Hotels near University of Cape Town

"This is my overall pick for Cape Town, South Africa. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and just spoiled rotten. The hotel was very clean from the dining areas and rooms to the gym facility. I can't rave enough about this place! The food was incredible! Definitely 5 star quailty on everything. "

"Beautiful hotel! The pools are absolutely amazing and make the stay feel special. One of the highlights was the local tortoises on the property—it’s such a unique and memorable connection to nature. A truly enjoyable experience overall."

"Do NOT stay here. The “hut” was ridiculously tiny and claustrophobic barely enough space to stand, let alone move around comfortably as two adults. There was zero storage, so we were forced to live out of our suitcases for the entire stay. It was miserable and exhausting. While the property looked somewhat maintained, it was overrun with cats everywhere you turned. The pool was completely inaccessible the whole time. The bar area, which should have been a relaxing spot, was disgusting because a cat was parked on the counter every single day like it owned the place. The mini-bar setup was shady and completely unprofessional. No prices listed anywhere they just charged whatever they wanted for whatever you drank. It felt sketchy and unregulated. They advertise breakfast, but not a single meal was ever served. We had to leave the property and pay for food every single day, which added even more expense to this already terrible stay. On our very last day they suddenly cut the water off to our hut with zero warning. We couldn’t even use the bathroom. When we complained, they casually said they needed to “get a plumber.” Of course, the water had been working perfectly fine until that morning, and it was running everywhere else on the property except our room. It was incredibly inconvenient and felt intentional. For international travelers especially do your research! The ridiculous nightly rate we paid could have easily gotten us a proper apartment with a full kitchen for much less"

"Great stay! Check-in was efficient, staff were friendly. The room was comfortable and clean."

"I cannot begin to express the level of hospitality the staff has spills upon me. They were thorough, kind, informative and I’ve already recommended them to friends and relatives who will be making their way to Cape Town within the next month or so. "

"Whilst these rooms are effectively student accommodation and (in my case at least) the bathroom is shared by two rooms, they are excellently appointed and comfortable. They have good internet, parking, a great buffet breakfast, charming grounds, perfect for a day or two. Really helpful staff and all very clean and modern - they even have kitchen facilities. "

"The building is beautiful and peaceful with gorgeous natural light. The staff is extremely helpful. "

"The Newlands Guest House, a charming place built in 1836, has all necessary modern amenities including a swimming pool. Sarah and John, the proprietors, were the perfect hosts. They were very friendly & helpful with info about local places to see & dine at. We began each morning with a hearty meal, with hot & cold selections. Our room was very spacious and clean. Their cats & dog were a bonus. Our room opened onto a delightful garden. We had a wonderful three night stay at NGH, & would gladly return."

"I was never able to enter. The phone number they gave me never answered so was left at night trying to find another place to stay the night. It’s unacceptable that they won’t answer the phone they required you to call. "
