The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Air conditioners worked very well, would be handy in hot summer days. Lots of towels and products in the bathroom. High quality pillows and linen. Staff helped to iron one of my shirts for a small fee. I would have given it only 8 or 9 out of 10 stars because of some noise in the room (which is expected given the central location), but because the staff outperformed I am giving it 10/10! There is also 24/7 security at night that open and close the entrance doors, so its very safe.
Can be noisy at night given very central location

It is a beautiful heritage building with the most beautiful wide plank wood floors. Our room was lovely and the customer service is excellent. I needed a medicul consultation. The hotel arranged one for us and a very competent and leasant doctor arrived at our hotel room within 35 minutes. The air conditioning works well and the hotel supplies ear plugs for rooms facing Bree Street.
The only issue is the water in our room takes a long time to heat up - allow extra time!

This hotel is ideally located in a central, historic district of Cape Town, and the staff and facilities are wonderful. The concierges were exceedingly helpful, pleasant, and always eager to be of service. We loved eating breakfast in the lovely art-filled dining room, with the full spread of juices, breads, cheeses and coffee. Our rooms were so comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and downy beds. The little library at the front is a delight. What a great travel experience, we loved our time at Cape Heritage Hotel!

Lovely accommodation in a great location. Incredible, warm, gracious, helpful, professional staff. We stayed here 3 times, once in an apartment and twice in the hotel rooms.
Depending where your room is located, you might be disturbed by street noise

The staff were friendly and it was value for money
Our rooms didn't have any window or the window couln't be opened as it was facing the internal staircase. Also the room was too close to the passageway so we felt it was loud and noisy and didn't have any privacy

We loved staying at Cape Heritage Hotel. Centrally located in a historic square, the building and rooms are beautiful. The downy beds are soft and comfortable, and the bath and shower feel luxurious. The staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful during our stay. We also loved breakfast each morning surrounded by the colorful art on the walls and hallways!

What a spectacular experience here. The staff are UNBELIEVABLY GREAT. Unfailingly helpful, and above and beyond. Breakfast was fabulous every day. Fun location, walkable to Bo Kaap neighborhood, the Cape Hope Castle, and the AMAZING Marco's African Restaurant. What a super place, recommended (again) by the amazing staff. Not only was the food spectacular, the live music knocked my socks off. The bed was so comfortable, I tried to remove the bedding to see if I could buy it for my home. I'm not kidding. Room had a cozy robe and slippers to use, which were awesome. Bathroom was well appointed and supplied with toiletries. Everything was scrupulously clean. I heard some people in reviews complaining about noise of revelers, but I didn't have this issue, as my room faced the interior. The compromise was no view out of the window, but was well worth it to be able to sleep as that was all I wanted to use the room for! I stayed for 4 nights, and loved it. Can't recommend more highly.
I know it's Winter, but it would have been lovely to be able to sit in the hot tub in the evenings, which wasn't an option. I was a little surprised, only because I would assume the idea would have been MORE attractive when the evenings are chilly than when it's hot out, but this was a TRULY MINOR issue, and I would not hesitate to stay here again on my next trip to Cape Town.

The hotel (and staff) had a lot of personality - it was both interesting and comfortable. While in an older building, the rooms were large and the bed comfortable. For the winter the claw footed tub (in addition to the modern shower) was a real treat. There was some local noise on First Thursday but it was lively - and the galleries interesting. We always were welcomed with a genuine smile and can highly recommend this historic place for a stay in Cape Town.

It was quaint, and well decorated
Every night we heard a base (from music) and it went on through at least not kidding, 5am. Maybe a change of pillows as my neck hurt

Top notch all around. I had a wonderful experience the Cape Heritage Hotel. The staff was amazing; the room was quite comfortable (and very homey); the breakfast was fantastic. Great location. I thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town!

It’s a charming historic hotel with beautiful rooms. The cool art displayed throughout the hotel adds a great deal of interest. Our room was their “honeymoon suite” and had the most awesome elegant bathroom we’ve ever seen with a huge claw foot tub and a double shower. It was huge with a divan, double vanities and an art deco feel to the whole room. The bed was super comfortable as were their pillows. The breakfast is excellent with both a cold buffet and an à la carte menu of well chosen hot options. The staff are to a person very welcoming, helpful, and made our stay so pleasant! The location was perfect for us. There are so many great restaurants steps away. There can be loud traffic at night, but earplugs helped me and my husband wasn’t bothered by it. It’s a great character hotel!

The Cape Heritage may be my favorite hotel on Earth! I first stayed here when traveling to Cape Town for a conference with my father in 2006. We had such a wonderful stay that I decided to book again when my goddaughter and I were returning for vacation this year. I was excited but also a bit nervous after returning to a hotel after twenty years, one never knows how the experience will be after such a long gap. Thankfully, the Cape Heritage is like a fine wine and it has only improved with time! First and foremost, the staff are lovely … Sam, Muizz, Wadya, Bamford, and the others are less like hotel staff and more like family! They made every moment of our stay wonderful and we are so grateful for their time and care. They helped us so much with getting familiar with the city and really made us feel special. Beyond five stars! The breakfasts are an other highlight at the Cape Heritage, simply above and beyond in terms of quality and selection. Lekker! The rooms are exquisite, the property itself is historic and charming. The location is perfect for any Cape Town stay. In short, we simply cannot say enough about how much we love the Cape Heritage Hotel. I hope the whole team will all be there when we return next time, and we definitely won’t be waiting another twenty years!
We liked absolutely everything.

Gorgeously decorated rooms! Very spacious room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and pillows. The staff was very friendly. They greet you at the door and handle everything from there. Location is good, walking distance to plenty of restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions. Generally safe area during the day, but check in with the staff to be sure.
The hotel is in the city center on lively streets and there is some noise during the night. They are very clear about that, so it was no surprise. Nothing earplugs didn't take care of.

The place was lovely with a good downtown location with easy access to red bus tours and nearby restaurants. Breakfast was very good and reasonable priced. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The loud music playing nearby until very late into the night and even after midnight was annoying and kept us from sleeping.
