Very nice place to stay, at a great rate, and that right in the City Bowl of Capetown! District Six Museum and Slave Lodge are closeby. Good Hope Castle is only 10mins walking (maybe not even) and the waterfront is about 30 mins on foot. Therefore: great location! Rooms (and bathrooms) are spacious and clean. Big and wel equipped kitchen.... More

I do highly recommend Scalabrini. The location is rather convenient and the facilities are clean, quite, illuminated, with a well equipped kitchen and a overall nice and functional design (excellent WiFi and laundry service). Nathalie, Tara and Yvette were always available and willing to assist and so professional in doing so. But the most interesting thing is that the guest... More

We really appreciate Tara and Nathalie and all of the wonderful people who made our stay great. This was an ideal place for us. The bed was comfortable, the room clean and there is a nice kitchen for cooking and storing food. We felt generally safe in this neighborhood within a short walk to Long Street and Company's Gardens. We... More

I have just spent three days at the Scalabrini Guest House, and I can recommend this place whole-heartedly. The rooms are spacious enough and very clean with a well appointed en-suite bathroom. The kitchen facilities for making your own breakfast are very good too, and the location right in the centre of Cape Town is unbeatable. You can walk to... More

I stayed in Scalabrini Guest House for 5 nights and thought it was an excellent choice. Scalabrini is located a stone's throw from Company's Garden, the Parliament, District Six museum and a short walk to Long street. The rooms are modest, but clean, with en suite facilities. There is also a kitchen where you can make coffee and tea, there... More

We have recently stayed 8 nights in this guesthouse and felt very much at home. The room was very clean, simple but comfortable with good bathroom facilities. Good value for a stay in the centre of Cape Town, visiting all the DO's nearby (Table Mountain, museums, Long Street, Green Market Square etc.) We walked many times up and down to... More

We stayed at the Scalabrini Guest House for two nights and enjoyed it a lot! The Guest House is located in a quiet street in the city centre of Cape Town and therefore ideally situated, it takes about five minutes to walk to Company Gardens and 10-15 minutes to Long Street. The rooms are simple, purposeful and very clean including... More
