My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights mid June. From start to finish our stay was first class. Three Boutiques is a quaint yet fully equipped venue to give a thoroughly enjoyable vacation experience. Homely atmosphere but with all the amenities.
Our room on the ground floor was spacious and we had easy access to the roof top terrace with its magnificent panoramic view of Table Mountain and Lions Head Hill. Located in a quiet residential area the hotel is ideally placed for a walk or short ride to the Waterfront.
Breakfast was lovely, and all the staff made us feel welcome and relaxed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay here again when next in Cape Town. Des the manager and her team even arranged to courier my glasses to me which I’d left in the room to my next destination!

The place is absolutely spectacular. The staff is amzing and so friendly. Everything is so classy and spacious, so elegant and clean and fresh. The pool and garden area is so beautiful and fresh. The rooms was so perfect. The scenery is so peaceful and it is a walking distance from the city centre

I booked last minute (night before arrival) on a third party online site (agoda). I had payed in full for a non cancellation booking. I arrived sat morning and received an email message that there had been a system error and no availability at 3 boutique hotel for first night. I didn't receive a call or anything communicating this. I was very disappointed as I specifically chose the quiet hotel with historical architecture etc. I was told to move to kloof street hotel in town (sister hotel). Initially I thought of canceling the whole booking but being the Cape Town cycle tour most similar priced accomodation was fully booked. I had to liase with a reservation agent natalie/ natasha (forget the name). Kloof Street hotel is not bad but albeit not the same level/ quality and cheaper establishment. There were a lot of bars and night clubs around and a younger hip slightly rowdy crowd. Parking was very tight space wise and had a weird unpleasant odour in the garage. The reception lady wanted to charge me R100 extra for parking even though hotel made booking error and complimentary parking was included. Kloof street was clean had a decent breakfast but quite a noisy area and definitely not what I booked.

Day 2 I got transferred back to 3 boutique. This is a beautiful property. I was upgraded to 1 bedroom self catering room. Ambience great and quiet. Beautiful pool and deck with views of devils peak, table mountain and lions head. The receptionist luvuyo and manager Desiree were very friendly. Breakfast was of a superb quality included 2 cooked items pancakes, and eggs beneddict. The hotel prepared a nice packed breakfast at 4 am one day. The crowd at this establishment were quieter and older folk. Hotel is walking distance from gardens centre and in a pretty surburb with lots of Victorian houses. Most cape town sites were easily reachable in 10 mins by car/ uber. One thing that slightly spoilt ambience was a venter trailer with slight rusting outside my rooms bay window. I assume this had something to do with repair work being done.

I had an issue with my phone charger and reception staff gladly tried to assist and printed maps for me as my phone had died.

What started off as a very disappointing experience became a thoroughly satisfying one due to a wonderful hotel and friendly staff. Please correct online booking system to prevent this in future. Not sure if issue was with hotel or agoda. I have travelled extensively and this was the first time such an issue occurred. Also if issues happen, this should be timeously communicated telephonically and not on arrival. It would have been nice to have an in person apology from management and possibly a voucher or some recompense for the disappointing mix up. I guess the room upgrade was a small consolation.
