The reception staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel is near Long Street and there is a small shopping centre and nice restaurants close by. We asked for a quiet room as I am a light sleeper and the room we had was perfect.

The hotel is well situated just off Kloof St. the rooms are big, well equipped & clean. The beds are big & you can get a good nights sleep. Perfect for a business or holiday trip. The pool was wonderful

Great location on Kloof Street with variety of dining options. Walking distance to downtown, Long Street, museums and Company's Garden. Waterfront and Table Mountain Cable car is short Uber drive away. Fat Cactus bar (below hotel) is great place for a evening drink upon coming back from the tours. Would highly recommend.

I have been in Cape Town at least 20 times, and for now, this is my favorite place to stay. The location is great: in Gardens, which is for me the best place to stay at, in a quiet side street, and in easy walking distance of several restaurants, bars and shops. The rooms are big and very comfortable. Staff is friendly and its really good value for money. If you dont like very loud music, make sure to pay a little bit more and choose a room at the back of the building, so that you dont "enjoy" the music of the mexican restaurant beneath the front rooms.

It is a place we will return to on future trips, we felt at home and the room was very neat, clean and comfortable. Loved the big bath, towel warming rack and the huge king size bed. Hippo Boutique Hotel is a firm favorite!

This was the first stop of our 14 night stay in South Africa. We stayed for 4 nights; the hotel was in a good location with a selection of restaurants in safe walking distance. There was a Myciti bus stop just round the corner which would take you down to the Waterfront and the main touristy area and Bo Kaap is in walking distance. The staff were really friendly, in particular Alan, who gave us lots of advice and was really interesting to talk to. The only downside of the hotel was it had no generator so during load shedding, which happens 2-3 times a day for 2-3 hours a day, there is now power in the rooms. Interesting when trying to get ready to go out and the bathroom is dark as there's no window. The room was also a little tired and could do with a refresh. However, it did provide all the necessary facilities including a little microwave, although again only useful when you had power. There is a restaurant under the hotel which was very popular and although we didn't go there, we didn't hear any noise from it during our stay. I'm not sure where the other 2 restaurants are that they refer to in their description; there was a Thai restaurant a couple of doors down which seemed very popular though. It was a great start to our holiday.
