We had the mountain and city view room and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone visiting Cape Town. The balcony was perfect for some relaxed mornings or evenings and it felt like you were really on holiday without having to leave the apartment. Staff were also fantastic and friendly 10 day stay.

She organised my transfer from/to the airport and was very responsive to emails. She was very welcoming and super friendly and left some milk/coffee/muffins and fruit ready for breakfast the next day. The room itself was amazing. Being at the top of a hill, the view of the city and table mountain was spectacular. The room had all needed amenities including free wifi, TV, bathtub and shower, kitchenette, balcony etc. The bed was also very comfortable. The guest house is walking distance (around 10 mins) from Long street with all its shops and cafes. I would definitely go back there. Highly recommended. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1781-p45999530-53e8-11e6-b143-1efd9bed7faa-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s998-p4742b150-53e8-11e6-baae-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s124-p6225eeb0-53e8-11e6-baae-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1299-p44c973f0-53e8-11e6-baae-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessie ### 6/10 Okay #### katie, seattle 23 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Guest house in town Excellent in town location but on VERY steep hill.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich und nett empfangen. Sie zeigte uns direkt unser Apartment / Stadtblick / Meerblick. Das Apartment ist sehr groß und sehr sauber. Wir fanden im Kühlschrank sogar alles nötige für das erste Frühstück. Zudem fragte Sie ob wir denn gerne ein Gläschen Wein trinken wollen, wir erhielten direkt eine ganze Flasche. Außerdem hat jedes Apartment sein eigenes Handy, welches wir mitnehmen konnten um vor Ort Restaurant Reservierungen vorzunehmen oder auch mal Katrin anzurufen wenn was unklar war. TOP Service, sehr nette und zuvorkommende Besitzerin. Vielen Dank für die tollen 3 Tage. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. ##### Kristina & Ante ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quite Heaven Loved it. Katrin was very helpful and hands on, so are her staff, friendly too. Room was very clean, with daily housekeeping. Breakfast was efficient, I like the idea of upfront bfast -nice. Neighbourhood is festive yet quiet, but beautiful surroundings overall. Unfortunately I had poor wifi, which can be improved. Also, no provision of soap which was odd, but I always come prepared so I didn't die. And no satellite channels, maybe that will improve. And I would've liked more water. Also the bathroom light makes a terrible noise when switched on. Honestly, I'd visit again and again and again. It's gorgeous. I'd recommend this place for business and leisure purposes. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 17 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Super Lage, nette Gastgeberin, sporadischer Raum Wir waren zwei Nächte bei Kathrin. Sie war sehr nett. Das Zimmer ist sehr sporadisch eingerichtet, aber sauber. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle, Texas 15 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent accommodation during Cape Town visit. Our experience at Upperbloem was outstanding. We contacted Katrin before our arrival to see about coming in a day earlier, and she was happy to oblige, coordinate airport transfer services, etc. She had excellent recommendations during our stay and the room was very comfortable well-stocked. Laundry service was very convenient, efficient, and reasonably priced. As other commenters noted, Upperbloem is at the top of a very steep hill, so we used a taxi service when returning home each evening. The excellent views made walking up and down hills and taking taxis worth it! It was a great location in a historic neighborhood and we found it easy to get around by walking, taking taxis, and the Hop On Hop off bus. When we return to Cape Town, we'll gladly return to Upperbloem for another terrific experience. ##### Michelle ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andreas, München 9 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wundervolles Multiview Appartment Es gibt verschiedene Appartments. wir hatten das Multiviewappartment mit einem phantastischen blick auf die Stadt und den Tafelberg.

