The Townhouse is a lovely city centre hotel. It is reasonably well located, albeit in an area that some may be wary of after dark. Where it excells is in its customer service - the staff really do go the extra mile to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

The rooms are decorated in a modern style and some rooms have great views over Table Mountain and the Devils Peak. Although the rooms aren't enourmous they provide plenty of room if you just need a base from which to operate.

The restaurant is excellent, from the superb breakfast buffet through to the wonderful evening menu.

If you need a good base from which to explore Cape Town and the surrounding areas you can't go wrong with the Townhouse.

What a gem in the heart of Cape Town. We had a lovely room on the 10th floor with amazing views over Table Mountain. Large comfortable bed with clean linen every day. The hotel is spotlessly clean. All the staff at the hotel are brilliant - always charming, helpful and cheerful. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and the hot breakfast was cooked fresh to order and always delicious. We also ate several evenings in the hotel restaurant and there is a wide range of choices of inexpensively priced meals, together with a good selection of wines. The hotel can arrange tours for you and we went on a brilliant Tour of the Wineries around Stellanbosch, Paarl and Franschoek. The hotel has a floor in the next door multi-storey car park and you can park there very cheaply. The hotel is extending at present into the ground floor of the car park and so there is currently no swimming pool - so if you want one you will need to check whether it has been rebuilt yet! We would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

We walked down to the Waterfront during the day but when we visited in the evening we took a taxi - very cheap. We hired a car through Southafricar - agents for Europcar but much cheaper. We found the roads in and around Cape Town very pleasant to drive on - wide and well surfaced. Road signs are also plentiful and clear. From the hotel we did several day tours by car, each lasting around five hours and saw some wonderful scenery.

Used this hotel as our base for a weeks stay in Cape Town. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was lovely and comfortable.
The breakfast was great - a cooked breakfast prepared individually for you and a good way to fill up for a full day sight-seeing!!

I guess the location isn't great after dark - but I think that applies to most of Cape Town. However, a taxi to the Waterfront was only a few pound and the hotel always called one for us which arrived in minutes. During the day the area is fine and we felt totally safe walking around the local streets and shops - the Castle and a couple of good museums are only minutes away by foot.

The hotel is real value for money, a good location and I would definitely stay there again!!

I was very happy with my stay at the Town House, when I arrived at 10pm as advised the receptionist greeted me by name. Got me toothpaste etc which i had mislaid. Room excellent, food very good and all staff first class. It was a pleasure to stay there and I recommend it highly
