The hotel came recommend by a friend. The location was great and the hotel was nice. Its near a lot of bars a couple of blocks away (on Long Street). Mix of crowd from leisure travelers to business travelers.

Great and friendly hotel staff, lovely views of table mountain from the restaurant. Delicious milkshakes, but the rest of the food was rather pricey. Loved the decor in the lifts.

Stayed for 3 nights in April on recommendation from a friend. Great, trendy hotel. The check in was really smooth and our rooms were very clean. Everything promised to be included was there...right down to the milkshake voucher! This hotel is really quirky and very different and is in a great spot just off Long Street. Good bar area which...

I specifically requested that crockery in the unit be minimum for 5 guests of my family (husband, self and 3 kids). There was a shortage of crockery and phoned to room service to correct which they duly did.... More

The Capetown Fire and Ice is a hip and trendy hotel. Centrally located in in the Gardens area, lots of places to visit close by like markets and museums. This hotel has everything you need without being too imposing. Rooms are very stylish and comfortable. I would definately stay there again.

This hotel had everything it needs to tick the boxes but somehow lacked a little bit of something. The decor is amazing and this contributes to a young, fun and funky vibe. The gym is very good for a city hotel, the breakfasts are delicious and the cocktail bar provides a good place for pre-dinner drinks. The hotel is a... More

This really is a lovely hotel if you are looking for convenience, great facilities & a fresh vibe to get you in the mood for going out. With their shark cage lift, and naked (almost) men plastered over the walls of the toilets it really is an experience staying here. Add that to undercover parking, lovely gym, heated pool, sun...

Have just come back from the Fire and Ice, after spending 11 lovely days in Cape Town, the hotel is still the same, humour is still needed when staying there, the majority of the staff are still there, and most do more than required to make your holiday special, the food is excellent and i would recommend the Jaws Burger,...
