What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Modern

I loved the spacious room we stayed in at the Hippo Boutique Hotel. It had a modern design with comfortable furniture, and included a fridge and a flat-screen TV with cable. It made our stay very enjoyable and felt like a home away from home.

Great Breakfast Options

One of my favorite things about the hotel was the complimentary continental breakfast served at 'Mano a Mano.' The variety and quality were fantastic, which was a great way to start our mornings!

Secure Off-Street Parking

As we drove to Cape Town, the secure off-street parking was a major plus for us. It gave us peace of mind knowing our vehicle was safe while we explored the city.
