Unsatisfactory stay
Rooms are untidy, especially under beds- daily cleaning is not up to standard. Gowns and some towels were removed and not replaced during our stay. Parking entrance and exit you need to press and there’s no sanitizer (exposure to COVID) same goes to lift. Parking is not free for guests.

Lovely boutique hotel
Lovely little boutique hotel in Cape Town. Requested a quiet room and late check out and was warmly accommodated. The bed is the most important for me and the comfort exceeded my expectation. The restaurant is great! Lovely staff. Thank you

Lovely hotel but needs a refresh
I have stayed at the Cape Milner about 6 times . Hotel is lovely and the staff and service is great. My room was a suite on this occasion and it was tired and needs updating. The room staff had not cleaned the room properly and there empty water bottles on the balcony outside and No spoons in the room for coffee. I actually think the lower grade rooms are better /newer and so will just save the money and book a standard room going forward.

Lovely stay, great hotel, nice pool area and really helpful staff. We accidentally left our passports and extra cash in the safe. Everything was safe and sound at the front desk when we returned to pick it up two days later. Easy and cheap onsite parking too. Really great location, walking distance to excellent restaurants and BoKap neighborhood. If I am Cape Town again I will definitely stay here.
