We loved our corner balcony room, just as pictured. The balcony was huge! Yes, there is music well into the night, but that didn't bother us at all, as we were aware of such beforehand .... just part of the street atmosphere. All staff we interacted with were very welcoming and helpful! A great stay!

Great place. Great location. The street is noisy. Best restaurant nearly.

I had booked a standard double room with this hotel but when I arrived, they told me I had been placed in an apartment across the street. This apartment required four different keys just to get into the room. The entrance was in an unsafe alley where people were smoking hookah in a van out front all night. The trip up the stairs to the apartment was very steep. The apartment itself was beautiful, but it smelled strongly of dog urine and the air conditioning was broken so two industrial fans had to be run all night. And the windows were open, which meant a lot of noise from the nightclub downstairs. A bunch of things in the apartment were broken, including the air conditioning, the shower door, some of the outlets. I complain to the staff and they tried to address the smell with an oil diffuser, but there was nothing they could do about the air conditioning. And the smell really didn’t go away. In the morning I coordinated with the staff and Expedia to get a refund on my second night and state somewhere else. I was not happy with the hotel, but the staff did really try to address my concerns to the best of their ability. I really feel they need to deep clean this apartment and not be double booking on travelers / putting them in alternative lodging.

It's ok

The hotel itself and the staff were great. Hotel is clean and the staff are very helpful. However the noise from the bars around the hotel especially on a Friday and Saturday night is outrageous. Its really difficult to get any sleep at night due to this.

Prim the manager was an angel! She took good care of me. The staff was impeccable and friendly. Everything is close and walking distance. Will definitely be staying again here!

I stayed at the Hotel on a business trip for several nights. The staff, rooms and cleanliness of the hotel were of a high quality. I was particularly impressed by the helpful attitude of the staff. However, I cannot support staying there again due to the very loud music being played at the club/pub below the hotel until 2-2:30 in the morning that reverberated throughout the hotel, every night. I was told that in some cases that the very loud music can continue until 4 in the morning! Clearly, the management of the hotel is either unable or disinterested in solving the matter of the very loud music. Furthermore, it is disingenuous to advertise the hotel and not mention the problem with the very loud music. I was only warned about this when I checked in. Once again, thank you to the staff for their helpful attitude. I cannot say the same of the hotel management in solving this matter.

the rooms are fairly adequate, and staff are polite. However, the property sits in a very noisy neighbourhood with a lot of loud noise from bars and night clubs throughout the night. The loudest techno music comes from a property directly below the property. The wall of my room room shook every night all the way to 5 or even 7 am. Ear-plugs, a/c and closing windows did not help. The staff tried calling the noise police and that did not help either. I am surprised no one has mentioned this, and that Expedia are marketing it all.

I have never stayed in so noisy a hotel room. My room was directly above a nightclub and my bed and walls vibrated with the music until 2am on Sunday evening. I checked out early because it was impossible to sleep.

Spotless clean hotel, friendly staff, just exceptionally noisy at night if you have an outside room

Generally, the hotel is good, save for the noise that comes from Marve bar, and the general alarming substance abuse, the staff is excellent, Tatenda, Chido, Shantel, Teeone, and a very super driver, Desmond, I will not hesitate to recommend the facility to anyone. I felt at home, i was helped with charging my phone and laptop. i will always return there , once in Capetown.Thank you, siyabongo! Dankie! obrigados, shukran! Asante

Fantastic staff, beautiful clean rooms and linen, great location for nightlife.

Super noisy due to bar and restaurant right across the street and next door

The hotel is convenient but be prepared to brave the stairs. If u have large luggages the stairs will be problem. In addition if you are a light sleeper do not book this hotel as there is pub downstairs and night club across the street. The noise from the club and cars will be there until early mornings.

The service was good. Hotel clean. The environment was very noisy based on the night clubs around the area.

Should carry health warning above night club. Floor literally vibrates until 2am. Impossible to sleep had to move. Plus no provision for load shedding so having to stumble around in the dark. Really only for people that want to go out clubbing until 2am. Not staffs fault but Expedia should warn not for kids or anyone that wants any sleep at night.

Great location for someone looking for a solid night out

You are in the heart of the action, sound is a bit loud from the bars around but if you are a good sleeper, it's minor. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Stayed 3 nights and felt like family from the moment we walked in. Staff are all so kind, personable and professional. Loved our stay here would absolutely recommend.

