My recent stay at the Cape Colonial Guest House was absolutely delightful. The lovely old Victorian house exuded charm and character. The host, Sabine, was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The budget room I booked had everything I needed and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was fantastic, allowing me to easily explore the beautiful suburb of Gardens and walk to some of the best restaurants on Kloof Street. The homemade banana bread served at breakfast was a delicious treat. I had a wonderful experience at the Cape Colonial Guest House and would highly recommend it.

The guest house was conveniently located in the Gardens area, close to attractions I wanted to see. I enjoyed exploring the nearby Kloof street, which had a variety of great restaurants. The rooms were beautifully decorated and had plenty of character. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable.

The noise from other guests moving around in the rooms above was a bit disruptive at times.

Great Location, Easy to Find

During our Christmas stay, we loved the superb location of the hotel, making it very easy to get around. The hotel offered excellent linen, and we could find it with ease just off the main road. we enjoyed the fact that it was close to many shops and restaurants, making it the perfect spot for our holiday.

We also hoped to find some green spaces around the hotel, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any.

The hotel offers great value for money with reasonable prices and attention to detail. The location is superb, close to the center and within walking distance of excellent restaurants in Kloof street. The rooms with balconies are very spacious and have a lovely old-fashioned charm. The breakfast, with fresh muffins, is included and served in a cozy setting.

No major issues, everything was satisfactory.
