This is a very nice and small guest house owned and run with German sense of responsibility and quality by Katrin. This means that the place is spotless and the service is at its best!
Katrin, the owner, and her family live downstair and are always ready to help. I was picked up at the airport by the cab that Katrin has arranged for me and greeted with a glass of chilled white wine by her upon my arrival.
The view from the deck is just spectacular! I spent quite some time on that deck enjoying the breath taking views of the Table Mountain, the Devils Peak, the city bowl and the Bo Caap itself. Bo Caap is a very colorful and vibrant area with small houses painted in different vibrant colors making your every picture - well, picture perfect! ;) The guest house is located approximately 10 min walk (longer on your way up!) from the Long Street (a place to be/see for the tourists) and bus stops and approximately 45 min stroll down to the Victoria and Alberts Waterfront.
There is a small swimming pool at the guest house, laundry service, you can ask Katrin for a wi-fi connection, and breakfast is self catering and consisted of fresh fruits, muesli, cornflakes, yoghurt, milk, muffins, bread rolls, coffee, tea and juice. If you need something - just ask, Katrin is always ready to help.
My room was very nice and clean, with a big comfortable bed, table, a couple of chairs and a closet for my things/clothes. The bathroom was also very clean and towels and soap were provided and changed every day.
Bo Caap is an area with a lot of mosques so I woke up from the minarets a couple of times during the first night, but didn't register it after that during my two weeks of stay.
And did I mention the absolutely fantastic views? :)
Will stay there again!

Poor points first...
Shower could be a bit slippery, location is up a hill! (I must stress both minor points!)
Good points.
Room very very clean, spacious and comfortable. Bathroom large with a nice walk in shower and a deep bath. Bed very comfy. Even though this is self catering there were juices, cereals and muffins left for you. Some useful information too (like nicer more local restaurants in Bree street rather than long street)!
I think if you are a wanting to spend about 5-7 days (or longer) in Capetown then this is a perfect location and accommodation for you. Comes with a pool too! Its located in the Malay district and round the corner is some beautifully decorated houses. Walk to Long street takes approx 10mins (Advise a taxi on way back especially if dark - costs R30 / £1.80).
Katrin as others have stated is very friendly and helpful. I think if you asked her to provide anything then i doubt this would be a problem.
Wifi is excellent .Location as already stated is in Malay district on the way up to
Signal Hill
Prior to staying i asked if i could leave my bag somewhere as wasn't due to leave for the airport till 3pm. This wasn't a problem but the day before i was due to leave i had an email stating that don't worry about rushing out, no-one was booked in so feel free to use the room which was greatly appreciated! A very nice touch. I wish i had longer to spend here and had got to hear far more from Katrin.
I would highly recommend this accommodation.
Thankyou.

We enjoyed the very hospital arrival. The hostess gave us practical advice for our stay. The room had a nice view over the city center. The breakfast was good as well as the wifi access. Upon arrival at the airport a taxi was waiting for us to bring us to the guesthouse.

We've been at this hotel 2 times now and we still love it ...We like the rooms nicely decorated and very cozy . All the staff are very helpful and nice to deal with . The breakfast in the morning is very good ,enough food for sure. The location is perfect for us ,we like to walk and we were pretty close to a lot of things and restaurants . If you plan to use this hotel ,and you are a light sleeper make sure your room is away from the courtyard ,sometimes the restaurant there like to play loud music ,other wise it is just perfect . Thanks

A very pleasant stay indeed. I would happily recommend Upperbloem. The host was very welcoming and the communication was great. They organised an airport pickup which went smoothly and was also enjoyable. The room was very comfortable and super clean, with everything I needed and many thoughtful touches. Get the rooms with the amazing city views if you can - what a vista!