Really nice centralised place to stay. Front balcony has a stunning view of Long Street and Table Mountain. The gentleman at reception went out of his way to make my stay nice. Nice bedding. Can do with complimentary waters and a pool or jacuzzi especially during the pandemic. It’s the only reason I moved to another hotel.

The staff and service very good. We experience killing roaches each night and the staff informed of the above problem

The view from the common balcony. Internet connection was sketchy.

Nice hotel in a dodgy neighborhood

Beautiful terrace overlooking Table Mountain and Long Street. Neighborhood a bit rough with the drugged-out parking attendants, but the hotel itself had friendly staff and the room was fine with a great bed. The fan stopped working a few times.

My room was beautiful with a huge balcony. Although the area is sketchy after dark I enjoyed some wine in the safety of my private balcony and enjoyed people watching. The staff were fabulous and accommodating. Friendly beautiful people. So stylish and clean with double pane doors and windows to block any street noise. Location was perfect to partake in adventuring to the waterfront and downtown area.

Terrific choice for Cape Town

Great hotel - really friendly staff and super location right in the heart of CT, walkable to tons of nice restaurants. The hotel is beautifully done -- extremely clean and gorgeously decorated. Our favorite part was the view of Table Mountain from our room and from the front balcony. The only downside is that there is *no* door/curtain/anything separating the bathroom from the rest of the bedroom, which is awfully awkward if you're not traveling alone. Other than this, no complaints!

Great hotel

The hotel is in a great location at the center of the long street. The staffs are very friendly and there’s tea and coffee in the room. The room is very clean and quiet even though located on a busy street. Highly recommended!

Excellent

The LSH is a great place to stay. I enjoyed my stay

You step out of the door into the heart of Cape Town.

The hotel is very centrally located and you are right in the middle of lots of bars and a few restaurants. The immediate area is safe at night. My room with the balcony was comfortable, but the whole hotel could use better cleaning and new paint, particularly the floors. Things are starting to look tired.

We were in room 1 with large balcony facing Long Street. Room was very clean and amenities we were looking for. The views from the lobby balcony and room 1 balcony itself were amazing. Staff was on site 24 hours. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

The property was centrally located to everything. The Hop on Hop off bus is only a few blocks away. Restaurants and bars were steps away. The staff was always pleasant. I would recommend this property

Great stay

Lovely stay!! The whole staff was so welcoming and our room was lovely. Fun location and would stay again if in the area. Thank you for a wonderful home for the night :).

If you love to be in the heart of the action this hotel is a must stay. Walking distance to alot of attractions. And you're staying on the world famous long street with all of the clubs, restaurants and shops. But have no worries because the hotel is truly sound proof and you will sleep like a baby. The stuff are very helpful and accommodating. I will stay at this hotel for my next visit to Capetown South Africa.

Hotel is clean but area is not safe for family to stay.

Very hospiable and helpful peopleand a wecome contrast to the waterfront.

This is a really well-kept boutique hotel in a not-so-nice part of town. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and the room was quite nice; however, you have to want to be in a party district to enjoy the location. Think Duval or Bourbon St. but with a bit more of an edge.

Great stay - Reccomended

Central location, super helpful staff knowledgeable about Cape Town and the immediate area, comfortable beds and not as loud as expected at all. Can’t beat the value of this hotel.

Very central location, very accommodating and pleasant staff. The area is loud in the evenings and the area can take on quite a sketchy nature --this is Long Street after all

Superb hotel right on long street, nice room, well furbished and clean. Staff was really nice and helpful. Helped us taking a doc appointment or even to book a table at a restaurant. Note that it is on long street next to bars that can be loud at night. Room sound insulation is good but bars sometimes put speakers on the street.

nightlife

The location is super fun. Right where all the action is on Long Street. The balcony rooms are great. It is in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Long Street, so it is great place to stay if you are looking for night life. While the room was much much quieter then I expected, there was a small amount of evening night life noise; but it was not bad at all. Staff were very very friendly. Parking, for a fee, is close by.

The hotel was clean and the room very comfortable. The staff were friendly as well.! It was a great location for exploring long street bars and music!

