We stayed at the Fountains Hotel in central Cape Town in January 2012. It is a great hotel, right in the middle of Cape Town. It's within walking distance of the Cape Town Castle and the Victoria and Albert Waterfront attractions. There is great shopping and restaurants nearby, as well as liquor stores, cafes and currency exchange places. The Hotel... More

stayed in room 612 right by the lifts which were not noisy but one night it windy and you could hear that, the room was very good with multipal types of electrical sockets by the side of the tv + mini fridge and the service was very good as we complained of a slow filling toilet and we were offered...

I stayed here with relatively low expectations, especially considering some of the outrageous reviews posted by others. And whilst the hotel could improve in a few areas overall it's still a great place to stay and represents very good value. My stay was for 12 nights,so I got a good feel for the place. Let's start with the bad stuff.... More

This hotel is the perfect example of clever internet marketing hiding a pit of squalor, incompetence and blatant theft. The entire hotel is absolutely filthy, even in the eating areas. The extraordinary thing is that there is an abundance of staff with cleaning trolleys that constantly block the narrow gloomy passages and yet they cannot seem to make an impact... More

The Fountains Penthouse… not so good. Too many problems with it: • Elevator to the Penthouse floor didn’t work most of the time. • Internet service really bad even with us paying for it. • Parking lot very tight and small to get to it. Almost ran out of space. • Only one AC unit for the entire unit. So... More

We arrived after a 12 hour flight early on the morning of 30th December. The staff could see how tired we were and gave us probably the only room left so we could freshen up and rest. It wasn't ideal. It was small and gloomy as it looked on to an adjacent wing and was near the lifts so was... More

The rooms were nothing like the website, there was dirty linen and used dinner plates all pushed into the corner of the floor we were staying at, was there for several hours. I got charged for parking when we didnt even have a car. Jack Daniels and Southern comfort were on the menu, but no stock for the duration of... More

We arrived in Cape Town on the 29 th December and couldn't find a rental car. Our hotel was right on the myciti bus route. Best public transport in south Africa. Convenient to travel around the city. The breakfast was great. Great location. Would definitely stay here again. More

As with most reviews, the level of expectation often sets the tone for the stay and ratings. I needed a central location for the conference centre - the hotel is well staffed with helpful and friendly service. The rooms, while small, are more than adequate for a good nights sleep. The walls are not very insulated for sounds - so... More
