Vredenburg Holidays from £871

Suite 406 was our gorgeous oasis in Cape Town Kenny is a friendly, generous gentleman who helped us every step of the way! The Urban Elephant @ The Rose is highly recommended by us!

We stayed here from March 14 th to March 22. We booked 2 rooms and the stay was awesome. It was right at the city center. The staff was so attentive and very courteous and friendly. The rooms were spacious, neat and comfortable. Breakfast was included and was awesome.

This is without question the best B&B we’ve rented. 1) Location: we woke up every morning to the sight of the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, as the water glistened under the rising sun. 2) Service: they were attentive, caring, and their response time was speedy. You felt like you had gone home to visit your favorite relatives. The best part about the service was the tiny fur babies that greeted us on arrival and checked on us every morning. 3) Cleanliness and decor: this is the first time I’ve stayed at a B&B and did not feel the need to sanitize the entire flat before getting settled in. The decor screamed ‘glamorously comfortable’. Old world met new world in proportions that were just right enough to make the room a statement piece of its own, fit for a showcased home. 4) Food: thanks to them, I think I’m carrying around an extra 4 pounds. Little homemade pastries, freshly made, always seemed to find their way into our room, hands, and mouths. The breakfast spread was irresistible. On our last day William made Mona, a Spanish bread traditionally served during Easter, that was his grandmother’s culinary treasure. Not only was it delicious, but knowing that we got to enjoy a piece of his family history was priceless. Thank you for an amazing ‘Cape-cation’. We will always stay here whenever we visit Cape Town.

We stayed at the property due to its close proximity to a wedding we were attending. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. The thing that brought down our experience were the ants in our room. They were crawling on the bed and our clothing which was unsettling. While the staff tried to remedy it through cleaning, you’d still wake up with them in the bed.

The hotel is very well located, with great views of Table Mountain and shopping areas nearby. The hotel staff was excellent, and the restaurant and breakfast exceeded expectations. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
