Hotels near Clocktower Playground, Cape Town

Stayed at Greenhouse for about a week in June and it was a lovely experience. Excellent location on the Main Road, close to the V&A Waterfront, and down the road from cafe's and stores. Barbara and Harry were wonderful hosts who made my colleague and I feel right at home, and were always up for a friendly chat. Rooms were clean and provided everything we needed. There was a microwave on the shared landing, and cutlery and plates were available to take as needed. The room had a mini fridge, and coffee/tea making facilities. The bed was big and comfortable, and the bathroom, while small, was very clean and comfortable. The room was perfect for someone like me who was the only occupant. I also had access to an iron and ironing board, which I appreciated very much. The guesthouse is charming with wooden floors and stained glass doors in the reception, and it was a serene space to be in. My room was at the back which meant I could enjoy the overall quiet and privacy. No breakfast, but seeing as there are multiple excellent cafes and restaurants down the road, this is not a drawback at all. The only point I have is that the wall between my room and the neighboring room was very thin, and I was able to hear certain nightly sounds from the couple occupying that room. Because the bedframe seems to be mounted against the wall in question, drywall if I'm correct, I did feel some movement and vibration. It might be a good idea to inform guests that walls are thin and sound travels. I've seen some reviews mentioning homeless people, but that is the reality of South Africa, no matter the neighborhood, and Barbara and Harry cannot be held responsible for that. They were lovely hosts who were genuinely interested in their guests, and I would certainly recommend Greenhouse to other travellers.

I stayed for a week, this youth hostel in Cape Town is very clean. There is a separate bathroom. My roommates are very friendly and come from all over the world. The front desk clerk is very hospitable.

I've stayed there a few nights, and return again & again; even contemplating a long stay. The place is clean; the communal kitchen & lounge area is inviting, the in-house pub & adjoining balcony is cosy and gives the feel of a private party, above the bustle of Long Street below. Communal bathrooms are OK, kept clean. I love the many nooks & turns & corners of the old house and the creaking wooden floors. But the guests are what make the place feel like a home away from home -- an eclectic mix of local & foreign visitors passing through the city. There's a feeling & atmosphere of being in a backpackers in a foreign city, somewhere abroad, making one feel as if one is on holiday, somewhere away from home. I love this place! It's become my accommodation of first choice, for a party night or two in the city.

The room is so big, there is 24-hour front desk service, and the staff's service attitude is very good! But it is located in the bar street, so it is relatively noisy at night, and there is vibration underground, so it may not be possible to have a good sleep. In addition, while waiting for the bus outside the hotel, my phone was almost snatched away, which was a bit dangerous. The staff also came to help immediately through CCTV, and there were many police patrols nearby. Fortunately, it came to an end!

Lovely hotel. Very spacious suites with great views and good amenities. Staff outstanding; Thandi, in particular, paid special attention to our needs in the restaurant and bar and was extremely pleasant. Food service at pool a little slow but quality of food good. Pool very private and good ambience. We had two rooms: 540 top floor beautiful sea view. 427 lower floor and view of adjacent hotel and partial sea view. Rooms need a little attention: no bottle opener, double adaptor or wine glasses when we arrived. Balcony doors don’t close properly but not a real problem for us as we had great sunny weather and little wind. Central location - great walkability and good neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and bars and close proximity to the promenade for a morning run, evening walk or swim in the two nearby tidal pools.

Lovely stay at Newlands Peak Aparthotel. Quiet and clean location. The apartment itself is very modern and has everything you need. Everything looked brand new! The swimming pool on the rooftop is absolutely breathtaking. Very relaxing. Spacious place on the rooftop to workout and braai. Thank you for a great stay!

John and his wife made our stay an absolute delight. Upon arrival we learned that John's wife upgraded us, initially I requested 1 room with 2 beds with onsuite,and she gave us 2 rooms for my brother and myself. Everything was clean. Location was near Cavendish which was great and the evening we went to a show and it was 2min away from the venue. Thank you John and wife we will definitely be seeing you soon
