Great location near UCT, clean modern comfortable rooms, very helpful staff, nice shower, nice breakfast. Only two very minor complaints: the internet in my room was unreliable (though better in my friend’s room), and I wished there were conditioner besides shampoo. Otherwise, perfect!

I stayed at Little Scotia for two weeks. It is in a great location with quick access to the CBD, V&A, and all the nature spots like Table Mountain and the botanical gardens. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Thank you to Mark and the team for a wonderful, fautless stay. Plenty of shops and several food options round the corner. Such a peaceful and relaxing experience. A delicious breakfast served by a lovely team. Great for working peacefully. And a beautiful short walk for meetings at UCT Upper and Middle Campus. Hope to have a reason to return in the future.

This is a cute guest house. It is definitely 3* in terms of standard. They do offer a bathrobe and everyone is really lovely. Good for short stays.
