exceptional

Unique boutique hotel, with a central, open air courtyard check in. No elevator but we loved it! Staff were so friendly and accommodating and our room had its own patio. Roof top bar (not open for the season yet while we were there) had lovely views . On a fairly steep hill with narrow cobblestone sidewalks so not really handicapped accessible. Would recommend.

Lovely hotel clean modern rooms bed very comfy! Staff all friendly and breakfast was nice. Good location for walking to Long Street and 20 min to V&A waterfront or Uber is very reasonable. Really nice restaurants in Cape Quarter minute walk away, also has good supermarket, Clicks and used Sorbet nail bar all excellent

Séjour sans fausse note ! L’hôtel est extrêmement bien situé, possibilité d’aller au Waterfront, le centre ou dans Bo-Kaaba à pied, restaurants tout autour, le personnel est vraiment très très accueillant et la chambre 3 avec la terrasse vue sur la Table Mountain était parfaite. Je recommande vivement !

The Ultimate Cape Town Experience

It’s almost impossible to find enough amazing words to describe this hotel experience. The hotel itself is boutique, and everything about it feels so personal and custom. Uniquely designed and attention to every detail. The rooms are full Comfort. And the staff, will let me just say as a world traveler it is a rare pleasure to have so much incredible care and personal service. The property is located with an easy access of all the most important things of Cape Town, surrounded by the most charming mixed commercial residential venue/gallery/restaurants and easy to access Uber for day trips. The rooftop patio has stunning views. Honestly, no need to look anywhere else. This hotel has it all. A special thanks to the manager, and I would like to offer my sincere gratitude and a big hug for you. 💕💕 neighborhood photos included.

10/10 Exceptional

The Grey Hotel is the only way to go when in Cape Town. Nestled near Bo-Kaap and the V and A Waterfront, it provided every thing I needed. Loved the staff.Especially Mrs. Martha, Warren and Luigi. Mrs. Blessings made breakfast delightful. Great place! Can’t wait until my return!

The Grey was great. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Lovely room - No 4 with terrace with views of Table Mountain. Bathroom compact but large shower with good water pressure. Located at top of a hill so be prepared for walk back up after a day sight seeing.

Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. Great location, cute & clean rooms but the staff were our favorite. Everyone was very helpful and Warren set us up with wine on the rooftop in the evenings, which had an amazing view of table mountain. Great spot with a cozy feel. Would definitely recommend

A Welcome Return

Always look forward to returning to wonderful space. It is a true boutique hotel with great character and design and outstanding service levels in a great area of town.

10/10 Exceptional

good choice

Great design hotel in De Waterkant area. Huge bed and quiet. Staff was very friendly and this neighbourhood was safe. Next to Cape quarter with restaurants and a big supermarket
Janne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very service-oriented staff in a convenient place

Staff was polite and beyond amazing. They gave us good advices on the safety of the De Waterkant area (generally safe to walk around at night as there are a lot of security staff stationed around). Since we stayed in winter their Skybar and Pianobar was closed, but they had a breakfast area which served very tasty breakfast. There was also the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village Mall nearby which had a SPAR supermarket which met all our needs. De Waterkant is one of the recommended place to stay in Cape Town if you want to be near the V&A Waterfront and CBD. The room which we stayed (Room 10) was also spacious and had enough room for 2 people. I strongly recommend this hotel.
