We stayed four nights at the Cape Cadogan and loved every minute. We had a large room with a balcony looking out over the main street on the front, and the little pool and fountain on the side. The marble bathroom had twin showers and lots of hot water which was wonderful since it was quite cold and rainy while... More

Normally we don't review anything, but at their prodding we joined trip advisor. This little hotel was nice, personal, and just the right size. It begs the question, why would you stay in a large faceless place when you can come to a place like this and feel like royalty. Wait, hasn't royalty stayed here!?!

We stayed for five nights at the Cape Cadogan. We enjoyed the location - not touristy, but close enough to everything on our to-do list. There are lovely local restaurants in walking distance and it is not difficult to walk downtown or to catch the red tourist bus (which we recommend). Our room was well furnished and equipped and bathroom... More

Stayed at the Cape Cadogan for 4 nights and really enjoyed this charming house/hotel. It's just the kind of place I like, because it was a beautiful home that had been converted into a kind of urban oasis, with lots of white space and tasteful decorations. Sometimes there are quirky spaces, such as the elevated bathroom in our room, but... More

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. Simone and Pelo could not have been more accommodating. Their enthusiasm for the city is quite catchy. We had room number 2 and it was lovely. Our stay was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. It's within walking distance to some great restaurants and a grocery store which was very... More

Our first trip to Cape Town and could not have found a better property. We've stayed at hundreds of hotels around the world and the Cadogan was a standout. An excellent location, all services nearby including restaurants, supermarket and 2 liquor stores. Large rooms, very comfortable bed with fine linen, classy bathroom. Balcony with views. Lounge with free port and... More

If you are looking for top notch luxury, this is NOT the place. However, if you are looking for a charming little boutique hotel with a lot of character, I would recommend this hotel. It is a very small hotel right in the center of town. The rooms are comfortable, though some are smaller than others. At first, they were... More

We spent 5 nights at the lovely Cape Cadogan in early May. This is a beautifully appointed small hotel. We enjoyed the common areas including the parlor where we had cocktails before dinner each night and chatted with other guests. The breakfast room is bright and welcoming with linen tablecloths and flowers and the breakfasts were very good. Our rooms... More

We started our vacation in Africa with a 5 night stay in Cape Town at the Cape Cadogan and couldn't have been more pleased! Each room was unique and elegantly decorated and the staff from reception to security to breakfast preparers couldn't have been more helpful or gracious. The shower in Room 3 made us never want to leave! Each... More

It's an old mansion ( XIX ) very elegant and well refurbished in style with the architecture. Few cozy rooms some with terrace, a swimming pool and chaise longue to relax close to the water. The service it's excellent as food for breakfast. The location is strategic to visit the cool Garden district , looking at Table Moutain
