Everything is great. Spacious and comfortable rooms. The shower is fantastic, as is the bed. The service is outstanding, charming, and friendly. The breakfasts and the rooftop terrace are also very good. The location is central and everything is easily accessible. The atmosphere at night isn't the best, but I don't know if it's just the area or if it's the same throughout the city. The hotel itself isn't particularly charming in terms of decor. It looks a bit dark and somewhat gloomy.

The Gorgeous George Hotel is a beautifully decorated facility with an intimate rooftop bar, restaurant, and poolside lounge. I'd highly recommend stopping by for dinner, drinks, and an overnight stay.

The hotel is in a fantastic location. You can easily walk to many of the main attractions, and the places that require a car are only a few minutes away. They also take care of parking your car and bring it back whenever you need it, which is incredibly convenient. Every member of the staff was exceptionally friendly and always willing to help with a smile. A special mention goes to Djo Djo, who was absolutely outstanding. He gave us great advice and recommendations that allowed us to experience Cape Town like locals. Truly a 10/10. Thank you for making our stay in Cape Town so special. The food at the hotel was delicious, the facilities were excellent, and overall it offered outstanding value for money. We would definitely stay here again.

I had a wonderful experience at Gorgeous George Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the security staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a great first impression. The receptionist was professional, warm and very helpful throughout my stay. A special mention goes to Wendy, who was more than welcoming and truly made the experience feel personal and comfortable with her kindness and hospitality. The hotel itself has a beautiful atmosphere, and the overall service was excellent. It’s definitely a place I would recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and welcoming stay in Cape Town. ✨
