Pool usually hired out to private parties. One of the bar staff at the pool, when available, the english guy, was friendly. The South African guy was surly. Some bizarre staff- the staff member from China complained about his working conditions and the breakfast was very average. The room was nice but as usual with the waterkant village, paid Internet...

DO NOT STAY HERE! The Village Lodge is a disaster... I first stayed at the Village Lodge in 2010, and had a very positive experience. So when I went to book again for December 2012 and saw lots of negative reviews on TripAdvisor.com, I was surprised and thought that maybe reviewers were just being picky. I booked two rooms -...

I stayed at the Village lodge for 3 nights on a business trip. The windows are not insulated very well so you can hear every little noise coming from the street. After the first night I asked to be moved to a quiter room, and was moved to a much smaller room. What bothered me about this, is that my... More

Stayed in one of the apartments for two months. The staff was very accomodating and helpful. The location is perfect- lots of cafes and restaurants within a block or two, a 15 minute walk to the waterfront or downtown. Easy access to Lion's Head, etc. Great price. Great place if you are looking for nice accommodations with a smaller, neighborhood... More

First off, be aware that facility names in the De Waterkant area are very confusing. Our taxi driver insisted on dropping us at the Waterkant Village Lodge on Loader Street, which is not the same as the Village Lodge on Napier Street--where we ultimately wheeled our luggage and stayed for a week. There was some confusion with double-booking in their... More

This place really needs some refurbishment. Free internet didn't work,but hotspot in the neighbourhood, 50R for one week per 300MB. Many young people, so be prepared for some noise. But for a price of 750R per room per night in Cape Town you can't expect more I think. Location is very good. In the waterkant area you find a lot... More

We arrived with a large group to find that the pool and roof top bar were closed for a refurb ie the two communal areas that we wanted as a group! They made no effort to contact us and warn us in advance which would have been appreciated. We decided to move on to another hotel and over a week... More

Take care of this hotel. Three days afeter leaving it, they charge $413 on my credit card. When I send an email, they say it was due the curtain I stole from their room. They are dishonest. Take care
