Cape Heritage Hotel

Quite simply a GEM of a hotel located in an excellent part of Cape Town that has history just ooooozing out of it !! All staff are outstanding, genuinely friendly, warm and welcoming. Always smartly turned out, positive and eager to help, everyone employed here has an obvious pride in what they do. Room was perfect, bed super comfortable, shower strong and plenty of pressure that ensured an invigorating start to the day plus air con worked perfectly. A beach bag with towels, plates and suncream is supplied should you be visiting one of the numerous beaches - a nice touch as is the "thought for the day", weather and info board located in the indoor breakfast room. Breakfast was awesome - great choice plus could sit outside under the vine canopy provided by the oldest documented vine in the southern hemisphere. This hotel forms part of a historic enclosed square, is a stones throw from Bo-Kaap, outstanding restaurants plus a pleasant saunter down Bree Street to the V&A Waterfront. My better half and I were really delighted to have chosen this hotel as our base whilst visiting Cape Town and cannot praise it highly enough.

Absolutely superb 6 days at the Cape Heritage Hotel. The room was just divine, and steeped in history. Loved the authentic shutters! Breakfast was also delicious. What makes the hotel truly special is the staff. Such lovely genuine people. A bit shout out goes to Bamford and Sam! Cape Town itself is really interesting. Make sure you take advantage of the free walking tours recommended by the hotel. The hotel is in a great location, which comes with some noise. Especially First Thursday! Nothing a pair of earplugs didn’t sort out! A 5* stay overall. We will be back!!

1) Super friendly and helpful staff 2) Artsy, funky decoration and interior 3) Location is quite central with a fair amount of cafe's and restaurants around and the two tourist bus lines just two blocks away. It's not a particularly pretty part of town, but it is a useful homebase for exploring it. Perfect for those who are a bit tired of hotel chains. This one has plenty of charm and character. We'll remember it fondly.

We ALWAYS stay at Cape Heritage when we go to Cape Town (we are from the USA). This visit was our 5th. It is a very centrally located heritage hotel near top-rated restaurants (several literally right across the street), shopping and many sights (the colorful Bo Kaap neighborhood is just around the corner). The staff are phenomenally friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are very tasty. The rooms are beautifully decorated. There is a courtyard with several restaurants including a place called Jerry's Burger Bar which serves a selection of amazing burgers at very reasonable prices. For those who self drive, there is a guarded parking lot just around the corner). We find it WAY nicer than staying in the ultra touristy Waterfront area.

The hotel is a very pretty old building, living up to its name. All the staff members are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is served in three unique rooms that are like a pantry, a library and an art exhibition (we did not have breakfast though). The bathroom was huge and amazing. The location is great, probably one of the busiest and safest areas in Cape Town.
