Very nice room and hotel. Area ok to walk in, good restaurants nearby. AC didnt quite work as well as we hoped but think maybe it wasnt offered during "summer" months. Only had free breakfast in restaurant - staff friendly but service not great. Had to track down and pour our own coffee 2 out of 3 days

Stayed in CapeTown for 4 days prior to joining a cruise ship. This hotel is in a more central area and we found lots of great restaurants around the area as well as eating in the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the city safety personel on each street junction made us feel safe. Roof top bar and balcony with small pool was a delight.

This was a good location for getting around downtown Cape Town. It was easy and inexpensive to use Uber to go to places that were a little farther away. The hotel does not have a concierge so we had to figure out a lot of things on our own. The bed was a little hard, and the pillow is very flat.

Our initial room was very small, not the cleanest, and directly across the street from a doggy daycare. We requested a different room. The second room accommodated our needs. The food was amazing and the hotel is situated in an ideal location.

Great hotel at a great value!

The SunSquare was a great place to spend our five nights in Capetown! It is a beautiful hotel, in a great location - in City Bowl and walking distance to V&A - and the staff was great. The room was wonderful and even had a view of Bo-Kaap. The full breakfast has everything and was tasty though it was a bit slow at times given some big crowds. The rooftop had a pool and also bar with outside seating and incredible views of the harbor and also Table Mountain. The hotel was very helpful arranging airport transfer. Really wonderful hotel and very reasonable.

Beautiful new property. Location excellent to explore market and muslim section but evening can look bit scary as there are homeless around. I wouldn’t mind staying rather here and take Uber around that is about $4 to go anywhere around town and be in nice property than to be at Waterfront that is located close to the restaurants but is very wore down. Loved this hotel

Stay Somewhere Else - Bad Service

My stay was less than pleasant. Customer service was subpar. They didn’t have a room available for 2 people on the first night, so my sister and I had to split up and then change rooms the second. Also, the breakfast is mediocre. The amenities and toiletries and subpar. Location is dangerous for tourists. We were told not to walk around on the streets - only take Ubers. I would recommend staying in the V&A Waterfront instead. Or out at Camps Bay if you want a beach.

Staff exceedingly helpful. Was able to secure luggage, until our room was ready for early check in. Minimal cost for early check in. Porters extremely helpful with luggage. Room large, quite and very comfortable. Was able to get late checkout at no additional cost. Staff very helpful with all of our needs. Excellent service at attached restaurant. Breakfast included. Sparkling water and red wine delivered to our room at no charge. Assisted with luggage as well as calling for taxi for departure. Excellent internet.. If ever in Cape Town SA, this will be our first choice for lodging.

I stayed there for 9 nights and held a conference in one of their conference rooms. Everything was very well done. Location is good. Staff is nice and the rooftop is great. My only complaint being there on business, even holiday for that matter. There is a techno club that plays really loud music 5 of 7 days from open until 6 am or later and it's loud! I found there are noise complaint options online and several different avenues the hotel can and should continue to follow, even legal action. The staff said the city won't do anything. Build a better case, the city will and should support the hotel that brings millions of dollars of revenue to the city each year over a noisy techno club driving away business. I will be traveling back to Cape Town many times, and if it weren't for the noise from that club, it would be my first choice of hotels. I did get placed in a new room with on my second last night facing the ocean which was much quieter.

The front desk or reception staff were unfriendly and rude. Our room was flooded at 11 pm and we have to pack and move to the other room. On the day we check out we ask if we can do late check out 1 pm. They said no They said 12 pm but I my friend got to check out at 2 pm. The staff did not want to help us with our luggages.
