    We stopped at this venue on our arrival in Cape Town and what a first class choice we made, the hotel has some history as one of the older building in Cape Town, but because it is in the city it provided us with the perfect access we wanted. We could wander around the streets or quickly access the big red tourist buses that provide a hop on hop off service to the key points of interest on the tourist trail... Our room was of a fair size with separate bathroom, and we could not fault the facilities... What made this hotel so special though was the staff, who simply could not do enough for you, always polite, and would cater to your every need... The breakfasts served here set the bar for our remaining stops on our tour, and we just found them hard to beat, so fresh and hot, with a full range of breakfast items, hot and cold..we would certainly recommend the hotel and stay there again if we were in the city...

    We stopped at this venue on our arrival in Cape Town and what a first class choice we made, the hotel has some history as one of the older building in Cape Town, but because it is in the city it provided us with the perfect access we wanted. We could wander around the streets or quickly access the big red tourist buses that provide a hop on hop off service to the key points of interest on the tourist trail... Our room was of a fair size with separate bathroom, and we could not fault the facilities... The breakfasts served here set the bar for our remaining stops on our tour, and we just found them hard to beat, so fresh and hot, with a full range of breakfast items, hot and cold..we would certainly recommend the hotel and stay there again if we were in the city...

    ...Why did we return you might say, well the hotel is individual, rooms are all different, more eclectic, but are very comfortable, the staff are fantastic, always happy to help and breakfast tasty being cooked to order. More to the point the hotel is fantastically positioned on Bree Street, with numerous bars and restaurants on the doorstep... It is a 20 minute walk to the V&A... We had room 112 overlooking Shortmarket Street which was large with a great bathroom, loved the shower.. Would we recommend, definitely and hopefully we will return in the not too distant future...

    ...Then you will have a spacious place of two bed rooms (each has it's own bathroom) and a living room/kitchen space with a guest toilet and a balcony... The hotel itself is located in a very nice area, very safe... The building structure is that you have a precious inner courtyard with restaurants, where you can quietly sit in the evening and drink your beer, before heading to bed... The bathroom facilities are very modern and just cool, the beds very comfortable... The stuff is extremely nice and the breakfast is continental buffet and very tasty... So overall I will always book this hotel when going back... It is just a no go for a hotel with such a good reputation and overall a good service...

    This boutique hotel is without doubt one of the best we have ever stayed in... Breakfast is perfect and the large beds are to die for... If we return to Cape Town we will most definitely stay again and would highly recommend this hotel to everyone...

    ...It looked fairly central and reasonably priced... Staff were so friendly and the hotel had so much character... It has the oldest fruit bearing grape vine in the Southern Hemisphere too!... Our room had views of table mountain and was large and airy with very comfortable beds... The bathroom had a big bath with a shower and twin sinks... Breakfast was included for us and had tasty fruit, muffins, pastries, toast, cereal, seeds, juice as well as a cooked breakfast menu... The hotel had a walkway into a courtyard where there was several restaurants with plenty of choice to eat... It felt very safe and really nice to know we could just walk back upstairs after.By chance we had booked the city sightseeing bus pass and tours and were very happy to learn it was just a few minutes walk away to their Long street office and bus stop... A lovely hotel, lovely staff and lovely location...

    ...Ours was well renovated without losing its origins: wooden floor, big windows overlooking Bree Street. Very comfortable place to discover Cape Town... Parking is available at reduced rates for hotel guests at a parking lot in a side street...

    ...I enjoyed my three nights at the Cape Heritage Hotel. The location is great for walking tours and visiting sites... The hotel arranged my airport transfers which went perfectly... Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient... The breakfast was lovely i had sometimes the maple syrup oatmeal and once indulged in the French toast which was great... Ended up chatting with other guests at breakfast - people were friendly and that was nice... Easy to get to a whole assortment of restaurants and plenty of ubers...

    ...The Cape Heritage Hotel was a real find! The hotel was in the perfect location in the CBD section of Cape Town... Our room (and bathroom) was large and beautifully decorated... The breakfasts were delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating... The hotel features art from local artists and is attractively decorated...

My family of five, including two teenagers & a six year throughly enjoyed our stay at this friendly & comfortable boutique hotel. The staff were friendly & helpful. The hotel is in a great location in central Cape Town. Over our three week holiday we stayed here a total of six nights. We wouldn’t hesitate staying here again.

We had the most memorable 4 night stay in Cape Town and so thankful to the warm hospitality of the staff making this so special 4 nights in a luxury room with every attention to detail to make our stay comfortable. Highlights; - warm personable greeting and sit down check in despite our late at night arrival at 10pm - great location in Heritage square with their own attractions but also easy walking distance to restaurants, museums and some of the top site seeing Cape Town had to offer - Super spacious room, with historic charm and we were lucky to have view of Table Mountain - filtered water every day and we loved the added touch of the weather report in our rooms the night before - beautiful warm staff always taking genuine care for their guests, we didn’t have Uber app so really appreciated them helping order Uber for us to get to restaurants (not recommended to walk too far after 5pm) - the hotel is steeped in history with wonderful artefacts and stories to take in and had a wonderful art gallery definitely worth a visit - great breakfast - last but no means least, the care and support for the local community Thank you to every member of the Beautiful Cape Heritage team for your warm smiles, chats, stories and our stay, we are very grateful and will be back!

Terrible rooms, awful apartment, unsafe, u kept, would Never recommend this place to anyone! The corridors have a stale damp smell and the over all attitude of the manager is just extremely arrogant towards everything - not meant for hospitality!

False marketing, terrible apartments, DO NOT STAY with them. It’s nothing like it’s in the picture. Arrogant GM Anja thinks no end of her self. The apartments stink and it’s a dungeon. One of the rooms doesn’t have a window. The approach is terrible and not part of the hotel.

We travelled to Cape Heritage Hotel from the UK as part of our honeymoon and everything was perfect. The staff are very helpful. friendly and knowledgable of the city. The room was immaculate and offered all the necessary amenities. The breakfast was incredible and the location of the hotel was great. Their Heritage Square to the rear of the hotel was bustling with life and offered a great selection of restaurants and bars.

The staff are an amazing team, nothing is to much trouble. We had a couple of issues with the fridge, safe and TV and they came within minutes after calling down to reception. Not sure we would return as we found it pretty noisy. Not just street/restaurant noise but our windows rattled loudly when windy. It is central, and a great place if you have some ear plugs!

Great hotel! Hotel team was very hospitable and nice, loved the location and options for food nearby. The room was exceptional, simply beautiful and huge. The classic visual of the whole hotel is very beautiful. We couldn’t have hoped for a better stay in such a lovely city.

We could not have been happier with the total experience at the CH! The staff became like family in just the first day of our 7 in Cape Town. We hope to some day return to Cape Town and if the Cape Heritage will have us, we'll definitely want to stay there! Disliked · We wish the weather had been perfect. But, hey, it's Cape Town!

Cape Heritage is a charming and beautifully decorated colonial hotel. Our room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts are outstanding, there is a delicious buffet as well as freshly made choices from the breakfast menu. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is very close to Bo Kaap and many good restaurants and bars. There is good security at the hotel and you can walk through the hotel to a pleasant Mexican restaurant.