Would recommend it for short stay

Was worried that the noise will be very bad but overall was a great experience. Clean and cozy small place. Would recommend it

A pleasant stay

Long Street itself is getting a bit seedy. The hotel does not provide meals, but there are of plenty of restaurants nearby within walking distance. We found an exceptional one for dinner, and another fine one for breakfast. The hotel lobby does have some snacks (some free, some not) and free tea/coffee. The rooms are two floors above the street, and no elevator. Great personal service. Rooms are spacious enough, but not huge. Supposedly there are potential issues with late-night street noise due to bars and clubs. They will even provide earplugs upon request. But we stayed 4 nights and never had any problems.

A pleasant stay

Long Street itself is perhaps deteriorating and maybe getting a bit seedy. The hotel warned us about street noise from bars and clubs, but we never had a problem in 4 nights. The hotel provides no breakfast, but we found a nice spot walking south on Kloof Street . Our room was two floors up from the street , no elevator. One warning is: don’t use an ATM after dark on Long Street. We tried and were almost scammed by two men trying to “help” us use the machines, which are really just standard ATM machines, in English.

Lots of activities that will keep you busy. An assortment of different restaurants to cater to every craving you might have. 2 blocks from the Hop in Hop Out terminal. Shops Line the streets. Night life is very much alive on the weekend. Parties last until 4am.

The hotel is ideally location nearby to most restaurants and shops plus the lively rhythm of Long Street.

This hotel is a good find upstairs on Long Street. This section of Long Street is a bit gritty (be cautious walking around at night and very early in the morning), but the hotel itself is lovely. The staff is unfailingly helpful, caring, and friendly. They will gladly call you a cab or Uber, or will make dinner reservations for you. The room was beautiful, with a sliding glass door opening up to a simple patio with a couple of chairs. Good-sized bathroom, comfortable bed, and everything was very clean. Eat at the terrific Royale Café across the street, and if the waitress recognizes you walking about town later in the week, she will be sure to say hello. Also walk up the block and eat at Mustaccio's. Excellent coffee and breakfast. We regret we were not able to return for lunch, but we have no reason to think it would disappoint in any way. Go up Kloof St (extension of Long Street) and enjoy a fancy dinner in funky Kloof House. One could stay in more genteel parts of the city, but this is a good find.

Nice hotel right in the heart of nightlife and food.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Long Street Boutique Hotel. The hospitality was fabulous and we felt extremely welcome. Our room was clean and stylish and had a huge balcony overlooking Long Street.

A comfortable and friendly place

Staying at the Long Street Boutique hotel was a distinct pleasure. I spent two weeks in Cape Town, and stayed at the hotel for the entire trip. The staff was extremely helpful, and so pleasant. It was like an extended family, providing advice and help with booking outings and providing recommendations. The room had everything I needed, and with the double layer of doors to the balcony adjacent to long street, very quiet. Long Street is quite a happening street, and Capetonians like to party, so the ability to have a peaceful quiet room was awesome! I especially loved having the large balcony to sit outside and have morning coffee or on evenings when I was in the mood for a glass of wine and a good book. The city and surrounding little towns, and of course the landscape, are unbelievably beautiful, and the hotel location was perfectly situated to provide easy access to everything on my list of to-do's. The Euro Haus cafe and bakery, located about a block from the hotel, was my go-to for great breakfasts and simply sensational baked goods. You gotta go! I heartily recommend the Long Street Boutique Hotel to anyone coming to Cape Town. It's perfect for those who want a well situated base of operations for their trip.

Friendly staff in a hotel in a great location.

Fantastic location in long street, middle of the nightlife.

Oasis on bustling street

This is a great place to stay. A gem among backpacker hotels and bars. Great staff, rooms, location. Very quiet rooms despite the loud street at night - double sets of windows. We would stay here again.

Small but grest

We had a really good stay. The staff was very friendly and always suggesting places to eat and things to do.

Sweet Hotel in Cool Location

Staff was gracious, friendly and attentive. I made two separate bookings for total of 7 days and 2 rooms. Wonderful assistance in changing rooms. While area is the Bourbon Street of Cape Town ( Americans will know the reference) , rooms and windows are well insulated for noise.

Nice but noisy

I had a room overlooking two night clubs and the noise went on until 4.00am. My partner had a room on the other side of the hotel which was the exact opposite, a room with a view of table mountain and so quiet. The hetel is better than the photographs. I would stay there again but request a room on the quiet side. If you are a night bird then this hotel will suit you

Stylish Boutique Hotel.

