Hippo Boutique Hotel

Absolutely outstanding! We booked a standard room for our honeymoon, but to our surprise, we were upgraded to a gorgeous executive room beautifully decorated for our special occasion. The hospitality, attention to detail, and warmth from the staff made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for two nights. The room was very clean. Staff was very friendly and courteous. It does get a bit noisy at night due to nearby establishments. However, given the central location, it’s somewhat expected. Lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Would definitely stay there again. Only thing to keep in mind is that there is no lift. Heavy luggage will be an issue with bringing up and down.

Just finished a 3 night stay here and enjoyed the time from when the hotel arranged the airport pick to the late check out after a last minute trip up Table Mountain due to a couple of days bad weather. Great breakfast options we loved Eggheads . Would stay again

Stayed here for 4 nights with my wife. Location is excellent in the buzzy Kloof St area with lots of bars and restaurants. Felt safe to walk around both daytime and evening. The breakfast in a local cafe concept is good but there are only 2 choices, not the 4 on the website. Egghead was our favourite. Hotel is generally good but some details stop it quite being the boutique experience it's trying to sell itself as. Service was a bit mixed, mostly lovely helpful people, some a bit too busy to actually do serving customers. Our executive suite was a lovely duplex space with huge windows, giant comfy bed and great amenities like the coffee machine, fridge, dishwasher, TV with dstv etc. Great to have a seating area as well as the kitchen and their were nice pieces of art as well. Cheap secure parking was a bonus too. However it only has a view of the Lions Head if you lean out and look left (other rooms may be better), the key card failed twice, the safe constantly showed low battery signs even after the battery was changed and the shower is straight out of a council leisure centre changing room. Really needs an upgrade to something more in keeping with their ambitions. The open plan bathroom is ok as a thing but replace the bath with a big shower space with frosted glass surrounds and a rainwater shower head or it just looks unfinished. Temper your expectations and you'll have a great time here.

We had a lovely surprise room upgrade on arrival, which was very welcome after a 10 hour car trip to reach Cape Town.||The location is amazing, very central to all we had planned. The restaurants below were very lively, but it didn't bother us.||I highly recommend Hippo Boutique Hotel!

Such a wonderful property. Love the cozy rooms and big TVs - perfect for long and short stays. The rooms are clean and so spacious, equipped with amenities. Their executive apartment is the best - two floors and an open bath! They also have utensils, microwave & bar fridge. For breakfast they provide a coupon that can be availed at the nearby restaurants. The hotel location is 10 min walk from hop-on-hop-off bus stop and is surrounded by many shops, restaurants, cafes. great hospitality and wonderful staff. Highly recommend a stay here. Best for exploring the Mother City!
