This hotel is conveniently situated about a 20 minute walk from the V&A Waterfront and about the same distance from the Company Gardens with the Slave Lodge Museum, National Gallery, and SA Museum and Planetarium all situated there. One can also walk to the Castle (a fort really) past the beautiful old City Hall, or to the Greenmarket Square in... more

I was assigned to this hotel for a conference. While it's convenient to the conference center, I would have rather been somewhere else. With one or two exceptions, the staff wasn't particularly friendly. Our room was clean but dull and dark. The hotel has tried to dress itself up as a boutique hotel with the use of some brightly colored... more

This was the last stop on our organised group tour to SA and we stayed here 3 nights. The hotel is very centrally situated for all the sites in the CBD, company gardens, St. Georges Cathedral, the Castle and most of the museums are within a 10/15 minute walk and it is safe to walk from here during the day.... more

The hotel as a whole was decent but we were woken at 6 am one morning when a porter didn't knock, unlocked the door and then slammed against it when he realized we had the latch locked on the inside. I ran over and shut the door all the way and asked what he wanted and he yelled out "... more

We stayed two nights in this hotel and found that it served our purposes well. The foyer, restaurant and bar are small but lovely. Our room was a corner one, and was very large - but very clean and nicely decorated. Staff were friendly, and we used the hotel shuttle at night to the V&A Waterfront at only a cost... more

A well-located small, but neat property with highly professional service that beat the other two Hotels hollow (pun intended) we lived in at Cape Town. The Rooms are large and well-maintained with all that one expects from internet connectivity, tea/coffee maker (& a good selection of beverage sachets), ironing board, hair dryer, TV etc. The Bathrooms are large & clean,... more

As the hotel was within walking distance of the V & A waterfront, we spent a lot of time there, which was excellent. Also it was easy to pick up buses and trips from there. The hotel staff were always very accommodating and the general feel of the hotel was friendly. The room we had was perfectly adequate for a... more

We started our honeymoon in Cape Town at Hollow on the Square. It was a great start to the honeymoon, Hollow on the Square is centrally located with easy access to the main tourist attractions. Our room was beautifully decorated on arrival with flowers and a bottle of chilled bubbly. The room was large and very clean, with two double... more

We spent 7 nights in the Hollow on the Square hotel and were well pleased with most everything about it. Good location within walking distance of Waterfront. Nice suites - roomy & spotless. Good wholesome food (limited choice at breakfast) Really nice staff (both the cleaners and waiting staff) more
