Number5 Guesthouse was a great accomodation in cape town. We felt save and comfortable. Sylvie and Sandra took care of us and had answers to all our questions. The rooms and the whole accomodation were very clean and the breakfast was simple but very good. Sandra had a self made surprise ( banana muffins, crepes,...)
every day :)
What you should know is that the bathroom has not a separating door.

What stole the show for us, was the personal attention of Sylvie, Tom and Sandra. They really helped us make our time in CT amazing. Wonderful tips, such as the streetart tour in Salt River and catching a movie at The Labia Theater. Sylvie really knows the city and recommended activities that really suited us. Big shout out. Also the location is great and the bed was amazing. Aanrader!
Nothing.

Sylvie and Tom were truly exceptional hosts. They were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were readily available to answer any questions, provide recommendations, and offer assistance whenever needed. Their genuine care for their guests made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The attention to detail in the room decor was evident, creating an ambiance that was both stylish and comfortable. The excellent showerhot water, great water pressure were refreshing after a day of exploring the city.
The breakfast was a delight. The pancakes were a particular favorite. It was the perfect way to start the day before venturing out to explore Cape Town.
Parking was available in the street near the guesthouse, and we had no trouble finding a spot during our stay. The neighborhood felt safe and secure, with its proximity to bars and restaurants adding to the convenience and enjoyment of our visit. We felt comfortable walking around, both during the day and in the evening.
One tip we received from Sylvie was to use Uber in Cape Town. This turned out to be a fantastic recommendation, as it made getting around the city hassle-free and convenient. It saved us time and ensured that we could explore the various attractions without worrying about transportation logistics.
We highly recommend Number 5 Guesthouse to anyone visiting Cape Town and looking for a wonderful place to stay.

We spent our first days in South Africa at Number5 Guesthouse and we really enjoyed our stay - so we came back for the last few days at the end of our trip. First of all Sylvie and the rest of the team do a really good job. Thanks again for having us! Our Room was very clean and comfy, breakfast was tasty, central location and quiet area at the same time.

This is a welcoming little guesthouse on a pretty street in Gardens, with Table Mountain looming over it in the background. The single room was comfortable. The toilet and shower are right in the room, in individual nooks with accordion pocket doors should you need to close them. The breakfast was fresh and tasty, with crepes, fresh bread, and freshly squeezed orange juice. It was easy cheap to Uber around the area and Sylvie and the rest of the staff were fantastic and very helpful.
It got pretty hot in the middle of the night when electric load shedding occurred, but that is the governments fault, not the fault of the guest house.

Breakfast was light and a lovely way to start the workday. Restaurants and grocer are walking distance from the guest house. Safety to walk. Easy to catch an Uber. Quite and peaceful stay
Wifi connection was unstable, so it was difficult to work in the bedrooms. shower space is quite small. TV did not have any channels to watch- it only had adverts. no Airconditioning, however there is a ceiling fan

The staff were wonderful and super helpful with recommendations. Breakfast was great and there was a good variety, comfy room and nice communal areas for relaxing
The only downside was the window for our room was facing a road which wasnt too busy but it was a little noisy when vehicles went past at speed
