My wife and I enjoyed three nights at the Gorgeous George; excellent layout, staff very attentive, meals and drinks choices very good. We plan to go back next year.

In a prime location but comes with the difficulties of people nagging you for money/ bread on the street. Property itself is not 5*, more like 4*. Spacious room, excellent breakfast and very courteous/ helpful staff. Got to see the real Cape Town a bit because of location. Could provide 2 bottles of water per day rather than the strict policy of one/room. Enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend

Hotel itself, due to superb staff and exquisite cuisine, as well as excellent outfitting, super. Only downside: noise insulation of rooms is poor, 5th floor rooms need seever upgrade on noise insulation towards rooftop restaurant and bar. Otherwise noise kills until 1am and atarts with breakfast prep from 530am.

The hotel is incredibly chic and it offers cool amenities. Staff is also friendly and helpful. Room was totally fine and the price was fair. They offer parking. All that said, the area where the hotel is located is FAR FROM CHIC/hardly safe. It's also impossibly loud at night (like, can't sleep loud). Don't see myself coming back.

The location in the centre of the city required vigilance. We knew that when booking. It’s no criticism of the property but we considered that anyone going there should be aware and alert. Having said that the hotel and staff were excellent.

It was a little confusing ti find since its on a pedestrian street. I called the hotel and they sent the bell boy to direct me on how to get there. The rooms besides being very comfortable for my family and I, was very chic. You will fall in love with the rooftop restaurant. Reminded me of a LA chic vibe. The cocktails were amazing. The vibe was great. Athough it felt the hotel would be a great place for younger traveleres, there were so accommodating to my family and I. As a matter of fact, there were lots of families with young toddlers staying here. The staff throughout the hotel was so cortious and helpful. They even walked with me to a grocery store to buy some stuff. I would have liked to have stayed for longer nights. I would definitely stay here again.

A little difficult to find the drop off point, you have to drive through a no entry sign to get to it!

Loved this oasis in the chaotic downtown of Cape Town. Amazing rooftop bar and hip small bar downstairs. Servers were attentive and polite as well.
