The Grey Hotel

An EXTRAORDINARY Cape Town experience in this charming, unique and perfectly located boutique hotel. Firstly, the staff are incomparable. Friendly and so helpful. The manager of this establishment goes way beyond the call of duty with such friendly and helpful style. Grateful!! Secondly, the hotel itself has a unique first class experience with comfortable rooms and an amazing rooftop. Charm and comfort.!! Finally, the location is in an historical urban mixed commercial/ residential area only minutes walk to so many venues and easy easy access to the fantastic V&A. Restaurants, shopping, cafés, and galleries all at your fingertips. Colorful & Beautiful. I’m a world traveller who just can’t say enough about this wonderful experience. Don’t forget to book Robben Island/ the Castle Museum and the Wine trolley. Thank you Grey Hotel. Photos of the area included.

This is a 'boutique hotel' in the middle of things off Somerset Road. It has a Moroccan flavour with tight staircases and flamboyant Morooccan tiles, everywhere. Like most of the buildings in the area you feel slightly hemmed in, but the hotel is finished to a high standard, was very clean and the bed was huge. Shower was amazing. What was really fantastic was the pool bar on top of the roof. Where you could swim and have tasty snacks and order cocktails. Later we went down to the piano bar which was cosy and fun. Although the pianist was a bit too hectic for our liking.

Great location which is safe with a wonderful view. The service is great with fried ly faces and a will to satisfy the customers needs. Very clean and worth your money!

Honestly, everything was pretty much perfect, truly. But, the staff wins the show for The Grey hotel. We stayed for a week, and we were so looked after with warmth and friendliness, it was hard to leave the wonderful people we spent the week with. My husband and I worked remote for a week. TIP: If you do this, consider getting a room with the private balcony, you get a desk in there and it's easy to have private video calls for work, your all plugged in. Our room was super comfortable, great hair dryer (if it's important to you, this is a small bonus). Lot's of places to plug in to charge phones, laptops. The location is amazing, you are surrounded by wonderful restaurants with in a minute or two of walking, walking distance to the V&A, you can run (I felt safe, although perhaps it was naive, but I ran to the V&A then to the boardwalk in Seapoint so it's a great location if your a runner as well. Ubers were plentiful. There is also a small shopping mall with several coffee places, a grocery store, a place to buy a SIM if you need it, an ATM. There is even a very small pool on the roof, and as small as it is, I annoyed the staff by swimming back and forth for 45 minutes but I still got a wee swim in which was great. We had coffee in the reception every-morning and the gentlemen serving breakfast and coffee were a joy to spend the morning with. The neighborhood itself is sweet, on the edge of Bo Kaap, it does house many expensive houses that carry the colors of Bo Kaap but are homes to wealthy people so, it's feels safer (although, always be aware). If I were to return, with out a doubt, I'd stay here over and over again.

Its location is in a safe area that has a number of outings at night close by. It is only 15 m away from the V&A. It is very clean and the rooms are very trendy. The parking outside has a free spot most of the time and it is free from 5 pm onwards till 8 am next day.
