Residence is a standout
Pros:

The Residence was a perfect home for our multi-generational trip to Cape Town. The residence is simply stunning and the three ensuite rooms were spacious and very well-appointed. The beds are so comfortable and were the best nights of sleep we had on the trip. The Residence comes with its own team and you'll be spoiled with chef-cooked breakfasts, daily laundry and both daytime and turndown housekeeping. There's even a private heated pool which our kids used (even in the middle of winter). Highly recommend - a private and spacious home with all the benefits of a boutique, 5-star hotel.

Boutique hotel with luxurious rooms- choose room away from street noise.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in Central Cape Town. The main areas are beautifully decorated, with a lounge, and bar. They include a sumptuous breakfast; afternoon tea; and canapés before dinner. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. There is a Gym, and nice courtyard. The rooms are beautiful, with luxurious decor and a large bathroom and Tub. I would recommend a room on the top floor and further from the street as you can hear noise. They have a high end restaurant next door connected to the hotel, however limited in other nearby options that it is safe to walk to.

Poor communication left us with bad feelings about this hotel
Pros:

This a lovely hotel. However the management is not up to the caliber of this property.
We were given advice that was inappropriate as far as where to go to shop in town.
Also we were told a car was available to take us to the waterfront but then were charged for the use of the car when we checked out. Even though we were charged for the use of the car we had to go out of our way to pick up other guests which doubled the time it took to get there. I wonder if they paid for the use of the car as well? Poor management left us feeling like we would not return to this hotel.

Lovely property!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Cape Cadagon Boutique Hotel! The entire staff was A+++. The spa was lovely and the restaurant was magnificent! Breakfast was incredible and dinner was phenomenal! The staff at the restaurant were welcoming, knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. The decor of the hotel is tranquil and sophisticated. Our room was comfortable and roomy. The property is one block to Kloof St. and in a great location to go to/from all the tourist destinations you may visit.

An incredible place to stay
Pros:

Our experience at Cape Cadogan Boutique was exceptional. It is ideally situated to access the waterfront as well as Table Mountain and good restaurants/bars nearby. From the moment we arrived until our early departure, the staff were attentive and very helpful. The hotel was tastefully decorated, full of character, warmth and charm. It has a quiet and unhurried atmosphere. Our rooms were very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The hotel complex was kept very clean.
It suited our needs and more than satisfied our expectations. The only drawback could be for people who cannot climb a set of stairs or find different floor levels challenging.

Well situated hotel for city focused activities. Great security and spacious bedroom. Space is very decorated. They provided games and lovely public sitting areas. Some design hiccups such as bathroom door was flimsy and breakfast food was adequate.

Charming with a fantastic location!
Pros:

This was our family of four’s first trip to Cape Town, and we were looking for a safe hotel in close proximity to shopping and restaurants. Cape Cadogan turned out to be a great choice overall.

The location is excellent—just steps away from Kloof Street, where many of Cape Town’s best restaurants and cafés are located. The hotel itself has wonderful character and history; it’s impressive how they’ve preserved the architecture of a building dating back to the 1800s while still offering modern comfort.

The rooms were very well appointed, with high-quality bedspreads and toiletries, and nothing to complain about in terms of comfort. Breakfast was very good, and overall the ambience of the hotel was warm, stylish, and relaxing. Between the location, the rooms, the food, and the atmosphere, the core experience was very strong.

The only areas for improvement were around organization and attention to detail. The staff sometimes seemed a bit flustered, and prior to arrival we had tried calling several times to

adjust tour timings without success. Once we arrived, it became clearer why—things felt slightly disorganized at times. A minor nit for a hotel of this caliber was that missing bathroom items were not proactively replaced, something typically expected at a high-end boutique property.

Overall, Cape Cadogan is a charming, well-located boutique hotel with great history, comfort, and ambience. With a bit more polish in operations and attention to small details, it could be exceptional.

Surprise stay at Cape Cadogan Hotel.
Pros:

Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel, Gawie (GM) and staff, thank you for a very pleasant stay and treats at your establishment. Wow, what an honour. Your staff has been exceptionally competent and friendly. Thank you for honouring and appreciating our son Carlo Krüger, for the work he has done and will do in the future for this beautiful hotel.
Carlo, thank you for sharing your award with us, your family. It's been a weekend to remember. Lots of walking, making new friends, laughing and just being part of this beautiful place. 10/10. 🩵

Friendly, charming hotel.
Pros:

This is an excellent boutique hotel. What makes this place special is not the spaciousness and cleanliness of the rooms, the amenities, the food, the location (which are all top notch), it’s the people. The staff is exceptional. They are all friendly, welcoming and truly focused on making your stay something special. Don’t hesitate to book, you will love it.

You will fall in love with this hotel!
Pros:

When we arrived in Cape Town for our first visit to the city, the hotel we had reserved was underwhelming. With the help of our travel agents, we quickly relocated to Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel - and it elevated our entire experience in the city. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable, the entire staff (housekeeping, hotel, restaurant, bar, concierge) were over the top wonderful, the location is great for getting around the city and the waterfront and the food and hospitality were absolutely top shelf! If we return to Cape Town this is the only place we will consider staying.

Pros:

My husband and I stayed at the truly delightful Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel for 4 nights during our trip to South Africa. We were meet at the airport by Charlton (who gave as a wonderful commentary as he drove us to the hotel, a beautiful historical building set in lovely gardens. We were greeted with a warm smile and welcoming drink by the concierge team before being shown to our beautiful, large, clean room with a lovely balcony overlooking a pool area. The complementary evening canapes were fabulous and a great opportunity to meet other guests. We also found the availability of the shuttle a convenient and safe way to travel to points of interest, and all the drivers were very friendly and courteous. Breakfasts at the adjoining Upper Union restaurant was a lovely way to start the day and we also enjoyed a superb dinner there. We would highly recommend this beautiful hotel for your stay in Cape Town.
