We stayed at Hollow on the suare as part of our trip to cape town and the surrounding area. The square itself is not that nice but the hotel was of a good standard for a 3 star hotel but don't expect 4 star. We stayed at both sides of the hotel firstly in the suites side and we were... more

Just came back from an 8 night stay at this hotel, very comfortable the staff were extremely friendly and helpful did not experience any problems. The restaurant was very nice buffet style. The restaurant manager Cecilia lovely person and very obliging as I was coeliac. A trip to Pigalle's Restaurant in Somerset square well worth checking out also - 5... more

Stayed here as a result of a last minute booking which meant that several of the hotels we wanted to stay in were already full. While I can't really say that there was anything WRONG with the hotel, there was nothing particularly nice eiher. It is a bit drab and miserable, with manky carpets, tempramental air-con, sad-looking bathroom......you get the... more

My daughter booked this hotel through Octopus Travel in the UK for her mom (me) and dad and herself as she was visiting us in Johannesburg over the festive season and we went to Cape Town for a short break.

We stayed at this hotel for a week over Christmas with a package tour and could not really fault it. The staff were always pleasant and helpful and our room was superb. We had a large room on the 3rd floor with a double bed and two singles pushed together. The bathroom was huge with a large walk in shower.... more

Just returned from a 10 night stay at the Hollow On The Square. When we checked-in we were allocated a room on the 1st floor, this room was tired and we asked to change rooms. We were then given a suite in the hotel next door, this room was very tired looking and in need of a re-ferb. Once again... more

i visited end of April to the beginning of May 2007, very welcome staff and friendly too. The conceirge-can be a bit short staffed when busy but was very helpful esp having visited for the first time during the wet season. The room offered was bigger than the one booked with no added cost, i guess the hotel was in... more

Great central location for visitors. 15 mins walk to Waterfront and the same to go uptown to Long Street and the museums. Well maintained but the small lift is not ideal for claustrophobics ! Italian restaurant served good quality food but lacked atmosphere when quiet. more

A smallish, inexpensive hotel, but ideally situated within 15-20 minutes walk of the Waterfront (although for security reasons, best to take a taxi at night - as is true of all Cape Town) Italian style attached restaurant offers very good (and large) meals at very reasonable prices. Buffet breakfast also good - rather crowded one morning when everyone seemed to... more
