Marija from split-hotels.info
We had a fantastic stay and the hotel exceeded our expectations. The room was incredibly clean and spacious, with high-quality linen and towels. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a fridge to store food or wine. The location in a nice residential area was perfect, with easy access to good restaurants and pubs just down the streets. The staff, especially Sabine and Rod, were extremely helpful and provided great guidance throughout our stay.
For us, it was ideal.

The Cape Colonial Guest House is located in a fantastic residential area in the heart of Gardens. Its location provides easy access to the close restaurants and pubs down the streets. The hotel facilities are clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. The staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience. Additionally, the parking area is conveniently located right outside the hotel.
Not obvious to find.

We had the most amazing stay at this guesthouse in Gardens. The location was perfect, as we were close to the best restaurants on Kloof street and just a short distance from the city center. The area felt safe and we could easily walk to nearby restaurants at night. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean and had great facilities. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast, with fresh coffee and homemade banana bread and muffins. The staff, especially the owner Sabine, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. She took the time to give us recommendations on things to see and do in the area and made us feel right at home. The personal service was outstanding and we can't wait to visit again.
Nothing to fault.