Great Boutique Hotel! Amazing staff. So accommodating and friendly. Weekends can be a bit noisy on Long Street but it's also a good central location to see the city.

Hotel was lovely. Very helpful staff. Lots of great restaurants and bars on the street. Great if you don't mind some noise.

Lovely find

Made a last minute reservation and they not only took me but let me check in at 0800. Fabulous staff. Great shower, maybe the best in my 35 day trip. I had been at a backpacker up the street that was just horrible. This place was heaven in comparison.

Fantastic boutique hotel on long street

Stayed a week for the England cricket match front New Year's Day Great welcome, checked in early and had a room with balcony down the side street off long street. Yes it is very noisy until the small hours, but surely you will only stay if you are enjoying the bars and nightlife of Cape Town. Even so, I just wore earplugs as not a god sleeper, and this was enough to see me through the night Very modern rooms, good shower, nice bed, plenty of room. Breakfast is at a nice modern cafe 3/4 mins walk aware where you choose of thief breakfast menu, with a good choice

Long Street

Loved the style of the room, large balcony. Clean and well appointed for the value. Staff very helpful, nothing a problem. No catering facility available. However, Euro cafe, fresh bakery - wonderful and cheap, just around the corner. Locality excellent if wish for central location, however, Long Street busy/noisiest street, which accepted. Soundproofing/ear plugs offered. Just wished premium room offered a bath. Some rooms located next to administration/meet/greet area. Felt safe walking around, just need to be street wise like anywhere unfamiliar.

Trendy hotel in a hot spot for nightlife

Wickedly comfortable bed and awesome shower and delicious coffee. We were a bit worried about noise disturbances when we arrived late on a busy night out. But the hotel is impressively insulated and we slept soundly.

I had a lovely short stay at the hotel with good service received from the friendly staff and it was safe.

Not suitable for business travellers

The Long Street Boutique Hotel is a pretty hotel stuck in the middle of one of Cape Town's busiest party hubs. No matter how pretty it is, it can't avoid getting tangled up on Long Street's loudness. While the hotel has very nice decor and my room was comfortable, and there are nice staff around to help, I couldn't get around the constant loud noise and music from the bars next to it. I wore earplugs to sleep, but could still hear everything at 4am. Breakfast is served at a cafe which is under 5 mins away. You can only spend 60R (coffee and bread). Wifi didn't work in my room so I had to sit in the lobby in order to work. If you're on busines, then definitely not your option. If you're in party mode, then maybe yes.

Great Hotel Experience!

I found this hotel to be conveniently located to nightlife, restaurants, pubs, etc. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. My deluxe room was immaculate and cleaned daily. I also LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED the complimentary breakfast offered at the restaurant around the corner (so fresh and delicious)!

3 day visit to Cape Town/Long Street Hotel

We visited 3 nights in Cape Town. Picked Long Street Hotel on the internet. Old place, but very clean, nice furnishings and bathroom. Excellent breakfast included, at a restaurant around the corner. Parking available at a church 1/2 block away. Location was fun, due to all the restaurants and small shops nearby.

Watch out for flea bites and muggers!

Had to move rooms as we got flea bites. Only a verbal apology from hotel despite the receptionist saying he was looking into ways of giving a financial apology. We were given a second room that was OK - although very small in size. Hotel overall just OK but nothing special. Hotel was economical with towel washing, even if you left the towels on the floor and glass wear that was used never got washed. Another guest staying at the hotel was mugged at knife point not far from the hotel during daylight hours. The noise levels from the rowdy bars outside wasn't too bad but the taxis beeping in the street outside at 4 am could sometimes be loud.

Great Hotel, centrally located

I really enjoyed staying at Long Street Hotel for a night. This is ideally located if you want to spend your evening bar hopping on long street. The room was beautifully decorated, and very spacious.

In the thick of it!

Cape Town has changed over the last few years - this is a fantastic boutique hotel which is right in the heart of it. From the balcony in our room we could see Table Mountain, but also up and down Long Street, which is BUSY with people for probably 20 hours a day. It's not quiet and peaceful - but if you want to be in the thick of it with staggering distance to a great variety of restaurants, live music and many bars, this is a good place to be. You might need earplugs for a good night's sleep - not from noise inside the hotel, but because it is all happening around you - and when it stops happening you have the corporation dustcarts clearing it up... Fantastic friendly and helpful.

