The Silo Hotel

We were between tours to Victoria Falls so we decided to upgrade a stay in Cape Town and go to The Silo Hotel. WOW!!! The room was a deluxe suite and amazing!! Outlets galore, heated floors, 2 zone air/heat, balcony amazing views and service. Roof top bar & pool, great restaurant and bar down below. Simply elegant yet very relaxed and I just can say enough about the service!!

So obviously NOT a five star hotel. I would rate it 2 or, at best, 3 star. The reception is pokey and small. We had drinks on the Roof-Top Bar which is tawdry and clearly in need of a refurb. The swimming pool is a tiny dip that you cannot possibly swim in. At the end of our dinner there, the one hotel employee in reception said he would call a “hotel taxi” for us. A dilapidated car turned up with a taxi sign on the roof, which the driver immediately took down as we entered the taxi ( because it wasn’t fixed to the roof of the car ). The seat belts didn’t work and the handle fell off in my wife’s hands. The driver wanted to charge us R500 for our return drive to the Vineyard Hotel, but after 100 yards turned back because he said his car had a flat tyre. Eventually we got an Uber to The Vineyard for R230. For anyone wanting a real five star hotel in Cape Town, you must avoid this hotel.

WARNING: AVOID THE SILO HOTEL – THEFT & COVER-UP! This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. During our honeymoon, my wife’s Rolex— which had more sentimental value than anything— was STOLEN from our room. The hotel did absolutely NOTHING to help us. Instead, they ran a fake "investigation," claimed they checked security footage, and stalled me until I left the country. I exchanged multiple emails with them, and they kept stringing me along, promising to "fix things." But in reality, all they did was delay me from filing a police report, telling me to wait until their so-called investigation was complete. It was all a tactic to make sure I ran out of time. The truth is simple: valuables are NOT SAFE here, and management will do whatever it takes to avoid accountability. A beautiful hotel means nothing if your belongings can disappear, and the staff covers it up. BEWARE BEFORE STAYING HERE – YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

From the moment you arrive at this exquisite hotel in the Waterfront, you are exposed to a very unique experience that will remain among your fondest memories - the service is exceptional - the ambiance, world class, the food is fine-dining and the views of Table Mountain and the city is the best in the whole of Cape Town - a must visit and well recommended for those with an appreciation for the finer things in life.

I travel extensively for work, and this hotel stands out from the crowd. The attention to cleanliness is impressive, and the bedding quality rivals any five-star property. The staff demonstrates exceptional problem-solving skills - when I had an urgent printing need late at night, they handled it effortlessly. The breakfast selection caters to all dietary preferences, and

O-M-G! This place is BEYOND FABULOUS! I felt like a TOTAL ROCKSTAR from the moment I stepped in. The lobby? GORGEOUS! The room? To DIE for! And don't even get me started on the SPA - pure BLISS! Every single staff member treated me like ROYALTY. I'm still dreaming about that INCREDIBLE rooftop pool with its INSANE views. If you want to feel like a
