Apart from helpful service with a smile and decent breakfast, dont expect too much.. Hotel itself is rundown and a bit shabby. Pool area and gym arent actually inviting and the hotels corridors remind you of an old hospital. Rooms are quite noisy both to the corridor and the mainroad going beside the hotel. Room doors are flimsy and dont... More

It is in the heart of downtown Cape Town right next to the long range bus Central. Was disappointed with the fact that they do not charge to the credit card. The apartments have a decent size and are equipped with a kitchen in case you'd rather cook than going to eat out everyday which can blow your vacation's budget.... More

I stayed in the hotel part, obviously this is not an upmarket place, but it makes an effort. Unfortunately its just not enough! The rooms are a decent size but carpets are worn. The furniture has seen better days. They did have tea and coffee making facilities, which is always a plus in my book. Bed was comfortable enough, and... More

For our 2 night stay. We booked a family apartment , with two seperate bedrooms, with 2 bathrooms for 3 adults to share while traveling together. A neat/cute factor was the entry for each bathroom was concealed .... you entered by opening central wardrobe doors to reach a large spacious well appointed bathroom off each bedroom. The kitchen had a... More

bad section- 4 star hotel???? Not likely. 2.5 to 3 star I would say. Room was old and worn but the thing that got me was the shocking quality of the room. Tiles in bathroom poorly laid with obvious cut holes in them, kitchen of very low quality. The couch was probably the cheapest they could find....ill stop now as... More

After deciding to holiday in Cape Town, I searched for hotels which were conveniently located within the CBD of Cape Town, and was very surprised with the reviews and prices of this hotel. There were sites even classing the hotel as a 3 / 4 star hotel. I proceeded to check their own website only to find that the room... More

Visiting Cape Town for the first time found this hotel very central for all our needs. We used the red tourist bus for 2 days and found this a great way to see some parts of Cape Town. The train station is just a few minutes walk away and very reasonably priced infact very cheap to be honest ask about... More

We spent 6 nights at the Fountains Hotel. Our 9th floor room was actually an apartment with a full-size fully-equipped kitchen and a view of Table Mountain. Since many restaurants were closed over the New Year's holiday, we used our kitchen to prepare food we purchased at a nearby grocery store a couple of times. The central location is very... More