Good Clean Place to Stay with Internet Issues

Some previous hotel patrons have mentioned the party neighbourhood - which I was aware of when I booked, but thicker walls and windows to keep out the sound keep out the internet access - which I needed early in my trip to set up some final vacation plans. It is well situated to the Hop On/Hop Off Bus and there are restaurants and bars nearby. The room was clean, nice TV when I just wanted to chill, and they kept it clean. Laundry was delivered on time. About what I was looking for, but very poor internet access in the room (you have to sit in the lobby), but this has been true for every southern African hotel I've stayed in, so I'll set my expectations lower.

Central position but noisy street

+very well located, right in the center. You can reach by foot Waterfront and the Table Montain Cable station if you like to walk. The staff is nice. -very noisy in the evening until 4am, I sometimes felt that I was sleeping inside a club. No elevator to reach the reception that is located on the first floor. The breakfast is served in a coffee shop located two blocks from the hotel.

Cute hotel in a bustling area

I stayed for one night but it was a very comfortable stay. It's a small hotel on the first/2nd floor (so you have to walk up) but the rooms are beautifully designed and has a very homely feel. The huge bed and pillows are incredibly inviting. Smallish room, warm but there is an air-conditioner. The bathroom is spacious and the shower (with a wide powerful showerhead) is excellent. The best part is the staff. My very heavy bag was carried all the way up and the gentleman was very polite and kind. I had to check out at 3am and the lady was incredibly sweet, and was not groggy at all when I woke her up. She even carried my very heavy bag down the stairs with no complaints whatsoever. She waited till my taxi came. The staff could not have been more helpful. The location is an incredibly busy one, on the same road as the famous Mama Africa restaurant. There are plenty of bars and restaurants. Even at 3am on a Saturday night the streets were alive and looked like it was still 9pm. I would say it is a little unsafe but that's every place in South Africa at this hour. So if you like to party, this is the street for you. The management has obviously realised that the noise from the bars and restaurants can be a problem for guests at the hotel so they were in the process of installing some heavy duty triple glazed windows to keep the noise out. They even promised me a 100Zar refund because of the noise from the cconstruction! The windows will definitely help. Very comfortable

Fantastic location

Value for money, excellent food, friendly staff, sleep may be disrupted by the activities on Long Street

Long Street Hotel

I would recommend the Long Street Hotel to anyone staying in Cape Town, The hotel is located on long street and is within walking distance of a number of bars and restaurants. The hotel staff are welcoming and very friendly. The room was clean and well furnished, the bed was very comfortable! Be aware though it is noisy at night being on long street.

long street boutique hotel

Very much enjoyed our stay there! For the price the room is very quaint and charming, location is perfect for strolling,shopping, eating, catching a touring bus and a short cab ride to the arbour, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is superb although a few more choices on the menu would have been a bonus. I would highly recommend for the 20 to 50 age group although I am a little older lol I loved to people watch on their lovely wrap around porch! Thanks for a memorable visit to beautiful Cape Town

Voyeurs Only

We booked this hotel as last-minute alternative for our final 2 days in Capetown after our initial plans for accommodation fell through. Because we would be arriving after 9pm, we tried calling the hotel in advance to make sure they don't have a cut-off time for check-in, but we couldn't find a working number for the hotel ANYWHERE. The number on hotels.com and tripadvisor.com was not in service. 30 minutes of online searching we still couldn't find any way to contact the hotel. Eventually the hotels.com support line was able to confirm for us that we would be able to arrive late without issue. We checked in and the night time attendant showed us to our room, which was a small but nice room characteristic of a boutique hotel. It was extremely loud due to the bars and thin walls, but this is expected given the location. The dealbreaker for us was the large 10-ft windows overlooking Long Street and facing several multi-level bars directly across the street. Hundreds of barflies had a direct line of site into our bedroom and bathroom. The windows did not have any curtains at all either, though a make-shift 4ft divider with see-through material had been propped in front of the bathroom window. There were no other rooms available, and after some heckling with the attendant he relucatantly called the hotel manager, who agreed to give us a refund. Unfortunately, we still haven't received the refund and the hotel is now refusing to process the cancellation.

Hervorragend Lage.
