The property is very clean and has a very friendly staff. The hotel is quiet. The breakfast was delicious. They made fresh eggs for me and served it was bacon and mushrooms. There is a buffet of fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, breads, coffee machine, & teas. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach promenade. I would stay here again.

The receptionist was amazing and all the other staff were all great and helpful. Clean rooms and everything was good

Lovey hotel. Jasper was amazing nothing was too much trouble

Breakfast and facilities were satisfactory, however, the airport pickup negated all this. I had arranged and confirmed airport pickup with the hotel. We arrived on time, but nobody was there for us. After a while, we tried to call the hotel, but couldn’t get through. No airport officials were available. Luckily a cell service provider helped us contact the hotel receptionist, who would look into it. We contacted him a second time and he said no car was coming and we should get an Uber. We explained we didn’t have Uber, nor did we know how to use it. He said it was easy then hung up. I trusted the hotel to arrange the ride specifically to avoid just this situation. How could they desert us that way? Meanwhile we had been standing in the airport area, being harassed by many questionable drivers. We took a ride with someone claiming to be Uber, who charged us over $3500 each. Another guest had been similarly scammed just days before, yet the receptionist hadn’t given us any warning. He did mention it after I told him I had been scammed. He should have arrange some ride for us from his end. It’s difficult to determine if the receptionist was incompetent or in collusion with the scammers. The hotel hires, Exploration Travel, for pick ups. Jeremy, the boss, gave several reasons why his driver didn’t pick us up. My sleep was ruined and it continues to upset me. We received no help from staff, until I talked to the management, who paid for our ride to the airport.

Very clean and very friendly staff nice location!!!

This place is in a great location for the waterfront, the V&A and easily walkable to those areas. We also walked about an hour to Clifton Beach from here. It’s an independent hotel with delightful staff who make your stay feel like a home away from home, the honesty bar was a particularly nice touch.

It is a lovely little inn in a great location. Everything was great and very clean and quiet. What distinguishes HSL is the staff. They are so helpful, smiling always and kinda. A very special shout out to Jasper. He made our stay 10 times better, and it was already lovely. Lovely fresh breakfast! Thank you Jeff too for being so accommodating. We hope to stay again. Cannot recommend it enough

Really lovely & in a nice area. The hotel was clean & exactly as pictured. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The room was a little small, but for the price & location, you can't beat it. I would say the only thing to note is that the stairs are very steep if travelling with large bags. But, the front desk staff did help me carry my bags all the way up. I'd stay here again. All in all, a very easy, straightforward place to stay in Cape Town.

Good location. Nice lobby and eating area. Helpful staff.

The perfect location to explore CT. The room was excellent, breakfast was plentiful and the staff were amazing. Will definitely return.
