Jose, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed in CapeTown for 4 days prior to joining a cruise ship. This hotel is in a more central area and we found lots of great restaurants around the area as well as eating in the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the city safety personel on each street junction made us feel safe. Roof top bar and balcony with small pool was a delight.

Sehr gutes Hotel mit gutem Preis/ Leistungsverhält

Fussläufig ( ca. 20 Minuten) zur Waterfront, Restaurants, Lebensmittel. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, sehr bequeme Betten und flauschige Bettdecken, Frühstück reichhaltig, Parken günstig, Essen im Hotelrestaurant sehr gut und preiswert

Hôtel bien placé. Roof top magnifique avec des cocktails excellents et bon marché. Difficile par contre de rassembler les extras et de les payer en fin de séjour. Dans de nombreux hôtels, ils prennent une empreinte de CB et on paye nos extras à la fin du séjour. Dans cet hôtel, c’est impossible.

Nära till allt

Riktigt trevligt hotell med fantastiskt frukost och gångavstånd till Tex Waterfrånt, Bree Street bakom hörnet lika som marknader & Shopping. Lilla - kan vara ett nattklubb som har lite jobbigt dunkande musik fram till 6-7 på morgonen om man har rummet på lägre våningar.
HANNU, 9-night trip

Very pleasant stay with very friendly and helpful team. Would stay there again. For sight-seeing ideal place to do everything by foot.

Great hotel and value

Hotel was much better than I expected given the price I paid. Hotel was immaculate, the lobby, restaurant, roof top bar and my room. Breakfast, which was included, was great! I will definitely stay here next time.
GEORGE, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Our initial room was very small, not the cleanest, and directly across the street from a doggy daycare. We requested a different room. The second room accommodated our needs. The food was amazing and the hotel is situated in an ideal location.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful new property. Location excellent to explore market and muslim section but evening can look bit scary as there are homeless around. I wouldn’t mind staying rather here and take Uber around that is about $4 to go anywhere around town and be in nice property than to be at Waterfront that is located close to the restaurants but is very wore down. Loved this hotel

Great hotel at a great value!

The SunSquare was a great place to spend our five nights in Capetown! It is a beautiful hotel, in a great location - in City Bowl and walking distance to V&A - and the staff was great. The room was wonderful and even had a view of Bo-Kaap. The full breakfast has everything and was tasty though it was a bit slow at times given some big crowds. The rooftop had a pool and also bar with outside seating and incredible views of the harbor and also Table Mountain. The hotel was very helpful arranging airport transfer. Really wonderful hotel and very reasonable.

Great hotel in the city centre

Great views from the room, great amenities and the pool and lounge in the rooftop were great. Superb breakfast!
Yolanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a good location for getting around downtown Cape Town. It was easy and inexpensive to use Uber to go to places that were a little farther away. The hotel does not have a concierge so we had to figure out a lot of things on our own. The bed was a little hard, and the pillow is very flat.
