5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

The host was very hospitable. I was only able to stay for one night, but had a wonderful experience of the view of table mountain while having breakfast. There's an area that we drove past, near the lodging that seems a little rough. But We hired a car to get there, so we didn't have problems with the location

The Upperbloem is the best hotel I have ever stayed in: Very nice and helpful owner and staff, modern and nice rooms, good breakfast, well-equipped kitchen and a great view on the Table Mountain and the city.

We enjoyed to stay at Upperbloem. The owner was very nice and we had a great room. The breakfast was also good and even if you want to have an early breakfast most is available. The only negative part we can come on is that you have to drive/walk up a very, very steep road to get to Bloem Street.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Katrin's guesthouse! She truly does her best so we can feel at home. The guesthouse is very well located and offers a magnificient view on the City Bowl and Table Mountain. The rooms and the bathrooms were clean and the beds really comfy. In the morning, an excellent breakfast is served and a refreshing... More

It's so liberating with the simple yet stylish design, the amazing views, the self-service breakfast buffet and the very friendly and personal service. It really is a home away from home. Situated in a calm residential area still close to restaurants and shops in the city. OK - it's on a hill so it might be a bit strenuous to... More

Can't say enough good things Great view of the city and harbor. Katrin did a great job of making us feel at home. We stayed for 9 nights in the Apartment with the garden view. Close walk to Long Street and not too far from the City Center, which made it a very quiet little spot. Great little B&B LOVED... More

Upperbloem is really everything you could want in Cape Town. It has amazing views of Table Mountain AND the ocean, and is also in a lovely muslim neighborhood. It seemed like a lot of hotels were in a much less residential area, so was happy to be at our place! There's a nice pool as well as a beautiful communal... More

We immediately felt very at home here. Katrin couldn't do enough for us, including providing gluten free bread for my husband. The room was very comfortable and we loved having such a fantastic view of the city when eating breakfast on the balcony. Great value and thoroughly recommend it!

We had a lovely stay in this little hotel. The location was ideal - near the centre of town, but with a fantastic view of the city. The room was clean tidy and big. Most of all, the owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful - she always went the extra mile to help.

We had a fantastic stay here for two nights using it as our base to visit Cape Town before heading out to the winelands. Good location, although a car is needed to get up the hill. Only negative is my fiancee found it hard to sleep at night due to the noise in the corridor from other guests. Didn't affect... More
