I really didn't like this apartment at all, as it made me really sad to leave Cape Town and return to normal life. The apartment is located on the 30th floor of a high-rise residential building with the most spectacular views of the Cape Town city and harbour. The apartment is spotless and equipped with the best amenities that you need for a comfortable stay. I did not want to leave! The hosts were very special people who did a daily quick check in to ensure that everything was ok. I'll be back.

The location is great and every close to all that you'd likely need. The manager of the location checked on me and was very great at making sure that I was okay. Note the entrance and exit has face recognition requirements which is great for solo travel. Also the surrounding area is very guarded so overall very safe when using all safety precautions.

Great home away from home in Cape Town! Convenient location, close to restaurants and the waterfront. We had a great view of the Signal Hill and Lion's Head. The apartment gave our family plenty of room to spread out. We really enjoyed our time here.

These are basically condos. Living room, full kitchen with oven/stove, full sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher and in suite laundry. Bedroom is separate from the living room. Bed was comfortable. The shower was very nice, plenty of hot water. Only drawback was at nights the motorcycles and cars with no/loud exhausts would race up and down the street. Even with windows closed, blinds drawn and earplugs in it was very difficult to sleep. Check in process was easy. Security was super tight. Facial recognition to get into the building and to leave.

A great apartment in a great location. Super safe with lots of security at the front door and facial recognition to enter.
The apartment was exactly as described and I got a personal check in and taken to the apartment. All cooking facilities were available and the added bonus of a washing machine. I was in town for the marathon so it was great to be able to wash my kit before heading home.

Centrally located in the heart of Cape Town, this hotel is conveniently close to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. All the staff are friendly, kind and very helpful. The view from their roof top bar is simply stunning. I will defnitely book my next Cape Town visit at this hotel again.

Apt 2709. Very large, comfortable, and clean room. Balcony was huge with amazing views. Situated by the pool, workout area, and bar on the 27th floor. \"Gym\" was outside and had a few things to do a workout. Rain showerhead provided adequate water pressure and heat. Full kitchen with a couple of complimentary waters in the fridge. A safe 15 min walk to the V&A Waterfront. Great value for the stay! Would absolutely stay here again when in Capetown!

The apartment was on the 19th floor. Great views of the city and waterfront. It was well equipped, spacious and clean. 4 lifts serviced all floors, never had to wait long. Kurdra the host was very helpful and always contactable.
Water pressure to rain shower head was not quite up to what it needed to be but still adequate. Just don’t try and wash your hair if it’s long.
Overall and wonderful stay.

Close to restaurants and the Cape Town wharf, but we were cautioned about walking around at night due to safety concerns. Staff were helpful and friendly, particularly Talent, our concierge.

Think of this as an apartment hotel and you'll have the idea. The unit was as pictured. The security process at the front made us feel very safe, but took a little time at check in. Some issues with a nearby tenant whose cannabis smell kept getting into our room somehow. Lots of closet space. Comfortable beds. A few odd things like no hand soap in the bathrooms.

Location was really good and the apartment had everything you needed. I didnt get my room serviced while i was there evidently due to a misunderstanding. The bar in the complex is very poor but not the responsibility of the appartment owners. On the whole a great place to stay.

The noise from the construction works opposite the room made the stay unbearable. The loud banging and drilling starts just after 06:30 and stops around 19:00 daily.

Lovely clean room with spectacular views! The staff was courteous and friendly—the amenities, however, left a little to be desired: a roll of paper towels and some tissue would have been useful.

This is one of my favourite apartment hotels ever in Cape Town. Great location, welcoming, kind and professional staff, stellar security and amenities. I truly felt at home and always safe. Activities and surrounding areas are just a walk away from the hotel too or a ride away. Our host Laz was honestly the best, always made us feel comfortable and safe, with top recommendations of things to do. I will definitely be back!

We loved the friendly and personal check in with Laz. The apartment was spacious and small touches that made a helpful difference were having some dish soap and laundry soap available in the room and the binder with information about where to eat, how to get room service etc. The check in about how our stay was going via WhatsApp after a few days was also very thoughtful and appreciated. We would absolutely stay at Urban Elephant again!

We have just returned from the most amazing stay at Urban Elephant 16 on Bree. The apartment exceeded all expectations, more spacious than the photos inferred, fully equipped and located centrally.
The staff were great, in particular Laz the Guest Relations Manager, he was available for any queries or booking enquiries we had, nothing was a problem, a truly conscientious person who generally cares about his job and the satisfaction of guests.

This was one of our favorite Hotels.com stays. The apartment was spotless & elegant and yet comfortable & cozy at the same time, with a fantastic view. Laz welcomed us warmly on arrival and ensured we knew how the building security worked, and offered tips for the local area. Will definitely keep it in mind for our next Cape Town visit!

This property was amazing. I felt very safe. They use facial recognition to let you in and out of the building. All the employees were very nice and helpful. Having my own kitchen was great. I will be staying here again if I find myself in Cape Town

Overpriced and the description is not accurate

Booked last minute with 30% or so off. Would be disappointed if had to pay the full price. The premium bedding is not that premium. For me premium is at least 300 thread and not polycotton. Bed was noisy, shower door leaking, so by the time I finished the shower, the floormat was already soaking. There were no slippers and no paper towels in the kitchen as advertised. Towels are with holes.

Great stay. Location awesome walking distance to lots of things and very central.
Easy check in and safe surroundings with lots of security

Improvements would need to be communication. Organised in advance airport shuttle only to be told they “missed the messages” and didn’t send anyone.
