The location of Signal Hill Lodge only one kilometre from center of Cape Town is very nice!! If you want to climb up to the lodge from the center - it is not easiest job but luckily you can use also taxi. People in hotel are very friendly and helpful.

My family and I stayed for a week in June. It is spotlessly clean. The rooms are large with balconies overlooking the city, with stunning views. Breakfast was full English or any part of it. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, danish pastries, bread jam, cereal, fruit juice. The Staff are friendly and helpful. The are is quiet and not a sole about at night. It was very good value. I would recommend to anyone travelling to Cape Town

Signal hill lodge was great. The only downside is that it is not practical to walk to any place with food or shops from this location. I did not have a car so I ended up using Uber everyday.

The hotel has a beautiful location at the base of Signal Hill with lovely views across the city. It is still quite accessible and walkable to downtown attractions (I was working at the International Convention Centre and could make the walk in 30-40 minutes). The surrounding area is quiet and I felt quite safe walking during the day. The staff are all lovely and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. I have no complaints about the room (not honeymoon standard perhaps but perfectly adequate for business or vacation travel). My only issue was that they must get the lower gate buzzer fixed so guests are not stranded outside!

Everything was great overall. Only thing I'd say was the breakfast was odd and probably not worth it. They didn't have or offer any water. They also gave me the cheapest sandwich white bread and told me to toast it lol.

I don't like the glass toilet door that doesn't fully shut. Would be nice if I had a microwave too. The a/c is positioned to blow mostly to the head area by the bed, it's not to my liking. The room feels small. If a phone and microwave are present the next time, I'll give it a 5. An extra blanket was present, very much a necessity in winter. The parking situation can be a challenge if there are more cars but they do their best to accommodate all cars. I like that the room has a carpet. First day I got bottled water, that's excellent. The kettle and teas were available in the room. Points on the smart tv but I guess you need your own logins for services like Netflix. Beautiful garden! Stay there for the view of the city, it's one of the best! The staff are friendly and understanding even after I inconvenienced them on something that was entirely my fault.
