Hippo Boutique Hotel

rooms up to standard , location not bad breakfast not far from hotel using steps to go to my room

Location and convenience Lack of natural light because the building a few meters away blocks the entire view. During a previous stay, I had a room with much better natural lighting.

The location is absolutely fantastic. Close to restaurants, shopping etc. I had a problem with the first room that I had but they managed to move me to another room after two days. The vouchers for breakfast is a great idea. Three different places to choose from for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I’d stay here again! Nothing

Room was exceptional, tons of space and amenities Location was within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. It was also an easy ride to most attractions. Breakfast was fantastics and you got to pick from two local restaurant, within 1-2 mins walk. The staff at Hippo went above and beyond to bring the most comfortable stay. Nothing at all.

It is a lovely boutique hotel. Each room is distinct. Right in the middle of the hip part of Cape Town. Great included breakfast options Perfect

Stayed for one night after our Garden Route tour before our flight back. Busy area, lots of food options. Room was comfortable. Easy to walk along Kloof St & Long St to our walking tour, and easy to return from Bo Kapp. Enjoyed the balcony in the evening. For security, had to buzz in on initial arrival and then used our key cards to get in the building. For those who are sensitive to noise, it stays loud late since it’s a central area. The only issue we had was not knowing what all the buttons/switches in the room were for. We had to try them all out to see what turned on which lights.

Cafe Sofi. Zonke was fantastic!

No on-site breakfast facilities

Maybe in some foreseeable future the AC’s have to be renewed. Also I’d think about the light in the room, that wasn’t super comfortable. Overall, everything’s fine

Loved the breakfast at Egg Head restaurant, but Therapy restaurant was underwhelming with slow service.

Lovely room with kitchenette, large couch and table and bathroom with towel warmer, shower, and large tub. Very clean! Great location with many restaurants close by.

Look no further—Hippo Boutique Hotel is the place to stay in Cape Town! Fantastic location in the heart of the Gardens area, a short Uber ride to the waterfront. I was drawn in by the trendy area and loved the idea of three restaurants to choose from for breakfast! They did not disappoint! Each was delicious and all within walking distance. (One was downstairs!) There is a grocery store around the corner, spas in the area, and the room was top notch! The room was heavenly! The bed was cozy, A/C perfect, the kitchenette was useful, and I can’t rave enough about the bathroom! The shower was hot with ideal water pressure and the bathtub allowed for perfect nightly bubble baths! Pick up a bubble bar from Lush at the V&A Waterfront mall and your stay will be complete! I can’t rave enough and look forward to a future stay! Other reviews struggled to find the lift, but it was easy to locate from the parking area, and I was at the front side of the building and did not hear the outside noise. Nothing, I loved it all!

It would be nice if there was transparency regarding breakfast being outside on the listing, otherwise it wA good. The cleaners talk loud amongst each other in the morning. Whilst other guests are still sleeping..

Superb

Very well located, fun, busy area, full of restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful. They have on site parking which is fabulous to have in the city. Only suggestion I have is that they add sheer curtains over the Roman blinds so you can have natural light and privacy in the room and not just fully open windows or fully closed. Other than that, the small details are great. Having a make up mirror, enough plugs etc

Breakfast voucher Nothing

There no elevator access to the reception if you enter through the front door

The staff was very welcoming and provided outstanding service. Highly recommended!

Fantastic room; so large and comfortable and stylish! Everything was perfect!

Excellent location
