    • The breakfast was amazing! Many options, fresh and cooked, with a wide range of dietary options. Really great.
    • We were greeted at the door though we arrived at 10:30pm. The staff was friendly and check in was fast. They also organized a shuttle for us from the airport and that was an excellent experience. The breakfast food was very tasty with quite the variety and the wait staff was friendly. Little Scotia was clean and cozy and the bed was very comfortable.
    • Location was ideal - close to Main Road. Staff was exceptional.

    Cons -

    • I can't think of anything. Peaceful, clean, amazing bed, friendly staff.
    • There is not a thing we did not like.
    • I would have preferred gluten-free bread on the buffet.

    Excellent fresh fruit variety, delicious hot breakfast and coffee. Beds were really comfortable and excellent safe parking.

    8SophiePosted on: 4-16-2025

    Good location close to UCT, spacious and clean room, nice outdoor spaces, good breakfast, generally very helpful staff

    slight inconvenience that no dinner options are available in the hotel, although there is an excellent restaurant just around the corner.

    9LourensPosted on: 4-16-2025

    The location, room was pleasant. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Staff friendly and helpful. Will think of you again on my next trip.

    Hot water takes a little long to come through, but once it does, it is sufficient.

    5KevinPosted on: 4-12-2025

    Breakfasts are very good.

    The property owner knew me and gave me and my wife a very small room. The wifi was intermittent

    10ThulaPosted on: 4-6-2025

    Location was perfect since it was my daughter's graduation at UCT compass it was just 5 minute away from compass??

    Same breakfast menu every day for 3 days?But everything was perfect, clean, appetising.

    Welcome was warm and friendly by Duty Manager,Keith Staff were obliging and always ready to assist.Overall rating of accommodation was good and could do with a little maintenance upkeep. Room 25 had the swing doors in the bathroom,the noise at night when you want to use the bathroom,disturbs the peace and quiet

    7LieslPosted on: 3-18-2025

    Good location and safe parking

    The staff were not very friendly and the breakfast buffet had tinned fruit..

    9CarolinePosted on: 3-17-2025

    Comfortable, clean, good breakfast, friendly staff

    10LizPosted on: 3-8-2025

    Excellent breakfast with lots of variety. Buffet style plus cooked to order options. Friendly,helpful staff.Spacious dining room with open seating for tables of four. Strong hot coffee, juices and ice water - self serve.Friendly helpful staff- gave us ideas for seeing Capetown and helped arrange transportation options. Rooms spacious and house keeping service was efficient.

    Nothing - it was just perfect for us. Early start time so we could have breakfast and then head out for our sightseeing adventures. A little touch up of paint in bathroom would be a good improvement in the room we occupied.

    10GillianPosted on: 2-18-2025

    Loved the location of my room. I had my own private patio with table and chairs.

    Lots of ants right outside the door. Management was aware and was working on the problem.

    8AnelPosted on: 2-18-2025

    Breakfast was great, the guest house is within walking distance from UCT which was great as I had to go there for work.

    The pillows were a bit old and lumpy. The decor in the room could be upgraded.

    9PalesaPosted on: 2-12-2025

    Location and aesthetics of the guesthouse was 10/10

    The breakfast could be improved, the buffet selection is very limited

    8ThembeniPosted on: 2-3-2025

    The room was big and there was a gown also. Breakfast was great and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    There is no bar fridge in the room and no macro oven to warm food.

    7ManusPosted on: 1-29-2025

    Location, breakfast

    Room has a few problems. Shower not draining properly, tiles next to bed is crackling, shower door cannot open wide due to basin in the way, desk for laptop work is too small.
