Stayed a 2 weeks before our last visit at the hotel and that was okay. This time there was a Tiny room at the back with 2 high windows, so no view. Bathroom sliding kept falling out. Sheets had terrible dity marks on it. Ordered a drink at the bar but there was no ice! Eventually had to buy our... More

This hotel is a gem in the centre of Cape Town. Great for travellers on a budget that want to be close to everything. The reception and bar are funky and the rooms are bright and clean. The breakfast is good and the bar is open for a drink and quick bite until quite late if you don't want to... More

The room on the 7th floor was clean and the decor pleasant enough, though the open plan bedroom/bath/toilet was a tad disconcerting! The lack of burglar bars on the street-facing windows means the rooms are not toddler friendly. I was irritated that I was not asked if I was ok with using the same white bedding for the whole week,... More

First time in South Africa, hotel location was central to many restaurants, markets and historical landmarks. Clean and comfortable, extremely friendly staff that made me feel right at home. Availability to assist with concern or recommendations. Definitely worth the price if you are on a budget and won't to use your money for tours, food and other things.

Our stay at Cape Diamond was short but sweet. The rooms were fairly Big, Clean and Comfortable.staff were willing to go the extra mile and to make sure that our stay was great. The receptionist Nicole was beyond amazing, always smiling and made us forget that we were even away from home.

We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of this hotel. All the staff went out of their way to be helpful and make our stay pleasant. The location is great-all city attractions are within walking distance or a hop on-hop-off bus ride away. The breakfast buffet was superb and the room basic, but stylish and very... More

Central location is the best feature along with the cheap price on booking.com. Our double room on the 7th floor was tidy spacious enough with basic furnishings and a bath, no shower. There is a jacuzzi on the roof but it was out of order. Car parking across the road was a nightmare, with the hotel charging R100 per day.... More
