Great breakfasts & dinners. Very friendly staff. The rooms on the busy Main Street that go up to Table Mountain are quite noisy so bring earplugs, but have a lovely view! I liked the night light in bathroom & very nice decor in main rooms as well as guest rooms

A lovely stay and incredibly helpful staff even though they were short staffed because of the protests. Excellent communication, clean comfortable rooms and the smart tv an added bonus. Great location for getting out of town, going up the mountain and down to the waterfront. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at the Cape Milner for two nights at the start of a group tour with Intrepid Travel. It was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was fantastic with a great selection much like a European breakfast buffet. A few downsides however: the hotel hallways are very dated, the lock on our door did not work to the point where the desk had to give us a physical key to be able to access our room; the dinner was very inconsistent and as others mentioned slow service - I ordered the same sandwich on night two and not only did they forget to make it but then brought me something totally different than what I got before (and it was quite terrible). It's a perfectly fine hotel but nothing exceptional.

The hotel is well presented. The rooms are large and we'll equipped. The dining room has a good menu at reasonable prices and likewise is the bar. The staff were very friendly and bent over back to help you. Sth Africa has a tipping culture and if you comply with that the good service will continue. (Approx 10 to 15 %) The hotel backs onto Table Mountain with great views from outside. There are a number of good restaurants in Kloos Street a couple of streets away. But like most places in Sth Africa it's better not to be out at night on your own . The downside of the Hotel is that it's not in the city centre. It is not near the markets or waterfront. However, a reputable taxi company, on the Meyer,costs about 100 Rand each way from these locations
