Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“The Silo pretty well defines the adage, ‘Location, location, location’. You have to be up for some bold décor choices, but the location and views couldn’t be better and having access to the hottest museum on the continent is pretty cool.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List

Forbes review:

“Towering above Cape Town’s Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, The Silo Hotel is an artistic escape filled with a quirky, contemporary style and breathtaking panoramic views.”

Telegraph review:

“With a façade remodelled by celebrated British designer Thomas Heatherwick, industrial concrete architecture offset by plush eclectic décor, and an unparalleled vantage point on top of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, The Silo is truly a destination hotel.”

One of a kind hotel - breathtaking!

Absolutely STUNNING hotel. The architecture is breathtaking. The decor is incredible. The art will keep you gazing for hours. Mesmerizing views of Cape Town, whichever side of the hotel you are on. Best location to stay when visiting this beautiful city with the best rooftop bar there is to offer. And then the staff. They become like family. They are incredibly attentive to your every need, well informed, incredibly professional and just downright lovely people. They are probably the biggest reason why we have stayed at the hotel six times.

Going home is always tough.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come stay with you with that furniture and carpet

You need to change all the furniture and the carpets…The bathroom ottoman too …I would suggest getting furniture from Griffiths & Griffiths then the charge per night would make sense.You have a great location but you are not providing luxury at all !You can’t even compare to One and Only but you are charging more than them
