Thanks for the wide range of choices Aileen. I go frugal and love hostels and the people I meet at them. And they look amazing in Cape Town.
very helpful!
We stayed at the Cape Grace last month. The hotel was nice. But what made it for us was the staff. Everyone on the staff was superb. I think maybe the best hotel staff experience we’ve had. From the doormen to the waiters and bar tenders to housekeepers. Everyone acted as if they were family.
