    The excellent service made this the best stay. The staff go out of their way to make this a happy & relaxing experience from the moment you arrive. This is only made better by the facilities which are modern, and well designed. Left knowing I’ll be sure to return, and recommend it to friends & family.

    Beautiful guest house and a lovely large bright sunny room. The staff were just amazing, at every turn they went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible stay in Cape Town. We miss Prince and Memory!

    I have nothing negative to say. Our stay was great!

    Memory was absolutely amazing! From the time we made the booking until we left. Such an amazing person & completely went out of her way to make sure my husband & I were comfortable. The staff brought our breakfast to our room every morning, which was really appreciated. The rooms were cleaned daily and replenished. This hotel is perfectly located, a 5 minute walk if that to Kloof street, where there are amazing restaurants and bars. I can't wait for my next trip, I will definitely stay again.

    Everything ! aesthetically beautiful, tastefully furnished with incredible attention to detail everywhere . Excellent mattress and crisp fresh bedding. The location is quiet and off the main roads however , around the corner from so many great restaurants and quaint shops . The breakfast was superb . fresh and tasty with just the right amount of options . As for the people working in this establishment - they have to be among the kindest , most friendly and well trained I have experienced for a long time. i felt so at home and so well looked after . thank you for the most wonderful stay . i cannot wait to return . this will be my go to spot in Cape Town when visiting 😊

    It was perfect.

    I arrived at night. Tired. Entered total luxurious room. Cowboy bath. Bathrobes. Decenter of port. Had 4 tiny glasses. Had my bath. Got in my bathrobe. Took little videos for my family and friends. Even the wallpaper and bedlinen match was fabulous. Opened the tall elegant windows to have a cig on the Juliette balcony, lo and behold I'm staring at Table Mountain. And the guesthouse's twin guesthouse. They have been knocked into the most pretty New Orleans type courtyard. Where I had breakfast. An entire experience. Memory, her name, my breakfast host, is gorgeously friendly and proud of her guest-house. The spread is elegant. Wouldn't expect less by now. In a huge dining-room that is lavishly tastefully decorated like the living room next to it. Even the front porch is in keeping with everything else harking back to its colonial beginnings.
