The property is very clean and has a very friendly staff. The hotel is quiet. The breakfast was delicious. They made fresh eggs for me and served it was bacon and mushrooms. There is a buffet of fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, breads, coffee machine, & teas. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach promenade. I would stay here again.

This place is in a great location for the waterfront, the V&A and easily walkable to those areas. We also walked about an hour to Clifton Beach from here. It’s an independent hotel with delightful staff who make your stay feel like a home away from home, the honesty bar was a particularly nice touch.

Facilities are very nice. Liked the honor bar. Breakfast was decent. Room was a bit small though and I recommend paying for a better room that does not face the inner courtyard.

Really lovely & in a nice area. The hotel was clean & exactly as pictured. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The room was a little small, but for the price & location, you can't beat it. I would say the only thing to note is that the stairs are very steep if travelling with large bags. But, the front desk staff did help me carry my bags all the way up. I'd stay here again. All in all, a very easy, straightforward place to stay in Cape Town.

It is a lovely little inn in a great location. Everything was great and very clean and quiet. What distinguishes HSL is the staff. They are so helpful, smiling always and kinda. A very special shout out to Jasper. He made our stay 10 times better, and it was already lovely. Lovely fresh breakfast! Thank you Jeff too for being so accommodating. We hope to stay again.
