I have travelled all over the world and for the price of this hotel and where and what the room looks like, it has been the best yet. The Adderley hotel is amazing. It is situated in a very central location to all the main attractions in Capetown. It is one street from Long street with bars, restaurants and hostel's and next to St. George's  Market with street venders and cafe's. Although it is in the CBD which dies at night, people say it is not recommend to walk up and down the street alone at night. Although I felt comfortable walking straight to the hotel alone I wouldn't recommend it if your a female and getting in really late. There are many people out at that time I'm sure you don't want to talk to. But it is in a good spot for taxi's to dropped you off right in front. There is a Red bus tour stop right next to the church about a 5 minute walk away. Perfect. It is a nice walk to V&A Waterfront being about a 30-40 minute walk if taking in all the views and about a 50-55 rand (7 USA dollars) taxi ride. I walked to the waterfront each night around 630 then took a taxi home. It was perfect. As for the hotel it was perfect. The rooms were clean, big and very modern. The staff was very helpful and kind. Rooms are made twice a day. Once to clean the room then at night when your at dinner to get ready for bed.The pool on the roof is nice to dip in and an over hang to lay under with a good view of Adderley street. The price of the hotel is well worth it and I would totally recommend it to any age of traveller. Nice work to the staff and I will being staying there again. 

We had a one night stay in a junior suite.It was perfect and we enjoyed it very much.

After an extensive search on the internet, we selected this hotel (based on the room pictures and its convenient location in Cape Town's Central Business District) and booked a room in April 2011. After a full day of sightseeing + a drive from Simons Town, we arrived at this hotel late in the evening only to find out that this hotel was overbooked due to problems with their booking software. To say we were not pleased was an understatement, especially since we a) booked a room (and received confirmation) well in advance (April 2011) and b) supplied this hotel with all possible contact details. As it later turned out, we were not the only guests affected by this problem. Hotel staff did provide us with an alternate solution close by (as one would expect) but we remained uncertain whether we would receive equal "value for pay".

This may just have been a one-time glitch but a hotel with just 27 rooms available should make double sure that their reservation system is fault tolerant and offers a decent backup system.

I recommend that future guest contact reception just prior upon arrival and check whether the reservation is still valid.

I'm sure that the rooms at this hotel are quite nice (reason why we booked in the first place...). Unfortunately, Adderley was ultimately not able to provide us with a first hand impression.......

We have just spent four weeks at the Adderley over the christmas and new year period, and could not have picked a better hotel. We booked a luxury suite, and had two huge rooms, so much bigger than european standards. As described in other reviews, one large lounge/diner, and one very large bedroom, with amazingly comfortable beds, although the feather pillows could have been a bit harder for sleeping. The rooms are furnished a little minimalist, and our only gripe was that there were no drawers anywhere, so no where to put things away out of site.

We had a rental car for our holidays, and found that the reserved spaces in the multistorey at the back of the hotel was perfect. There is an entrance from the car park straight into the third floor hallway of the hotel, accessed with your room keycard, which was brilliant. The entrance and reception area of the hotel is slightly pokey, and belies the size and quality of the rooms upstairs. There is a bar, restuarant and balcony area on the first floor, with a guest computer station, which you have to pay for acccess to the internet, which seems a bit miserly, surely in such a hotel, the internet access could be given free of charge. We used the self catering facilities in the room a lot, so didnt use the bowl restuarant at all. The kitchen area is fitted with basic equipment, allowing us to cook basic meals, but with a bit of juggling around. There is a dishwasher, which seems a bit superfluous, and a two ring hob.

While we were there, there was a street market along Adderley Street for ten nights over the holiday period, closing off the road to traffic from 5pm until after the street cleaners had done there business at about 2am every night. Also a night carnival on new years eve, which started at 10pm until 3am with about sixty brass bands from all over the Western Cape area. This carnival was repeated on the afternoon of the 2nd January, which a public holiday, and this time the clearing up was completed about 1am, so beware of the extra noise over this period. It was very interesting, and colourful, and the hotels position offered the best views of the local celebrations.

Overall, and excellent choice of accomodation, and had that not been so good, we may not have stayed in one place for four weeks. Definately go again in the future.
