Hotel looked good from the outside, but the entrance was on one side of the building creating long corridors. The rooms were small but adequate. Bathroom was small but also no real complaints. Shower was big enough despite the voyeurist glass side wall. Chairs were plastic, which perhaps indicate I am not very much into the nuevo stuff. Dining area... More

Fancy afordable business hotel with nostalgic hostel feeling.  Very well located close to shopping centers and gym.  Rooms are small but smartly decorated with "clear view" to the shower, which gives the impression that the room is bigger.  As almost everywhere in South Africa, you don't come to the check out short in time. A minor extra request can turn... More

When I ask the desk clerk to inspect a room prior to booking in he was visibly irritated. This college guy apparently thinks he's too important to be working in a hotel. The only genuinely nasty person I encountered in two weeks in SA! The room was dirty. The bathroom floor had not been mopped in quite awhile. The room... More

We stopped here for one night on a drive down to Cape Town. It's location was ideal for this purpose. The staff were excellent and the room was clean and well kept. We had a ground floor room which faced directly onto a wall which wasn't great, it meant we got no natural light in the room and the lighting... More

We spent 2 nights at the Urban Hotel and it was cheaper than we expected for such a shiny new place. The rooms were clean and spacious and the check-out was late enough for us to recover from the night before. Excellent location, nice and close to all the night spots More

This is a good-value hotel with an excellent location, whether you're doing business or just passing through the city. The rooms are tastefully decorated, as is the rest of the hotel - very modern. There aren't loads of features to this hotel, but you'll get a bed, a small TV, all the bathroom necessities with modern fixtures. The room we... More