Absolutely incredible view, the manager lives on-site and has a very friendly large dog. It says no breakfast served, but she had some cereal, milk, juice, muffins, coffee and tea in the room so we wouldn't have to stress about breakfast the first morning. Very close to all the popular downtown spots. Good for any ages. Great little place. 10/10 would go back again. ##### Samantha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wojciech, Munich 10 Feb 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location with increadible views Great location, 10 minutes walking distance to the city center (Long Street with all the night life). Nice, spacious room, nice terrace with a pool and incredible city view. Katrin, the owner, is an incredibly nice and cooperative person, can help you arrange the transportation, rent a car and has lots of tips on where to eat out etc. ##### Wojciech ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcel 6 Nov 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Freundschaftlicher Aufenthalt Das Guesthouse liegt im Bo-Kaap-Viertel. Man muss quasi durch das Viertel fahren, um zum Guesthouse zu gelangen. Da das Guesthouse über dem Viertel liegt, hat man einen herrlichen Blick über die Stadt. Unser Zimmer war mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich für ein Selfcatering-Guesthouse wünscht. Die Besitzerin war sehr offen und hilfsbereit und sparte auch nicht mit Tipps und Anregungen. Wir selbst waren auf Empfehlung eines Freundes dort und können diese Unterkunft auch bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen. Trotz der relativ zentralen Lage ist es angenehm ruhig und man kann gut schlafen. Und sollte man Ausflüge machen wollen, dann fragt vorher per Email oder während des Aufenthalts nach... die uns "vermittelten" Ausflüge waren allesamt klasse! :-) ##### Marcel ### 8/10 Good #### SavvyFairre, Zambia 22 Mar 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely view, big climb, comfy stay! Very comfortable and friendly B & B with an incredible view, a delicious included breakfast and a very steep climb! Proprietor very helpful. Rooms all abut the main kitchen area, so can be a bit noisy. Beautiful balcony with views of mountain and water. WiFi in common areas. Pool and maid service. ##### SavvyFairre ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mats och Göran 27 Feb 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hemkänsla, men ändå borta i fantastiska Kapstaden. Gillar att bo på mindre hotel, där man är igenkänd. Bra rent rum med fantastisk utsikt över Taffelberget och Kapstaden. God frukost med färsk frukt. Kommer att återvända till Kapstaden och då blir det detta mycket prisvärda hotel igen. ##### Mats och Göran ### 2/10 Terrible #### Praneeth 20 Dec 2012 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not a hotel its a guest house The way it was advertised in the site is a hotel it is just a house with some rooms.There is no air conditioning surroundings are not healthy.Not a safe area.We got a room with a bed and a fan thats all.I better suggest this should be adverstised more like a guest house rather than a hotel ##### Praneeth ### 6/10 Okay #### Jonathan, Oxford, UK 28 May 2012 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### good could have been great. they have a large guard dog that messes in the garden area. i requested that the dog mess be removed but this did not happen. The smell when cooking on the bbq was not nice. also this is a quiet guest-house so if you want to stay up past 11 talking / having a drink this is not the place to go. room was clean, breakfast was good and short walk to main streets. ##### Jonathan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jan 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### schöne Lage Das Upperbloem liegt auf eine Anhöhe mit Blick über Kapstadt von der Terrasse aus und auf der anderen Seite liegt einem der Tafelberg zu Füßen. Die Longstreet erreicht man in 5-10 Minuten zu Fuß, was tagsüber überhaupt keine Gefahr darstellt! Katrin ist eine super nette und angenehme Gastgeberin. Zum Frühstück gibt es alles was man braucht. Würde jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrik, Sweden 11 Apr 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming hotel in Malay district Beautifully located, small (5 rooms) hotel in the Malay quarters of Cape Town. Prices very reasonable. Rooms clean and tastefully furnished. Breakfast self serve of good western standard (no full English breakfast but more than enough to make you happy). Friendly staff. Hotel is close to city centre and Long street, but the walk to the hotel from long street is very steep. Consider taking a taxi home (cost about R30) if you are not so fit. Area seemed safe (by South African standards) but consider to take a taxi home after sunset. Beautiful surroundings in the Malay quarters and a nice view from the hotel balcony. We are overall very pleased and can recommend this hotel which is guaranteed value for money. ##### Patrik ### 8/10 Good #### Francesca 7 Mar 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un alojhamiento cerca del centro y con buenas vist El hotel está situado en pleno barrrio residencial, cerca del barrio malayo. Es preferible subir ( ¡vigila las cuestas!!!!) por las calles anteriores a Upperbloem, ya que las subidas son muy marcadas ##### Francesca ### 8/10 Good #### Jemma, UK 5 Aug 2010 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and trendy A little apprehensive of the location on arrival, as the residential area was a little run down. The guest house however, is not. We booked a small double, and arrived to find that our accommodation contained a double bed; private safe; wardrobes; tv (though only 5 channels); hifi; kitchenette including kettle, caffetiere (& tea and coffee); fridge, hob, and sink; table and chairs; sofa; patio; and bathroom with large bathtub and walk-in shower. The room, with silver high-spec finishings, was spotless. The shared kitchen was stocked with bread, croissants, pastries, cheeses, preserves, fruit and drinks, to be consumed any time, and again, was very clean. Only a 5 minute walk to Long street, however we felt the need to take a taxi back at night at a cost of approx R30, for safety reasons, and the fact that the property is atop a very steep hill. Hospitality was great. Overall, impressed with the accommodation. Tip; during our stay, no taxi driver knew of the accommodation, so ensure that you have the full address (and maybe even a map to guide them there if need be). ##### Jemma ### 8/10 Good #### Erik 14 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Erik Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2018 ---
