    The guesthouse is a fantastic place! Spacious rooms, beautiful vintage style, warm atmosphere and all modern facilities. Incredible views on the cape town bay on the one side and the table mountain at the other side. But the best of all are the hosts, Jonny and Sharon. Always friendly, helpful and with lots of good advice and support. I'll definitely come back here.

    We had a fantastic stay at Redbourne Hilldrop Guesthouse, Jonny and Sharon were the friendliest hosts we've met during our stay in SA. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, gave us great tips on what to do in Cape Town. You can tell people like to come back every year because they create a home away from home. The breakfast with a view is great, as is the location (walking distance from Kloof street). Whenever we're back in Cape Town we will definitely stay here again.

    Super friendly and caring owners (Jonny & Sharon) Even though I arrived late, they made the effort to welcome me, offer a drink and have a chat. Location is good, facilities extremely clean and come with an excellent breakfast! I would highly recommend this place to all travelers.

    Nothing, it was a comfortable and restful stay.

    Made to order daily hot English breakfast was amazing, well cooked and presented. Location was amazing on the hill but if you don't drive it is a steep uphill walk or just an Uber ride. The view from the breakfast room was amazing and breathtaking. The hosts Jonny and Sharon are extremely friendly and keen to help their guests make the most of their stay in Cape Town, which I much appreciated. There was also an honesty bar on site and very affordable laundry service option should the need arise. Room was spacious as pictured, the bed was very comfy, air conditioning was great for hot summer weather. I can't wait to return!

    A really nice hotel, located in a very central area perfect for exploring Cape Town and around. Sharon, Johnny and Jordan were fabulous hosts making the stay a real pleasure. It was lovely to meet them and to be made to feel so welcome. They offered great advice on where to visit and eat out. . The room was large and comfortable with great facilities and breakfast was super, served at a window seat looking out over the Waterfront and the bay. Really special. I would definitely go again

    This was our first stay in SA and so thankful for that. The owners make you feel at home right away and Sharon helped us plan. I got food poisoning on the second day and Jonny took us to the hospital in the middle of the night and stayed with us until I got discharged. They feel like family and are the best thing about this stay. Will forever be grateful
