The One 8 Hotel

The location is ok, at least a 2 km walk from anywhere you'd want to go as a tourist/visitor...nothing really in the immediate vicinity. On the positive side, it did feel relatively safe, and I did like the off-street parking option for the one night that I kept a rental car there.
However, the room itself and service were lacking in many ways; among them:
The room has a lot of cabinetry, which I suppose is great if you're staying long enough to fully unpack, but I don't do that for fewer than 5 nights.
2. There was very little place to put things aside from in cabinets. Not a lot of surface space; no hooks to hang things, etc.
3. The room smelled musty and always felt damp.
4. There was a heat/AC unit, but the batteries in the controller were dead, so that was useless.
5. There was a hair dryer, but the plug on it wasn't compatible with any outlet in the room/bathroom
6. The bathroom had almost NO flat surface to put toiletries, etc. The shower had none at all, so you had to keep any soap/shampoo on the floor and bend down to get them.
7. The room was dirty and there was quite a bit of hair in the bathroom when we arrived.
8. There is a safe but the operating instructions didn't match it, so I locked myself out on first attempt, leaving me to keep any valuables locked in my suitcase.
9. They don't provide drinking water or ice. There is a drinking water dispenser in the breakfast area, but they don't allow guests to fill water bottles; it has to be bought.

Had a great stay at The One 8. The staff was very welcoming, helpful, and made me feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

No elevators

Very convenient hotel with off-street parking

Small property and perfect

The hotel was very small nothing like the pictures, we were on the third floor had to take cases up no lift. No hot water, tap loose towel rail falling of the wall, light on bedside cabinet not working, no hairdryer as described on site . Very poor breakfast.
How it got four stars I shall never know.

Very nice stay. Clean, friendly welcome and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Basic clean rooms, nothing special but nice and simple !!
All people working there were helpful and wonderful !!
Breakfast was OK. Think I might have been the only one staying at the hotel so the breakfast was quite simple. Continental including eggs / sausage / bacon.

It was kinda OK...on the bright side - bathroom is very spacious, convenient and bright and parking is on sight (room for 4 cars).
Room is OK.
We booked a room + bfast and showed the hotel it is included in our reservation but the hotel showed me the reservation they received and it didn't have breakfast...

Pool is almost forced into the back yard, was dirty and not inviting but anyways was too cold to use it.
The electricity outlets in the room didn't work so no coffee and charging phones...not sure what was wrong.
Anyways - we spent less than 12 hours and continued. Wasn't a disaster and price was fair.

The quietness and privacy afforded during my 3 day stay was appreciated. The easy access to restaurants and the promenade made for very pleasant walks beside the ocean. The staff were friendly and caring and assisted with my requests courteously.

superb hospitality....nice staff....clean rooms.
flexible check out times.

The One 8 Hotel is such a lovely little find. Friendly and professional service from every single member of staff right from the moment we arrived.
We booked the small ground floor room and contrary to other reviews on here, we found the room perfectly adequate for our needs. The only down side to this room in my opinion is the proximity to the reception area; on occasion you could hear other guest talking and socialising but it was nothing that would stop me booking again. The pool and hot tub were nice additions and a great way to unwind after a long day.
I just want to finish by saying thank you once again for a lovely holiday and I very much hope to return to your hotel again in the near future.

Fabulous small and friendly hotel in Grren Point. Lovely helpful and friendly staff lovely rooms 25 mins walk to the Waterfront. Would stay again

Lovely hotel, great staff . Mosquitoes in room which despite reporting were an on going issue. Quite a long walk into centre necessitating use of cabs at night.

Our stay was great! Donald from Reception was helpful and the lady who serves us breakfast and also cleans our room was fantastic!

The hotel is very nice. We stayed only one night, but check-in and out was smooth, they held our luggage before check-in and after check-out and everything went well. The room if neat, comfortable, clean.

The fact that you did not have an elevator took a great deal of pleasure out of our stay and I would have to say l would not be back unless you put an elevator in.

It was excellent!

I enjoyed the hotel. A boutique hotel that is very clean and managed. It also is central to most places in capetown like the Waterfront or campsbay

A small comfortable hotel with very helpful staff. Good breakfast. Good location.
