Hippo Boutique Hotel

Reviews

• "A Great Welcoming Stay"

  19 October 2015

  "With its location close to Kloof street and surrounded by hipster restaurants, we were concerned with potential noise levels. But, as promised by the staff, our executive room was surprisingly quiet - a welcome surprise that allowed us to indulge in urban raucousness but regain our middle-aged suburban sanity in the quiet containment of our suite. The loft suite was light, bright and well appointed with delightful contemporary decor. The staff were friendly, helpful and once again, young and energetic. Perhaps the only criticism is that we would have preferred an extra length king bed, greater tv channel offering and a consistent mid-morning cleaning service. Other than that, we would gladly return to this delightful small hotel."

  "The first thing that strikes you about the Hippo is its fabulous location, right in the heart of the coolest parts of Cape Town and with views of Table Mountain. The second that hits you is the funky design and décor – it’s an establishment that can truly call itself boutique and a fantastic experience. We’ll be back whenever we’re in Cape Town!"

  28 September 2006

  "I recently stayed at the Hippo Boutique for six nights.I found the hotel to be excellent value for the price.My room was of quality comparable to larger more expensive hotels in Cape Town.The bed was wonderful, there was abundant hot water, and the kitchen unit was functional and attractive.The high-speed network connection, although occassionally down, was a positive for me.The hardwood floors were a nice touch, but could be a bit noisy at times.The people at the hotel were always friendly and helpful.I also enjoyed the nearby restaurants, and I felt quite comfortable walking in the area both day and night.I would certainly be happy to return here if in Cape Town again."

• "4 days at Hippo."

  "The rooms were good, modern in outlay. A great plus is the kitchenette and the broad band computer access.Some difficulties keeping track of how many towels and glasses should be delivered. A big plus was the very positive staff, who really tried to accomodate every wish and help with advice and reservations. We were really happy about our choice."
