The only nice thing I can say about this hotel is that the rooms in the new 'Green Annexe' section are very nice, and that it is very conveniently situated within Cape Town - but everything else about this hotel is terrible. Instead of harping on, here's a list: - The aircon in my room did not work and it... More

We only stayed two nights and found it nice and clean and the service was nice and friendly. There is a nice cosy bar down stairs and a resturant which we ate at, and the meals were nice. Bedrooms were fine. Nice and spacious. Breakfast was good. Not the easiest place to find as it is right in the city... More

At first glance this hotel appears to be a reasonable mid-level choice. Location near the International Convention Centre is fine. Breakfast is good. Beds are comfortable. I understand there is a newer, renovated wing which is fine, but in the larger section it just failed as a hotel. Things just didn't work - shower didn't drain, and worst most mornings... More

I stayed in the annexe of the hotel. A beautifull room. There was a lift to the floors.Restaurant was well stocked for meals and service good. Central to downtown and waterfront.

This hotel is ideal for the centre of Cape town, very easy to walk to the V & A Waterfront and easy road access. It is a standard city centre hotel, the staff however, where fabulous.

Hollow On The Square is a decent and safe hotel. Good location, near the citycentre and conference halls. A short taxi ride to the Waterfront. Rooms are spacious, beds are good, showers are just fine. Parking space available. No free internet. Breakfast is above average. Nothing memorable, just fine.
