Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“In the heart of the Central Business District, Cape Heritage Hotel is nestled among the popular restaurants, bars and boutiques of Bree Street. Every floorboard of the 1771-built house creaks with history, but the 17 rooms are a thoughtful hybrid of old and new. A pergola in the cobblestoned patio is draped with what is said to be the oldest grapevine in South Africa.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Cape Town.

Telegraph review:

“Quirky, unusual rooms bedecked with Persian rugs and Oriental treasures encircle a charming courtyard in an 18th-century building. It’s in the historic heart of Bree street, which offers a great choice of restaurants and bars on the doorstep, and is within walking distance to all the city sights, shops and restaurants.”

Charming hotel in a great location

Location was very good. The hotel has real charm. The room decor I would describe as vintage. The breakfasts were excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful.

Lighting in the bathroom in particular was dim. Noise from the street could be loud until midnight or later.

Exceptional

Location was great just a few minutes walk to the hop on bus, the staff are FABULOUS, lots of places to eat close by. Breakfast is top notch and the mini bar was reasonably priced, had a wonderful 5 night stay and felt right at home. Definitely wouldn't have had as much fun if I had picked a different hotel. Great market just down the street too. Couldn't fault anything in either the room or service, was sad to leave.

Lovely hotel with huge rooms

Perfect location on Bree Street, within a few minutes' walk from lots of bars and restaurants. The room was absolutely huge, including a separate dressing room and sizeable bathroom. Loved the old school colonial feel of the hotel.

As the room is on a main road, it's not the quietest (particularly when there's live music next door at Hacienda) but this wasn't a problem for us.

Very comfortable stay in the middle of Cape Town

The hotel has a lot of history and we could see it during our stay. Also there are beautiful arts everywhere including our room. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic. Parking is located across the street and they have a dedicated parking spots for hotel guests. Bathroom is very spacious and clean.

The noise on Friday evening, but we were aware about that as the hotel is located on the top of restaurants/bars so it was not a surprise for us

Wonderful room and Great location!

Wonderful historic building in the center of Cape Town! My room was spacious and well furnished and I especially appreciated the modern bathroom, natural light and comfortable bed. Breakfast on the patio had lots of choices (including eggs cooked to order!). There were several restaurants in close proximity as well as walking distance to important historical sites. The staff were delightful, always ready to offer suggestions and directions.

The air conditioning unit in my room was somewhat noisy.

Good for people who are looking to stay in the city center (right on Bree Street).

This hotel is supposed to be on one of the hippest streets in Cape Town, with many bars and restaurants right around the corner.

The property feels a bit outdated. We had people working right outside our window while we were in the room. The area doesn’t feel safe.

Perfect place to stay if you are a night owl!

The hotel is beautifully and interestingly decorated, breakfast was very good and the staff friendly and helpful. They kindly let us have a late check out which was so also very helpful.

Unfortunately, I was unaware when booking that the area was so lively and noisy, so the only issues i had with the hotel was the noise and the lack of a nice area to sit out, as the roof is not a very nice place to sit.

Very pleasant well kept establishment with very friendly staff and yummy breakfast! Thank you!

Staff were very friendly and breakfast was superb - plenty of choice. All staff were always willing to help and also spoke when they say you. Appreciated being able to drop our bags off early on the first morning.

Difficult to provide a quiet room...as it was New Years Eve and Cape Town was buzzing...but room was great.
