I booked this hotel a few weeks in advance and prepaid by credit card. After a 30 hour flight I arrived at night to be told that there was a water leak in my room and they had no rooms available. Another clerk told me that they gave my room away to someone else. At 10:30 p.m. at night I... more

A friend recommended this hotel to us because of its design, boutique ambiance, good service and location (we went for a business meeting to Cape Town and also wanted to have great fun in the city). It was even better than what we expected! An all rounded hotel (luxurious, affordable, great staff, very friendly and well informed, a minute walk... more

Checked in to this cool hotel in Cape Town. Me and my friend only stayed 2 nights before we had to move on. It was kind of a cool interior both in lobby and the rooms where great! After check in we went to explore Cape Town and it is a great city with heaps of attractions to see. During... more

From the outset it was disappointing - in stark contrast to the warm welcome we'd received everywhere else on our trip the staff here were cold and bordering on surly at times. Any time we asked for their assistance with... more

The Metropole is a nice boutique hotel in a great downtown location. Stayed here 4 nights and the rooms were clean and modern. The restaurant and bar were also a great place to relax and dine. The hotel is located near the tourist imformation office and the Greenmarket Square, which made it convenient for my stay. more

Great service, good food and fashionably chic bedrooms. Perfect city centre location complete with trendy bar and restaurant - you wont need to leave the building! The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and to help make our stay enjoyable. more

Wow, I was very impressed with the Metropole hotel. It is a trendy boutique hotel that appears newly renovated and is centrally located on Long St. in downtown Cape Town. We got a Superior room, which was a spacious corner room with a very welcoming feel to it. It had a comfortable king bed with a nice white down comforter.... more

As other reviewers have noted, this hotel is very funky looking. The restoration and design is very nice indeed, in the lobby, rooms and cafe, restaurant and bar. However, this is a hotel where appearance is not matched by substance. I had so many problems here I doubt I will ever stay again, despite regularly visiting Capetown, which is one... more

I had a wonderful in this small funky beautiful hotel. Right from the start the colours captivated me (there is some obvious thought behind the strong colours of the bar and the cafe, in contrast with the calm combinations used in the restaurant and the rooms). The staff is well informed, helpful and friendly. It was nice to be in... more
