Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel

We stayed at Cape Cadogan at the beginning of our South Africa trip and loved it. The staff were always warm and wanted to make sure you had everything you need. The bed and linens were top notch. We had a little private courtyard with a table and surrounded by greenery. The public spaces were somehow both luxurious and relaxed. The have an honor bar in the afternoon/evenings and it was so pleasant to have a glass of wine in the living room after a dinner out. There are wonderful touches like a large bowl of cold water bottles to grab on your way in or out. Little chocolates every night in your room. It feels very secluded, an oasis in the busy restaurant-full Kloof Street area, as opposed to the more sterile hotel district downtown. Oh, and don't miss a dinner at Upper Union on the property -- really attentive service. The raw oysters were excellent. Breakfast to order in included and we loved sitting on the patio in the morning lingering over coffee. Want two lattes, one for here and one to go? No problem! I am so happy to give good reviews when I find an excellent property and if you can, I fully recommend you stay here when you are in Cape Town.

Lovely decor, comfortable bed and amenities, friendly and professional staff, delicious dinner at Upper Union, walking distance to Mount Nelson and other restaurants. Nice additions are an afternoon cake and early evening nibbles. All in all, a great place to stay.

Lovely hotel, lovely staff. Excellent breakfast. Great location for walking along Kloof and Bree Streets, which were very safe and with great options to eat and drink. Front desk was very helpful with making dinner reservations, safety tips, walking directions, etc.

Few probs with tv in room and on initial arrival was stuffed around with ‘room being ready, oh no it’s not ready’Just needed clarification by receptionist not mucked around Then along came Yanick and Wilfred These front of front of house guys are amazing Restaurant Upper Union within the complex was brilliant Swimming area superb

The Team at Cape Cadogan have truly nailed hospitality. Venessa and the team all go above and beyond to ensure you have a stay to remember. The attention to detail in the hotel from the plants in every room, the hand painted walls in every room, the products left for guests to use, to the exceptional breakfast you experience at the next door Upper Union really makes your stay nothing but exceptional. This boutique hotel is able to create a home away from home, considering nothing but comfort to ensure a memorable stay. The location of the hotel is ideal as you are walking distance from some of the best cafes and restaurants in Capetown. The neighbourhood is safe and the hotel has the lovely Joel who is able to assist with parking. This is a place I will definitely be returning to and couldn’t recommend a stay here more highly!

Hotel is 3/5 stars. Rooms are instagramable but missing certain touches that are pretty obvious. The pros: Rooms are tasteful. Shower is great. Towels are good. Bed is comfy. Grounds are nice. The cons: Street is noisy. Hallways noisy. We had 3 rooms Everyone was woken up either by staff/guests/street noise. No sheer curtains in rooms so if you want sunlight and want to walk around topless it’s an issue. No Concierge. Porters and reception welcoming and attentive but don’t know much about the area so very much DIY. Gym is a joke and needs major facelift. Treadmills antiquated. No other machines. Just some free weights. Better off having a partnership with a local gym for guests and converting that gym into another hotel room. Breakfast decent but service a bit in the clouds and not attentive.
