We were booked for three nights, honestly the overall impression wasn’t good except for the breakfast- and reception staff’s friendliness. Upon check in we realised that there was a miscommunication about parking and we had to park on the street. Night one I discovered hairs on my cushions and bed. The shower was leaking and the toilet roll holder broke off. Day 2 and 3 it was still laying where I left it. Coffee and toiletpaper does not get replaced and overall the housekeeping really isn’t good. Thank you Yanga and the rest of the breakfast team for the delicious breakfast every morning though!

Good Morning lojandieb, We trust you are well. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Parliament Hotel. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced concerning the parking and housekeeping services. As mentioned in our previous email correspondence, we do offer limited secure parking bays, and unfortunately, we did not receive confirmation regarding your parking needs prior to your arrival. Regrettably, upon your check-in, all parking bays were already fully booked. Regarding the housekeeping issue, we were unaware of any concerns during your stay as they were not reported to our reception team. However, upon cleaning the room the following morning, our housekeeping staff did notice the broken toilet holder and promptly reported it. Our maintenance team addressed the issue immediately to ensure it was rectified. We have also discussed the cleanliness of the room with the relevant managers, who will take necessary steps to prevent such occurrences in the future. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continuously strive to deliver the highest standards of hospitality to our guests. Should you have any further concerns or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Management Parliament Hotel

The rooms are very good and clean. Nazeem and the friendly staff were always available for any question. We were well received and enjoyed the accommodation. Also, the hotel is close to the Citysightseeing bus station/office so we could walk to catch the red bus.

Other than not getting the room of my choice, staff were friendly and helpful. It was generally quiet, apart from the "regular" early morning activity down the street. Good breakfast. Central location.

The Parliament Hotel was quite an experience. I came with a last-minute guest, and my room was more than enough to accommodate us both. Everyone was a pleasure to engage with, and I won't forget them in a hurry. Breakfast was always impressive, with a quick turnaround time. If you're clueless as to where to go regarding Cape Town tours, the staff is more than ready to give you some solid options (and even dinner restaurant options too!). All in all, I know for sure, I'll be back!

What a delight! Freda the lady who was on duty when I arrived really went out of her way to help me. Safe parking connected to the building. I had a delicious meal at the Italian resturant just next door. Fortunately I went early as they were fully booked from 8pm.
