Signal hill lodge was great. The only downside is that it is not practical to walk to any place with food or shops from this location. I did not have a car so I ended up using Uber everyday.

8/10 Very good

Everything was great overall. Only thing I'd say was the breakfast was odd and probably not worth it. They didn't have or offer any water. They also gave me the cheapest sandwich white bread and told me to toast it lol.

8/10 Very good

We had the most incredible 30-day stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and clean. Throughout my stay, the housekeeping team ensured everything was kept spotless, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. The location was perfect, providing easy access to local attractions. What truly stood out was the exceptional service and attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. From organizing day trips to recommending local restaurants, they were always there to assist with a smile. We cannot recommend this accommodation enough. Whether for a short visit or an extended stay like ours, this place will exceed your expectations. We will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Good place to be.

8/10 Very good

I don't like the glass toilet door that doesn't fully shut. Would be nice if I had a microwave too. The a/c is positioned to blow mostly to the head area by the bed, it's not to my liking. The room feels small. If a phone and microwave are present the next time, I'll give it a 5. An extra blanket was present, very much a necessity in winter. The parking situation can be a challenge if there are more cars but they do their best to accommodate all cars. I like that the room has a carpet. First day I got bottled water, that's excellent. The kettle and teas were available in the room. Points on the smart tv but I guess you need your own logins for services like Netflix. Beautiful garden! Stay there for the view of the city, it's one of the best! The staff are friendly and understanding even after I inconvenienced them on something that was entirely my fault.

The facilities in this accommodation were good and breakfasts adequate. Good value for money. Access is only sensible by car or taxi as the property is close to an informal housing settlement.

It was the worse 4 star hotel I ever stayed in! I send video to your customer service about how bad is the bath room situation! and I have not got any support form the customer service about it!!!
Mohamad milad, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Hot water for a shower worked sometimes and not at others, even though the management said it was fixed. The offer of an omelette was welcomed as the group ahead of us ate almost all the food. The muffins were great. I expected a room with a view, considering the location. Instead, the fabulous views are reserved for the areas where all guests have access to…great idea. Slow service. Nice employees. Horrible interior design…garish.

The location of Signal Hill Lodge only one kilometre from center of Cape Town is very nice!! If you want to climb up to the lodge from the center - it is not easiest job but luckily you can use also taxi. People in hotel are very friendly and helpful.
Olli, 17-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has a beautiful location at the base of Signal Hill with lovely views across the city. It is still quite accessible and walkable to downtown attractions (I was working at the International Convention Centre and could make the walk in 30-40 minutes). The surrounding area is quiet and I felt quite safe walking during the day. The staff are all lovely and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. I have no complaints about the room (not honeymoon standard perhaps but perfectly adequate for business or vacation travel). My only issue was that they must get the lower gate buzzer fixed so guests are not stranded outside!
