I spent 3 nights here recently on a business trip, and was very comfortable. The staff are very friendly - the rooms comfortable - and the breakfasts substantial. Little touches like an early morning coffee station for early departures make all the difference. Wi Fi only free for one hour - would have been great to have free wi fi when the majority of the guests are there on business.

A gym with a splash pool is also available.

Room tip: Rooms facing the mountain are quieter.

I've stayed at the City Lodge quite a few times now and all in all, compared with other hotels, it is.... ok+.

Clean rooms and friendly staff, as well as a very diverse breakfast buffet makes it a recurring choice for our accommodation needs when we stay in Cape Town. Also, the location is fantastic in terms of getting to interesting sites in Cape Town by foot.

What pulls the rating down to "only" 3 stars is the ridiculosly limited access to the internet. You get ONE free hour per day and any additional time after that you pay for. Seriously?? Have you not discovered what "keeping up with competition" means? The very first thing most guests check out when arriving in a hotel or guest house is the WiFi so this becomes more and more important for any accommodation business to offer their clients. More often than not the WiFi is free of charge wherever we stay so City Lodge is actually a little bit behind.

Please make a note of that.

Room tip: All the rooms seem to be identical as far as I know.

Thank you for the constructive review. We're pleased you enjoyed many aspects of your stay including our breakfast options, and the fact that you found our staff friendly and the rooms clean. With regards to the WiFi, we're constantly working on upgrading this service for our guests - we recently partnered with MTN to improve this offering and hope to have this up and running in early 2015.

I has to shoot down to Cape Town on the 6th November for some business, it was at short notice. All the usual places I stay were either fully booked or were just ridiculously priced. The City Lodge was fine for the one night I stayed there, the staff is friendly and the rooms and functional with a good variety of TV channels.

2 things which bothered me were at on Agoda the Hotel was listed as having room service and free internet. The room service is Mr Delivery which you phone and come 1 hour later with your food. The free internet is 60 minutes complimentary wifi. I do not blame City Lodge, I blame Agoda on that one.

The gym is functional, which I was happy about and provides what you need on a short trip.

I would not recommend this hotel to families or travellers seeking a little more luxury, but for business or a one night trip up to Cape Town it is perfect. Just remember where ever you want to go, you will need to either drive or get a taxi. You can walk, but it will be a long walk.

Great position, friendly staff, clean rooms. Small gym and pool. At entrance to V&A Waterfront. Good buffet breakfast. Even room numbers face the road, uneven to the back, which may impact your sleep quality. I prefer the rooms facing away from the street.n

Room tip: Rooms facing the entrance to the V&A could be noisy.

If you want to stay in a safe neighborhood in Cape Town without spending too much money but also stay in a very good hotel with good service, look no further, City Lodge is a good choice as it's in V&A district of Cape Town and the room and amenities are great.
