"Unless you’re a Cape Town local, it’s likely you’ve never ventured past Dorp, located at the top of a steep road at the base of Signal Hill and above the residential part of BoKaap, known for its colorful houses. Translating to “town” in Afrikaans, Dorp feels like its own little village within Cape Town. Bordered by a wild garden, and centered around a main courtyard and café, the rooms are in various buildings that climb the hill and lead off down rambling garden paths. Instead of a lobby, there’s a check-in desk next to a grand dining room and lounge filled with fringed sofas and inviting wingback chairs. Each room is entirely different and ranges from cozy spaces to giant stand-alone suites with kitchenettes; some have dipping pools, while others have terraces and steam rooms. One room even leads onto the rooftop garden, offering the best views of the entire City Bowl and Table Mountain at Dorp." - Mary Holland

We had dinner with friends at the Dorp Hotel. The salon restaurant has huge arch windows, and a cozy atmosphere providing an easy place to sit & enjoy your company over a wonderful dinner. There is a large balcony with a beautiful view of the city & table mountain. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed our meals. I started with the caprese salad with artichokes, very good! My main was the famous rotisserie chicken which was excellent! It was flavourful & juicy. Perfectly roasted! |This is a neighbourhood gem. The restaurant does not serve alcohol but you can bring your our wine to enjoy with the meal.

Wow…. |For us this was perfect, a little rustic with charm and personality and fantastic staff. ||Very helpful and informative. ||Our room had an incredible view of table mountain. ||Food at the hotel was great, the homemade milk tart was out of this world. ||Location wise- top of a steep hill, just bear this in mind if walking!! ||We used Uber and they were great and cost effective. ||If we go back to Cape Town, I would definitely look to book here again.

Dorp is exceptional in every single way. It’s difficult to convey the atmosphere and welcome, but akin to visiting friends. I have never stayed somewhere so relaxed and felt so at ease. The hotel itself is stunning even better than the photographs (if that is possible !). The gardens and terraces provide breathtaking views over Cape Town and Table Mountain. Our room was magnificent, the bed was enormous and soooo comfortable. Early morning coffee on our private terrace gazing at Table Mountain was a highlight of the holiday. Breakfast was faultless. We would like to thank everyone at Dorp for such a wonderful stay and we will be back!

Most beautiful setting and incredible views of Cape Town city and table mountain from the rooftop deck. Food was delicious and portions generous. Bring your own wine as wine is not served nor sold here. Definitely going back and can highly recommend.

Dorp is a hotel that stays with you. My husband and I stayed here the week before our wedding, traveling in from San Francisco. Dorp exceeded all expectations. The views are phenomenal - definitely go up to the rooftop! The food is delicious, it was hard to convince us to ever leave the hotel for food since the breakfast, lunch and dinner were so good. We were lucky enough to stay at the Rose Cottage, which came with a gorgeous sitting room and private rooftop. Many of our friends stayed alongside us at Dorp, so I can confidently say every room they stayed in was spectacular. If you're reading this review, honestly, just book at Dorp! I don't know how else to convince you :)

Hands down this has been the best hotel experience I've ever had. Every inch of it is beautiful, the food is incredible (and we tried a lot of it!), every member of the staff was so warm and personable. We would come back to Cape Town just to be able to come to Dorp again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our short time we had here an incredibly memorable experience. Thank you Gail for bringing your dreams to light, when this place is referred to as her autobiography that makes every bit of sense the moment you walk in and she truly left a legacy here that was an honor to enjoy for the time we did.

The Dorp Hotel is one of Cape Town's best kept secrets! What a beautiful hotel, with so many cute and charming little spaces. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and the views are unparalleled. Sad we could only stay for one night, but we will definitely be back.

My family came to the restaurant for lunch, and MY WORD did it not disappoint. The most beautiful decor, lovely staff, and such delicious food. I highly recommend their famous quarter chicken with fries, and their cheesecake. You do not need to stay at the hotel to visit the restaurant during off season, but bring your own alcohol, as they do not sell any themselves. Cannot wait to return!
