    A bit disorganized at check in

    The design of the rooms and the Hotel in general. The breakfast was amazing as well.

    Not that we would swim, but the pool wasn't full

    The staff are incredibly good at their jobs. Booking tours, giving us extra scones at breakfast, giving us the world's best welcome drink, and giving smiles away for free. We experienced the best breakfasts that we have ever had in accommodation in our entire lives. The GG's rooftop is insanely beautiful, and the decor has a point of difference. The location is close to outstanding restaurants, and a melting pot of diversity.

    If I had one suggestion, it would be to offer a wider variety at breakfast. But aside from that, I genuinely can’t wait to come back!

    Gorgeous George Hotel truly lives up to its name.Gorgeous in every way! The location is perfect, the staff are incredibly friendly, and it’s definitely a place I’d love to return to. The room exceeded expectations; it matched the photos in both style and elegance. I was especially impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was.

    There was a bit of noise one night but it wasn’t a major issue, and a pair of earplugs from the helpful staff made it easy to sleep peacefully.

    Gorgeous George is an exceptional hotel that truly stands out. From the moment you enter, it's clear that every detail has been thoughtfully designed. The hotel is easy to find, thanks to a prominent sign that marks the entrance (the street is only for pedestrians). Once inside, you're immediately greeted by a stunning tile mural in the lobby, featuring a beautiful map of Cape Town – a truly unique touch. Throughout the hotel, you’ll discover various artistic details that make walking around a delight, from the captivating artwork on the walls to the carefully curated design elements. Our stay was fantastic – the room was spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. The amenities were top-notch, and it was a pleasure to relax there. Breakfast at the Gigi's Rooftop was a highlight – one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had, with generous portions, excellent food, but more amazing staff, thanks to the team! The hotel’s location is ideal for first-time visitors to Cape Town, offering easy access to popular attractions.

    The surrounding area might be a bit off-putting, but I felt fairly safe.

    The staff are all very friendly and helpful. From valet who parks your car, to the front desk greeting you, to the Gigi restaurant staff - everyone is accommodating and very friendly, making your stay enjoyable and memorable experience. The room is exceptionally clean, with wooden floors, comfortable bedding, modern finishings, and with everything that I needed for my stay. I loved the design and feel of the place and the room. They were flexible enough to accommodate my slightly late check-out because I had a meeting nearby finishing at 12 pm. As I had an early morning meeting, Chloe from Gigi restaurant organised an early breakfast for me. The waiter Timichi sets a positive vibe to the place.
