    Good for students to crash after a party. Not ideal for older people going to bed at 22:00.

    The hotel is well situated in central Kloof street, but unfortunately my room was above two very loud bars or restaurants that played very loud music until at least midnight. I had to use ear plugs to block out the noise. I tried to phone reception jy st before midnight to move rooms, but there was no answer. The basement parking garage is very untidy. No security booms at the entrance.

    Central location. Good to walk around the city. Good fresh breakfast with a good view of Table Mountain.

    Absolutely nothing

    The variety on breakfast, the freshly baked crossaints. The staff made me feel comfortable. The connection on netwok on all floors of the hotel. The potter helped me carry my luggage in and out of the hotel. I got a breakfast pack on the morning of my Two Oceans Marathon. I would definately recommend it to anyone that needs a home away from home. I am sure coming back for the Sanlam Marathon will be staying at Kloof Hotel.

    I booked through Bookings Dotcom I was directed to your head office and then directed to the hotel. Check-in was fine. Had to carry my luggage to my room. No problem considering the high price I was charged for. Then got to my room I paid over R2k per night to find a room smaller than my walk-in cupboard at home. Went downstairs and was told that's what they call a pod. I said that's not what bookings Dot Com showed me I was booking. No pod. And Shame on you to charge that for a room so small. Anyway Paid an increase fair to have my room upgraded to a more suitable room that I was originally shown and paid for. Now I'm paying over R3k for one night. And No breakfast included. I stay at a lot of hotels. Never have I experienced this. For the money you charging. Then asked for a lift 2 and from my venue at my function at Crosley and Web. Literally 1.3 km there and 1.3 km back. As it was a gala event and my wife walking in high heels and drinking I didn't want to drive and risk their and back. I was charged by the driver R750 for 3km trip. This is extortion. Because now it's been seen where I was and who I was now I'm overcharged. Absolutely disgraceful. O yes your bar staff are . Wow. Ok... Damn. Need to attend to them or get more training. Also. Seriously. Stock the bar. No coke 0. I'm diabetic. The the prices you charge . This is not a valve for money establishment. I refused to pay your breakfast per head costing . I Left and went over the road and ate there.

    My room was not cleaned on my second day. This saddened me. Parking bay's small. I really struggled to park, however, parking area safe access controlled since I was using a hired car.

    Despite it being modern and clean, our overall thoughts were it was to corporate with it being used by business people. The room we booked was a suite with city view but what we got was a back street view and builders yard

    Very polite and attentive staff. Modern and clean, nice bathrooms

    Our room was next to the street, and unfortunately it was a bit loud sometimes but it didn’t bother us much at all.

    Very nice and helpful staff! They did everything to make us feel welcome, and they succeeded! Good location and lovely pool and restaurant area. Nice food and the breakfast was great.

    I was not informed that my stay DID NOT include breakfast.

    I thought breakfast was inclusive of the amount I had to pay and found myself having to pay an additional R190.

    The pool is not heated. I went over Chrstmas and it was too cold to swim. The room size is a little small but not uncomfortable, it's fine for a solo traveller.

    Great location, on Kloof Street - lots of shops, restaurants and cafes and is easy to walk around. Fantastic breakfast and beautiful view of the mountain from the room. Staff were friendly and helpful.
