we booked the hotel greame after reading this site, and were not disappointed, it does not look to grand from the street, but once inside, it had every thing we needed. the rooms were clean and the a/c was very handy, there is a small pool and a gym, but we never used them as we were out all day and only came back to change before going out in the evening. a R20 taxi ride to the waterfront or a 10 minute walk, R30 into town.
they have private parking and internet service. the breakfast that is included in the room rate is not the best we have had, but all the basics were there, including a hot option.

I think if you are going to spend most of the day in and around your hotel, and want big fluffy bath robes, then you have to pay for these in the bigger hotels, but value for money, and location the graeme suited us .R650 per night for a double room, booked direct.

next door is a ATM machine, a great coffee shop, thai restaurant and a steak house, if you stay there over a weekend, there is a big open air market on sunday morning just over the road, great for all things african.

the hotel staff were evey so helpful, they always booked out taxi for us when we needed one, and made all our reservations for us various restaurants, no charge.
it was full when we were there, and we booked a further 3 nights when we got back to CPT,as it was so convenient.

in life you only get what you pay for, but this wasa bit above the norm for the money

My fiance and I actually flew in to Cape Town with no reservation, and found Hotel Graeme through a review in a tour book. The hotel was honestly one of the best values of our entire trip. Clean, decent sized rooms with coffee maker, cable TV (limited channels though), free hot breakfast, good internet connection at reasonable prices and good beds - much more than we expected for the $45-50/night we paid. Great location - short cab ride or 10 minute walk from the water front, and 30 minute walk from downtown. We saw prices for places closer to the waterfront and could not believe that it was 2-3x our rate just to be 5 minutes closer.

The staff was also incredibly friendly and accomodating to us the entire visit, whether we wanted to store bags or use the hotel safe.

Very highly recommended for the price.

I would like to endorse the comments of the previous review. We came to stay at the Hotel Graeme through the recommendation of a booked out B&B. The Hotel was spotless, the staff friendly and the management exceptional (thanks Mary!). - Cathy & Don

I've just returned after a 2 week trip to South Africa, during my visit i spent 4 nights in Cape Town, the hotel Graeme doesn't look that nice from the outside but i have to say it's worth checking out, the staff are very friendly and helpful, breakfast is included and has a very good selection to offer, the room although a little on the small side was very well furnished and exceptionally clean, it had a colour TV, Tea & Coffee Making facilities, dressing table, and a modern bathroom which consisted of toilet, sink and walk in shower with toiletries included, the hotel also has secure park at the back and a small pool, whirl pool and sun terrace. it's located in the Green Point area of capetown, about a 10 minute walk to the waterfront area.
I felt this was a great little hotel in a great location and was reasonably priced.
