Great stay at KSH
I had a very comfortable stay at KSH. Pro's and con's summarised: Pros - Incredible location (really in the middle of everything you need on kloof street (from bars, to restaurants and groceries). - Staff were really helpful and friendly at all times and all levels - Beds were high quality and very comfortable Cons - Some areas of the hotel, such as hallways, seem run-down, while inside the rooms are better. This gives a dodgy impression of the hotel at times when it is really better than that. - Can be noisy over the weekend given the close proximity to bars like La Parada and Tigers Milk who have loud sound systems playing music until 12-2am

Lovely hotel in Gardens.
What a truly lovely hotel a nice find will definitely return. Staff all were excellent so friendly and helpful. Room I stayed in a Pod was small but fabulous views I sat most days and nights watching the mountain change colours i eat four times in restaurant which was also nice. My openly criticism would be more loungers round the pool.

Overall a great experience. Only thing that was a little annoying was having a problem getting hand towels and wash clothes. Venture to far down to long street and you run into a lot of pot shops. Nothing dangerous other than a few people begging for money. They seem harmless.

The doof doof hotel
A few things that could’ve been explained better up front. The bar fridge is locked until a R500 deposit is provided. The secure parking that is charged at R100 per day is locked at 23h00 and unlocked at 05h00, you cannot leave or return during these hours. The ‘city view’ pod that we were assigned had a window that looked straight onto a metal staircase. When querying the lack of city view we were told we could get a better view but had to pay in more. Heavy bass started at 15h00 and continued until 23h00. There are smaller issues that aren’t worth noting, safe to say I won’t be rushing back.

Dear David,I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Kloof Street Hotel. It's disheartening to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, and I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. This is most definitely not the impression we wish to leave our guests. We do work really hard to ensure every guest experience is one that they will remember for the positive, rather the negative.I understand your concerns about the room assignment and the challenges you faced with the bar fridge deposit and parking hours. I regret any confusion and want to assure you that your comments have been addressed with the team to enhance our communication and services.Our City Facing Rooms offer views dependant on where the room’s location is on the property and I regret the inconvenience caused by the metal staircase outside of your room. The staircase referred to is one of our fire escapes and unfortunately a safety requirement. I would therefore strongly recommend for future stays choosing one of our mountain view rooms as they offer majestic Table Mountain views. We genuinely value your input and hope you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with an exceptional stay. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we'll do our best to make your next stay more enjoyable.Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to welcome you back to Kloof Street Hotel.Warm regards,Shavonne CoetzerGeneral Manager

Mediocre stay but stellar service
This was the most expensive hotel we paid for on our two week trip. At $150 a night in a country where you can get a palace for $100 I had very high expectations. Pros: location, service, cleanliness; Cons: uncomfortable beds, bare rooms (no art or anything on the walls just concrete), no plugs in the bathroom, additional fee for parking (nowhere else did this), only a marginal late check out upon request, no hand soap in the bathroom, expensive. I wish the stay was more comfortable because the location is PERFECT. Unfortunately I’ll need to find another hotel nearby in the future. We had the luxury suite.

Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and for choosing to stay at Kloof Street Hotel!We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed our perfect location and that our staff provided you with stellar service. While we greatly thank you for your review, we would like to acknowledge that our hotel is celebrated by many for its affordable pricing considering its prime location in Cape Town. It is also enjoyed for its many room types to suit all budgets, from the entry level Pod (economy) room, to the Penthouse Suite. Our rooms are often praised for being well decorated and beautifully understated in their design. We do sincerely apologise that this was not to your taste. We are truly sorry that you felt it was overpriced for your stay and will take this feedback on board. Please also note that you will not find electrical plugs in any bathrooms in South Africa, this is a safety regulation when building. If you meant basin plugs, thank you for this feedback, and we will certainly look into why this was not in your room (all our rooms come standard with plugs). We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future so we can better your memory of our beautiful hotel.Kind regards,Kloof Street Hotel

Stayed for just one night, but really enjoyed the stay. Hotel is really nicely decorated, very modern. We had dinner in the restaurant which was enjoyable and reasonably priced.

Super lovely staff, but not the perfect stay
Overall the staff was very nice but didn’t give me all the necessary information about the hotel and the services that were being provided for me with my stay. It was frustrating with the following: -I was asked to pay for my entire stay when I checked in. However, when I was checking out I was notified that I only paid for one night (and not my two nights) and wasn’t notified until the last moment that breakfast had been included with my stay. -The coffee machine, hot water boiler and refrigerator in my room were non-operational. -The floor of the room was very dusty. -I was located on the ground floor near the center of the hallway. Music from the hallway was quite loud from 4pm in the main lobby and it was quite frustrating.

The reviews cannot be correct. Miserable
The service was super bad. Ended with two guys running at me at the parking garage, one threw himself at my car, after I checked out. Turned out the free parking wasn't free. Never told me not even while checking out. Ac was broken, fan was broken, they lie. They say it's not broken. I repaired it myself, took hours. The whole stay felt like the parking garage scene.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate your feedback and we can assure you that your experience does not meet with the high standards that we set out for ourselves. As stated on our website, in our pre-stay arrival emails and on all of our online platforms, our secure basement parking is indeed an optional extra, but we sincerely apologise that we did not communicate the parking rates to you clearly upon check-in, as per our usual procedure. Plenty street parking surrounds the hotel should guests not wish to make use of the parking facilities. We would also like to apologise that your air-con was not working during your stay, our maintenance team would have dearly loved to fix it for you. We have noted all your feedback and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to improve. Wishing you safe and happy future travels.

If you want to sleep, stay elsewhere
I had high hopes for this hotel because it is fairly new and in a central part of town. The bed is comfortable and the internet is good. Unfortunately, from the first time I arrived, the hotel failed at the most basic element - providing a space for getting a restful sleep. There is a club across the street that is incredibly load and though the hotel is not responsible for this, having better windows to block out noise and sympathetic staff who would at least make an attempt to ask them to turn down the music would have been helpful. Then, after little sleep the first night, there was construction nearly all day above my room which the hotel indicated was from next door so I couldn't even take a nap during the day. Considering it sounded like they were drilling and hammering in my room, it doesn't seem likely it was in another building. Finally, my last night, the hotel itself had a party with music so loud that it was vibrating the floor in my room. The staff were unsympathetic to how loud it was and said there was nothing they could do about it. They are even unwilling to give me a late check out so I could possibly sleep in. Considering I paid for the the better room with the terrace, I would would have expected far more for my money and at least one good night of sleep. There are much better options in Cape Town for this price.
