Good

Solo stay

The location is excellent - right near Kloof st. The hotel felt very safe. My room was quite large and had nice amenities. However, the property felt more like an upscale hostel than a boutique hotel. There was constantly noise coming from downstairs (music, party sounds, etc). If that wasn't enough, the fumes of fried food from the restaurant below permeated my room. Between the oily smell and the noise, I did not sleep particularly well.

Solo stay

J'ai été très heureux de mon choix de Hippo Boutique Hotel. Il est situé tout près de Kloof St, rue assez animée, mais un peu en retrait. La chambre était très spacieuse, bien équipée, impeccable. Le personnel était extrêmement aimable et serviable. Il n'y a pas de restaurant, mais pour déjeuner l'hôtel offre des coupons pour des cafés des environs, comme l'excellent Café Sofi en face. Il faut sonner et monter un étage pour arriver à la réception 24h. Au final, le rapport qualité-prix est vraiment excellent.

Solo stay

The room was in very good condition and clean. There were kitchenette facilities. The staff were very friendly. Even let me check in a little early. Instead of on site breakfast they offer Bouchers for three local chic brunch spot spots which open from 7 to 12. They are Hollywood style with modern Instagram style breakfast options. This is quite a nifty idea, all three places are within walking distance. Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and bottled water are all available and good quality. There is a coffee station where you can make a freshly ground brew whenever you want.
