No elevator to the room

The hotel is a must to all vintage lovers! Alen and Rusell the owners of the hotel are one of a kind! The breakfast was exceptional, each day a different Michelin star

What a beautifully decorated house. Each room is individually designed and full of little details to discover. I was warmly welcomed and the staff was very helpful with giving me Tipps what to see or even helping me with a dinner reservation. The breakfast is outstanding and everything is home made

Everything - the beautiful humans who run this guest house went out of their way to make me feel at home… they even invited my family in to enjoy their hospitality while I was finishing breakfast! Their cooking is amazing and they bake like pros! The guesthouse is full of cheeky and quirky little touches and is full of books and comfy books to enjoy them! I wish I’d had more time here honestly, I can’t say enough about how wonderful my stay was. Location is great, walking distance to V&A Waterfront, Bo Kaap, Bree & Long Streets, The Stadium & several good places for coffee, food, bevs & groceries nearby. One of the best, if not the best, guesthouses I’ve stayed in anywhere in the world… and I’ve travelled a lot! If you love staying somewhere with genuine character and personality, stay with Allan & Russell at Hotel Lola!

nothing not to like about this place.

A great location right by the harbour, a very tastefully decorated property with absolutely fabulous hosts who went above and beyond to cater for my requests. A fabulous breakfast with home made treats! So easy to arrange airport transfers and wineland transfers to some of the best vineyards via the hotel. Lots of taxis/ Ubers around the area to easy to get around the city from here. Would recomend ++

Nothing to complain

Amazing couple hosted us. Breakfast they made was 10/10 You can even ask for extras and they make it individual for you. We regret staying just one night but definitely be back.

I really wish I could give an 11 on this app. Visual taste can't get any finer and care can't get any better. Not to mention the breakfast.

Our room was downstairs next to the kitchen, not good if you are a light sleeper. Could hear all comings and goings

The breakfasts were amazing and imaginative. The owners, Russell and Alan, were very friendly and extremely helpful.

Hotel Lola is absolutely beautiful! Quirky and colourful interior with great detailing. The hotel has lots of natural light from big windows and balcony doors. The atmosphere is great with jazz music playing softly in the background. The owners and staff are fantastic. Super friendly with nice conversations to be had and great service. They’re exceptional cooks, their breakfast is the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. Using fresh produce daily with new surprises every day. We stayed for six nights and the whole time it felt like we’d been staying with friends. We highly recommend anyone going to Cape Town to stay at Hotel Lola whilst there, you won’t be disappointed.

Great location. Excellent hosts. It’s an 1856 converted mansion filled with antiques. The owners are hands- on.

Absolutely nothing ! We can’t wait to return to enjoy Hotel Lola again

Breakfast was outstanding. Everything freshly cooked fresh and beautifully presented . Unusual dishes that made a fabulous change from the ordinary choices . A real treat all gone grown and local ingredients .

I had a bad leg and there was a double staircase from street level to the entrance. Russell and his team helped with bags but personally for me it was tough. When I booked I hadn't had the injury so it wasn't a consideration. Not the hotel's fault but just to let people know.

Russell and his team were very welcoming throughout our stay. They gave great advice about restaurants to go to and arranged bookings for us. We arrived early ahead of our checkin time and we were able to leave our car and suitcases to enable us to explore Cape Town for the day. Breakfast was exceptional. Fruit cocktail, toast then a cooked breakfast which changed on both mornings we were there. This set us up for the day. Our room was quirky, in a good way. Loved all the decor and attention to detail with the furnishings. We hope to return.

It was a wonderful place to stay, it started with warm welcome, the house is very well equipped with a special touch of the owners Russel and Allen. We felt very comfortable and welcome. The two have done everything to make it as comfortable and beautiful as possible. Thanks a lot, we will definitely come again.
