Don’t expect flash. Do expect wonderfully friendly staff and eclectic feel. We were scammed by the airport taxi so be aware to get a taxi taxi. Not people who say they are. The receptionist staff were very helpful with this towards our credit card. Especially Azola. Breakfast was great too. Thank you. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mari 28 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super location and a lovely hotel The hotel and the staff were amazing, so cool interior in an old foundry!

I will definitely come back again. ##### Larisa Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Estee 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were incredible and honestly made me feel so welcome. Considering the price, i was a little disappointed, the room had a really bad smell and there was mould growing in the bathroom (particularly on the ceiling and around extractor fan) which was concerning. The location is awesome! Overall a lovely property but the room may need a little TLC. ##### Estee Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Khurram 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location, staff and price. ##### Khurram Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prerna 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The most beautiful room/hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

The staff were helpful and everything was so clean. ##### Prerna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eva 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask). ##### Eva Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent place to stay as a gateway to the waterfront. Lovely spacious room. Extremely friendly staff. It took us 10 minutes to walk to the waterfront and it was safe. ##### Dave ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 11 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love the repurposing of old buildings, and The Old Foundry has done this with great practical and aesthetic execution. The room was small, but we knew this when we booked. It had all the amenities we needed, including Africology products in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, helpful and responsive to every need. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location/value for money Staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is shared with hot office spaces so different from what you may be used to, but not to the detriment of our stay. Just a little quirky. Good location within walking distance of V&A waterfront although recommended to travel by uber / taxi after dark. Overall a good base for our weeks stay and good value compared to other hotels we had looked at. Lots of security personnel around the area which may make you feel nervous or reassured. We felt quite safe from our experience. ##### Chris Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and quiet property in old warehouse section close to V&A waterfront area. Not a great view out the front but this place has character and not your average modern hotel layout but shabby chic with a bit of funk. Great breakfasts and Giorgio restaurant downstairs in courtyard for dinner. Reasonably priced for location! ##### Rodney Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney 31 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities In an old warehouse area, completely renovated and close walk to waterfront. Rooms are clean comfortable large and nicely decorated with stylish old furniture. Bathrooms and showers and modern and great! Not a great view from the front but that’s ok! ##### Rodney Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melene 20 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoyed the daily breakfast and walking to the V&A only took 10-15 minutes so very convenient. Hotel was clean and spacious. One thing to mention was you can hear water pipes when showering which did not bother us one bit. ##### Melene Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 15 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Modern but quaint. Exceptional service. Comfortable, clean and convenient! ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ruth 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff at check out where great. Yet they had me up stairs after confirming with them for 3 months that I will not be set up in a room that required me to climb steps. They change me to another room but the room was not what I thought I was going to have at the end. The bathroom was small and I had to crawl to the shower since it was not accessible. It was a hard stay for me. ##### Ruth Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen 15 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hotel and staff Good location , but not great 15 min walk to VandA Told not to do it at night even if only 15mins! Apart from that good hotel The bed in room 2 is horrendous with the mattress needing changed many years ago. We moved room which was good Good breakfast and parking A few shops just around the corner and also a15 min walk to City Centre ##### Stephen Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Rene 16 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What an awesome hotel! This place was quite the pleasant surprise! Nestled just on the edge of the wharf district, the Old Foundry hotel was clean and welcoming with just a touch of a modern, yet 1930’s feel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the walk-in rain shower was amazing. But the best part of this hotel is the staff and the cafe. The staff waited on us hand and foot, and even remembered our breakfast orders from the previous days. Anything we needed and they were on top of it immediately. As for the cafe, the food was incredible. We were especially fans of the French toast and the BLT, both of which were probably the best we’ve ever had. You won’t regret picking the place. A quick 10 minute walk to the water front, or about $4 USD Uber ride. ##### Jamie Rene Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lottie 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I recently stayed at this hotel and it wasn’t what I expected. It felt more like an office with more desks than bedrooms, and the constant sound of keyboards gave it an Apple-sponsored vibe. The lack of a proper restaurant (only a coffee shop) was a letdown, especially for a special occasion like my boyfriend’s 50th birthday, as it wasn’t romantic at all. The location was also a downside, with a homeless camp across the street, and the gates being locked at night caused some confusion with our Uber driver. Our room (Room 2) had thin walls, a weird glass partition separating the bathroom, and no blinds, so we had to use the reception area bathroom for privacy. The lighting was poor, and the apartment across the street made it impossible to open the curtains. On the bright side, the staff were lovely, particularly the friendly receptionist and a fantastic deaf waiter at breakfast. The chai latte I had was also the best I’ve ever tasted. Overall, while the staff were great, the hotel’s lack of privacy, awkward layout, and office-like atmosphere made it feel more like a work trip than a relaxing getaway. ##### Lottie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good location, nice breakfast, a bit odd layout This hotel is in a nice location, close to the V&A Waterfront but also not far from downtown. The hotel has a very eccentric layout; there are floors, half-floors, quarter-floors etc. with steps between them. Also, the rooms are a bit eccentric: there is no room light switch near the bed, only by the door. The breakfast is not buffet-style; you pick one main dish and one beverage. The breakfast quality is quite good. There's a busy atmosphere, with people working on their laptops everywhere. A disadvantage was that my room faced onto a very busy one-lane street, where activity ended after midnight and started (garbage collection and deliveries) very early the next morning. For security reasons, the front of the hotel is barricaded from late evening to morning, so you have to enter from the street behind and go through an office building. (My morning departing Uber was confused.) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgine 7 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I lived in the Old Foundry Hotel the second time for ten days. It was an unforgettable time. Thank you so much. For your caring, your respect and your empathy. You are all an incredible team. Every one of you make a difference. I hope I’ll see you next year. ##### Georgine Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Archie 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and modern, reception were exceptionally nice and caring ##### Archie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Village.h889520.Hotel-Information) > > [Babylonstoren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Babylonstoren.h5030791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > > [River Manor Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-River-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h485182.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Marriott-Hotel-Crystal-Towers.h2774348.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Camps Bay Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Camps-Bay-Retreat.h1100401.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tintswalo Boulders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Tintswalo-At-Boulders-Boutique-Villa.h31526122.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marly Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Marly-Hotel.h6885966.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawhill Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lawhill-Luxury-Apartments.h4280116.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Ritz-Cape-Town.h520317.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Beachfront Apartments At Leisure Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Beachfront-Apartments-At-Leisure-Bay.h1909894.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information) ---
