Rooms and amenities are comfy, good quality and aesthetically pleasing, Professional, efficient, extremely pleasant atmosphere created by the staff under Peter Jafta's leadership and style of operating - everything worked like clockwork with a smile. Special requests accommodated with no fuss, advice on destinations, everything to make our stay enjoyable. Naomi is super energetic and on the ball. People obviously take pride in their work.

The booking info could use a note about one's willingness to climb a few stairs here and there. Luckily I'm fit but I frequently travel with people who are not so mobile.

I liked the fact that the atmosphere of the lodge was warm and provided many out of room facilities; giving it a feeling of home away from home.

Just before I was about to extend my stay, I was scolded in front of other guests by Naomi in the front lobby. For requiring the services of the area's armed response, one too many times to assist starting my car. She then proceeded, to share her exploits with the cleaning staff, not realising that my daughter was close enough to hear her boasting. She marred what was otherwise a perfect stay; the rest of the staff were warm, hospitable and courteous.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is on the same road as the Signal Hill gun so you are quite high up above the city. Our room had a balcony with a table and 2 chairs where we could sit and view Cape Town.The city is so pretty at night. The room was a standard hotel size. We were only there for the one night. Did not use any of the facilities. We were able to park the car inside the premises instead of on the street.

The road to the hotel is not in great condition, and from a safety aspect we were advised not to walk along the road at night.

Wifey and I spent three nights here prior to a group motorbike tour. It is a modern, nicely decorated hotel in a multi, step level, style going down the face of a steep hill overlooking Cape Town. Reception is at the top level with a comfy sitting area dominated by a piano. Beyond that is a meeting room with the highest viewpoint. There is also a small gated car park accessed from Military Road. On the next level down are the 300 numbered rooms and the dining area which has the view alongside an outside terrace/eating area. The 200 numbered rooms share the next floor down with the kitchen and the lowest floor houses the 100 rooms plus access to the lower pedestrian gate that opens onto the road at the upper end of the Bo-Kaap district. This gate iand access to it from the hotel is locked and staff need to let you out. Beware if you order an Uber or Scooteroo to deliver to the Signal Hill Lodge this is where they will turn up so always quote the Military Road address. We were in Room 205 with the view. We had an issue with the shower screen that was fixed as soon as we reported it and they helped us with the room safe when Wifey locked it wrongly. Beyond that the room had a double bed with a foot either side and two feet at the foot at the foot of it. The French window opening on to our small but private balcony was to the right of the bed. The wardrobe and desk are to the left and at the foot of the bed was the Tea table and TV on the wall above it and the left to right a small recantgular bathroom. With a shower, sink and toilet. All in all not bad but but not very big considering the price. My biggest criticism is with breakfast and the super slow staff who couldn't get our requests right, took one or two orders at a time, took them to the kitchen and eventually returned. It was a complete shambles. Don't pay for it. Eat elsewhere else.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice view over the harbor side of Cape Town. The location is laid out over four floors on the mountain side directed towards the harbor - you go up and down and up and down on the elevator. Kind of funny.

The room was a bit tiny and if you have to repack suitcases before heading to the airport it's difficult. The water/shower system was a bit outdated and needed explanation to get it functioning. Driving up to the place is a small road and a car/taxi is an absolute necessity.

The view was great and the garden well maintained and very pretty. The bed was comfy and the room was neat. It was such a nice touch that the Manager on duty was at the gate when we arrived and assisted us to get parking. She was super!!

You have to get a demonstration of how to use the bathroom taps and shower. The water was luke warm, not pleasant ar all in winter. There were no coffee beans for cappuccino's at breakfast :(

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. they made me feel at home especially the manager and a young man called Christiano.

I couldn't get my phone on wifi while in town and i walked all the way to the hotel with the help of an old lady called Hadijah from BOO Kap. oh boy! i wished the hotel wasn't surrounded by bushes and those tall trees because anything could have possibly gone wrong given the fact that it was already night time (Ugandan walking on the streets from cape town long street all the way to signal hotel on military road!)

Most staff members were kind and helpful. Peter was very helpful, and went the extra mile to resolve issues. Clean pool and a well maintained garden. They have onsite laundry facilities

water took too long to warm up in the shower. collection point for uber eats is on the dodgy side of the property.

Great location, very central to everything in Cape Town, lovely views. Room was very nicely laid out and beds were very comfortable plenty of space and luxurious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to help with anything we needed. Breakfast was satisfactory, unfortunately there was a taxi strike on at the time so some of the food items on the menu weren't available. Would definitely stay there again.

The water system with the basin and shower we didn't enjoy, the fact that you could only operate the shower on its own and the basin on its own, the water pressure was quite low (I am assuming that was the problem!) so showering with little more than a trickle was frustrating.
