This accomodation really does give good value for money. We stayed in the house with the shared kitchen and it did the job well for our 3 night experience of Cape Town. Our room (although not ready on arrival) was cleaned each day and we were provided with a travel cot for our toddler. There is a nice patio at... More

I recently stayed for a week at House on the Hill during my visit to Cape Town. It was a great location near the waterfront, and the house is quite historic and has a lot of charm. The bedrooms are very clean and the staff is really accomodating, and the prices are reasonable--- what more could you want? The staff... More

Area is quite nice - up and coming with a super deli on the main street nearby with nice places for breakfast and a coffee (Miss K is in lonely planet book and worth a breakfast visit). Nearby restaurants good and access to Waterfront etc is easy. Don't expect friendly or good service at all. Our room was average and... More

House on the Hill was a perfect accommodation for my friend and I while we were in Cape Town for the weekend. Our double room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was plentiful, with lots of fresh fruit, breads, cheeses, meats, juice, coffee and tea. The staff was helpful and friendly. The location was nice, as it was away from... More

We arrived late in the evening in Jan. 2012, and because we had to deal with missing luggage with SA agent we got out of the gate almost midnight there. The pickup the hotel arranged was there and got us in the hotel smoothly. Claudia was there waiting for us and when she knew we did not have our luggage... More

The guys at house on the hill were really helpful with booking cabs, hiring cars and advice on restaurants and things to do. It's all walkable from there but easy to get a cab. They have wifi but I couldn't get it in my room and it was still very slow at reception but that's the only negative we saw.... More

House on the Hill is a great place to stay in Cape Town. An easy 15 minute walk to the V & A, super friendly and helpful staff who will recommend and book tours for you. Safe area, close to restaurants, rooms clean and comfortable (mine even had a hot water bottle) and they serve a very good breakfast. I... More

Well, after staying at just about every lodge in the area over the last few years, I'm very happy to have discovered this little gem of a lodge. Very very nice and cosy, and clean and friendly. It's central and yet surprisingly quiet in its little cul-de-sac. I'm a regular visitor to Cape Town and, at long last, I've found... More
