My goodness the pictures on Booking.com do not do this hotel justice! It truly lives up to its name. Gorgeous. Stunning. Jaw-dropping. When we saw the photos, we expected cozy rooms. When we stepped in, we got loft-like ceilings, spacious bedroom, large windows letting in plenty of sunlight, and a clean bathroom with excellent water pressure (be careful letting loose with those tabs because the water pressure is high). Hotel staff were so friendly during out entire stay. From warm greetings to excellent tips, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for. Service was also quite prompt from check-in to getting our luggage in our room. Morning cleaning was super efficient (done by the time we returned from breakfast) and turndown service was a lovely touch. Gig's rooftop restaurant and bar was a fantastic addition. Great for morning brunch or afternoon drinks. The rooftop also gets DOWN with guest DJs during the evenings.

There's really nothing to nitpick. Considering the cost per night, location, amenities, staff services, etc., this is a fantastic hotel. Whenever I return to Cape Town, Gorgeous George is going to be my go-to hotel.

From the moment we checked in we felt welcomed. The staff were incredible, so friendly and chatty and nothing was too much trouble. We had a studio room which was very spacious and had everything you could ask for, Tea and coffee, hairdryer, lovely toiletries, great air con, yoga mat, and the Netflix on the hotel account was useful. Breakfast was amazing, both the choice and quality of food. The restaurant food was also delicious as were the cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant and bar in the evening and the live music was great.

Everything and everyone was fantastic.

We loved our stay at Gorgeous George! Everything about the hotel was unique, chic, artsy, and stylish. The rooms were very large, and the shower was great. The free breakfast on the roof was delicious. The rooftop in general was an awesome place to relax. We loved sitting on the little pool deck, and we loved the bar (Gigi's Rooftop) so much that we went every night after dinner! The cocktails were delicious. Every staff member we encountered during our stay was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even surprised us by decorating our room for our honeymoon, which was very thoughtful. We were a little concerned that the hotel was located on the pedestrian mall and Ubers would not be able to drop us off in front of the door at night, but the drop off spot was a very short walk to the hotel, and we felt completely safe. I highly recommend staying Gorgeous George while in Cape Town!

Everything was great!!

My daughter and I had an exceptional stay. The staff went over and above to make us feel welcome. They advised us on what attractions to visit and provided a variety of suggestions. One staff member discovered it was my birthday and provided a gorgeous birthday dessert that was delivered to my room. Such a lovely gesture! The room and facilities were fun, artsy, and creative. The food was delicious; breakfast was included in the price and there was a great selection. I would happily stay at Gorgeous George again!

The only very small fault was the limited choice for vegetarians on the evening menu.

I loved the friendliness of the staff. They actually had personality and were not overly buttoned up — unlike most 5 star hotels. They went over and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. Even so far as having doormen keep an eye on me while I waited for an uber at night.

The only knock I have is that the AC unit in my room kept condensing and dripping water on the floor — even though the thermostat was set to 22-23C. However, their staff was quick to clean up the condensation water and kept the room very tidy & clean.

Good WiFi Good, central location Good bathroom and water pressure in the shower Relatively spacious for city hotel Nice rooftop restaurant Excellent breakfast, with lots of options Friendly and helpful staff Good A/C

Difficult to find initially while driving using Google Maps (as in pedestrian zone and one-way streets) Not the cheapest option Charged for min-bar item we didn't take (but was refunded when queried) Can hear background noise from the streets (to be somewhat expected given location)

What an amazing Funky and cool Hotel in the middle of Cape Town. The vibe was relaxed, but high end, and the Roof Top Bar, restaurant and pool area was such a great place to hang out even for oldies like us. On one night there was a DJ mixing vinyl, and on the other night was a band jamming with customers. Very Hip!

Clearer instructions on arriving by Hire-Car, and where/how to park would have been welcome as the hotel is located on a pedestrian ised area, and it was our first time in Cape Town. We'll know for next time!

very stylish hotel with amazing rooftop. very good breakfast and top location.

there was a strange smell coming from the shower. at the end of our stay there were several items on our bill which we haven’t consumed. also we wanted to book a table for dinner on the rooftop. reception told us that it isn’t necessary to make a reservation as guests of the hotel, but when we arrived there was no spot left for us, very disappointing! however they managed to solve the problem.

Super clean, spacious, comfy, combat, and definitely feels homy away from home. Loved how the hotel is decorated and rest assured the pics aint doing it justice at all, the reality is much more visually appealing! The Gigi Rooftop Restaurant is another great story! My wife loved the Avo Egg for breakfast and I loved the Whole Fish for dinner ! The restaurant gets busy with outside guests which is something we loved big time because it feels like we’re still hanging out and not back after a long day. Richard, Dillon, and Tashreeq were of great help and support and were going above and beyond to make our experience memorable ! I have never suffered even a bit from the housekeeping services like in any other hotel. The room was super clean and ready for us around the clock. Let alone the receptionists great help, Lusanda was a super host by DNA I shall claim! He is a true gentleman with genuine care about his guests. He did help us in booking our Helicopter Trip, Gold Restaurant, and Car Rental as well as several sightseeing spots like Capepoint, Penguin Beach and the Safari.

Nothing at all. Although nothing has happened to us, but the area can feel uncomfortable to walk around at night. However, this was highlighted by the hotel staff and always recommended safe routes and using uber.

Super clean and spacious room. Quiet room and very comfortable beds. Enough space to store stuff and deploy luggage (Family of 4 (2 and 4 yr old kids). Great staff especially in the restaurant and the guys at the entrance. They make you feel safe. Kids loved the swimming pool. It’s small but it fitted the purpose of our visit. We wanted to checked out Cape Town and its beaches and not stay in the hotel the entire day.
