Its a perfect location for exploring the city and on a nice area. We had a room in the back, it was a little dark and small but ok. The bed coukd be better, should probably soon be changed. Breakfast is not in the house, but at a little place nearby. All in all we had some fine days here. ##### Tanja Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristie 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful place to stay! I loved my stay with Gordon! It was clean, safe, comfortable, and in a convenient location. What I liked most was it was a much more authentic experience than staying in a big hotel. This way, you experience local living, which is really cool. My room and bathroom were regularly cleaned and stocked and the price was quite reasonable. Plus, even though there were several other guests there, the layout of the house affords excellent privacy. I never saw anyone else and barely heard them either! Gordon is very friendly, kind, and always available for questions and recommendations. He even saved me an Uber ride by driving me to the cruise terminal himself when it was time for me to leave, which was so generous of him. I highly recommend his guesthouse! Thank you, Gordon! ##### Kristie Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eugene 6 Jan 2024 Disliked: Amenities No address given, no phone number to contact, just not again. ##### Eugene Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nadja 20 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recommendable private guesthouse. Gordons Guesthouse is centrally located uphill between the City Bowl and the Waterfront in a quiet area at the end of a closed road. Closeby we found nice restaurants in De Waterkant within walking distance. We stayed 5 nights in the double room in the ground floor, which had a very fine, new bathroom. The room was clean and quiet, and we were the only guests there. Gordon was renovating parts of the place when we arrived, but quickly cleared any building mess. As a host Gordon is helpful and drove us to the airport at no extra charge (also, he is very fond of smoothies). We received breakfast vouchers for a nearby restaurant and this was very good value. As far as private homestays go Gordons Guesthouse was good value, quiet and clean. Recommended. ##### Nadja ### 6/10 Okay #### johan 30 Oct 2023 On check in , my bathroom hadn’t been serviced at all. Brake marks in the toilet, hair in the wash basin, no shampoo or body lotion in the bathroom, virtually no toilet paper. Most disappointing and the worst possible welcome any guest can receive. ##### johan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Leonard 8 Feb 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well located but very poor accommodation On entry to the room it was clear that the owner lived in an open plan area adjoining the room and seems to share the bathroom. There was dirty bed linen soaking in the bath. The room was dirty and musty. We turned the aircon on to provide fresh air. We could not leave the door open because another room looks into the room we were allocated. Hotel.com should not have this on their books until the ensure the owner has passed and electrical inspection. The electrics tripped out overnight and there were no lights in the morning and no hot water. We checked out immediately and found another venue for the Cape Town Mining Indaba. ##### Leonard Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pius 10 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Zuerst hat uns Gordon die ersten 3 Nächte in ein Hotel geschickt. Überbucht. Das Deluxe Zimmer hat 9 m2 plus 2 m2 Dusche WC. Die Einrichtung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Vor allem die Bettwäsche. Am Schluss wollte er noch zusätzlich Fr. 75 für die drei Nächte im Hotel. Preis Leistung absolut nicht ok. ##### Pius Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jon 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Gordon var väldigt hjälpsam.
