Stayed at the cape milner for 3 nights in July. Loved the table mountain view and the restaurant was a highlight of our trip. Very trendy décor and helpful staff.

I stayed at the Cape Milner on business in May 2007. It is a lovely boutique hotel - the public areas are very stylish, the rooms quite simple and not total luxury - but comfortable and clean.

The staff at the hotel are really attentive, and knew my name when I was checking in which is really nice. They were also really good about letting me pick things of the main restaurant menu and have it served in my room - even though it wasnt on the room service menu - when you are travelling on your own, you dont always want to eat in the restaurant.

The location of this hotel, next to the bars and restaurants on kloof Street is really good - although you will have to taxi ride it to the beaches of Camps Bay and to the tourist areas of the Waterfront. But like most boutique hotels it was been put in the 'cooler' area.

The hotel had a nice pool but it didnt really seem to be the sort of sunbathing hotel, but the option is there.

All in all, a really nice hotel and great value for money.

We had five nights here. Its an excellent base for daytrips around Capetown and the west capewith secure car parking and excellent views from the pool area. The rooms are quiet despite being on the main road to Kloof Nek.

The restraunt is superb and probably the best food that we had during our tour, also good value also so could not understand why it was not busier.

Staff consistently helpful and rooms spotless, a bit minimalist in the current fashion, very stylish.

My husband and I stayed at the Cape Milner for three nights at the beginning of February. It was very disappointing for a few reasons:

We were travelling with friends and despite having booked two rooms via the hotel website they had only organised 1. I had to provide a copy of my reservation details to get it sorted.

Our friends were placed in a second floor room (avoid those numbered 210 to 215) which is on the same level as the pool and bar - and people were partying until 5.00am. To be fair they asked for, and got moved - but no apologies from hotel - even stated that in moving them to the front of the hotel they would get traffic noise so may be no quieter - luckily it was.

We were told when we arrived that they had complimentary shuttle around Cape Town., however when we tried to book on Saturday morning we were told he was on holiday. .. and did not return until monday.

My husband had to use the internet a couple of times - the second time he got asked for money (only 25 rands) when it is maketed as being "free".

We asked them to organise a taxi back to the airport after discussing with the receptionist how long it would take in the rush hour to get us there at 5.30pm. They suggested a 4.45pm pick up which we agreed to - and then proceeded to call us at 4.45am to tell us our taxi had arrived!

Finally - on checking out we asked for our incidental costs to be pulled together and split across two rooms. At this point they could not divide by two and we were overcharged - luckily my husband noticed this and we got a refund sorted.

The rooms are fine (not great)and nowhere near nice enough to have to put up with such poor service.

I'd avoid!
