“Perfection!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2011

We arrived at 2inn1 to find a hidden oasis.
Far enough from the main town to give you the peace, quiet and solitude you want, but not too far via a cab to the city, Long St and the V & A.
With table mountain as your backdrop Klaus, Claire and the team could not do enough to create the best service I have ever experienced in South Africa; always on hand when you need them and yet manage to disappear to give you the intimacy and non intrusive service you'd want.
The team that work there are engaging but respect your privacy, the rooms are immaculate and modern, yet comfortable and this isn't just your room but each room in the house.
I want to praise this hotel (its rare for me to write a review) but am almost reluctant as I want to be able to come back without having to give this place away and in turn overcrowd so I can't get back in!!
It's just fabulous.

“Just Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2011

This is small boutique hotel is set in a quiet garden area of Cape Town and has wonderful views of Table Mountain and the Lions Head. The hotel is perfection in every way. Every staff member was so pleasant and well trained, it made our 7 night stay perfect. Would definitely return.

“Fantasic Service, Fantastic Accomodation, Fantastic Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2011

Location was great, in a cute, quaint, and neighborhood. The neighborhood is characterized by elegant colonial homes, and 2inn1 is located next to the home of the Western Cape's Prime Minister - you can't get much safer than that.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by an amazing staff that take care of you until the moment that they wave farewell from the curb.

Breakfast was phenomenal, with a fantastic spread, as well as made to order breakfast. Rooms were clean and as other reviewers mentioned, you felt as if you were staying in a friend's well appointed home.

However it wasn't the great location and great accommodations that made 2inn1 memorable. The incredibly warm, gregarious, and amazingly helpful staff make this Trip Advisor's #1 B&B. They help you figure out where to go, how to get there, and provide great recommendations for food and entertainment. And when they aren't helping you figure out what it is you're doing, they're feeding and watering you with cappuccinos. We will definitely go back, even if only to have the opportunity to stay there again!

“a tonic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2011

totally lovely hotel, great service and really dont want to repeat what has already been said so well but i will!!! the complimentary phone, genuis idea, lovely breakfast, sundowners between 5 and 7 with nibbles included, spotless rooms, lovely staff just all amazing.
we didnt hire a car so for us we used the local taxi service and that worked out fairly cheap to do. We were in sight of table mountain and nothing is too far away. The hotel recommends restaurants and will book them and give you a printout of where they are etc.
Steffi was AMAZING. We totally loved her and one night she recommended a restaurant on the beach but sadly it was booked up. She waved her magic wand, and produced us a booking - one of the other guests didnt want to go so we went in their place. On our return home to UK we had a thank you email from them, thanking us for our stay. It was just so lovely and personal. I've already looked up flights so I can go back. I arrived in tears, worn out from work, and needing a total break and I came away after a week feeling in great shape and well looked after. The next part of this review has the "would you reccomend this to a friend" hmmmm......... I have recommended it to EVERYONE :-)
