The hotel is in a good location and you can walk to the V&A or catch the city bus tour from near the hotel. The hotel was clean and basic and the breakfast was good. As we didn't stay much in the hotel as we spent much of the day out and about in cape town this hotel was great.... more

Stayed at the fountains for 4 nights on a holiday to South Africa. The holiday and cape town was wonderful, except for the Fountains Hotel and and few of its staff which were very unfriendly and rude, especially the Front Office male staff . We were given a horrible small room, with the unpleasant view of a building just in... more

This hotel is in within walking distance of the centre of Cape Town. the V & A waterfront and the conference centre. We stayed in a one bedroom "fully self contained" suite. The room was clean and equipped with kitchen essentials however there was no washing machine either in the room or on the premises. The only iron guests had... more

Many months have passed since my last visit to the Fountains yet the memories are still as good as ever. I've stayed at the hotel a handful of times and usually use it as my starting point for travel around the Country. The hotel is situated in a great location within the City Centre, sitting right at the end of... more

Stayed here for 4 nights at the start of a coach tour of South Africa. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were very good. We didn't eat at the restaurant in the evening but other tour members did and said the food was very good and reasonably priced. The hotel is well placed for St Georges Mall out of... more

My brother and I stayed here following our trip to Durban and it was ok only. The room was very dated with doors in need of replacement, especially in the bathroom area. The twin beds could have been further apart although this was probably due to the size of the room which was small in comparison to the room we... more

The hotel could do with some upgrading in places but the location was excellent for sightseeing and the dinners more than we could eat. Amazing value for money but we were disappointed that the so called swimming pool was just a metre wide channel along the front of the hotel and very near the traffic so having a cooling swim... more

We stayed at the Fountain Hotel from the 26th Dec for 3 nights. It was in a perfect location. 30mins from the airport. We arranged transfer from airport direct which cost 300RAND. We were 15minutes walk to the V&A Waterfront. We had 2 rooms, one standard and one suite. The one bedroom suite was very spacious with a kitchen area,... more
