Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. Great location, cute & clean rooms but the staff were our favorite. Everyone was very helpful and Warren set us up with wine on the rooftop in the evenings, which had an amazing view of table mountain. Great spot with a cozy feel. Would definitely recommend

The Grey was great. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Lovely room - No 4 with terrace with views of Table Mountain. Bathroom compact but large shower with good water pressure. Located at top of a hill so be prepared for walk back up after a day sight seeing.

It’s almost impossible to find enough amazing words to describe this hotel experience. The hotel itself is boutique, and everything about it feels so personal and custom. Uniquely designed and attention to every detail. The rooms are full Comfort. And the staff, will let me just say as a world traveler it is a rare pleasure to have so much incredible care and personal service. The property is located with an easy access of all the most important things of Cape Town, surrounded by the most charming mixed commercial residential venue/gallery/restaurants and easy to access Uber for day trips. The rooftop patio has stunning views. Honestly, no need to look anywhere else. This hotel has it all. A special thanks to the manager, and I would like to offer my sincere gratitude and a big hug for you. 💕💕 neighborhood photos included.

Location was great. Nice supermarket close by and laundry down the street. Close to port with Uber being cheap. Hotel is quirky with narrow stairs and our room was small but made do for a few nights as area was safe and staff were friendly.
