What guests think

At Signal Hill Lodge, guests praise friendly, helpful staff and very clean spaces, enjoying sweeping city and Table Mountain views from a quiet hillside, though the location is less walkable due to steep approaches.

Rooms are often small, with some layout or bathroom privacy quirks. On-site parking exists yet can be tight, and a few guests reported intermittent hot water. Breakfast is generally well liked, with omelettes and baked items mentioned, though occasional replenishment delays occurred. Best suited to travelers happy to rely on taxis or Uber rather than walking.

I don't like the glass toilet door that doesn't fully shut. Would be nice if I had a microwave too. The a/c is positioned to blow mostly to the head area by the bed, it's not to my liking. The room feels small. If a phone and microwave are present the next time, I'll give it a 5. An extra blanket was present, very much a necessity in winter. The parking situation can be a challenge if there are more cars but they do their best to accommodate all cars. I like that the room has a carpet. First day I got bottled water, that's excellent. The kettle and teas were available in the room. Points on the smart tv but I guess you need your own logins for services like Netflix. Beautiful garden! Stay there for the view of the city, it's one of the best! The staff are friendly and understanding even after I inconvenienced them on something that was entirely my fault.

Hot water for a shower worked sometimes and not at others, even though the management said it was fixed. The offer of an omelette was welcomed as the group ahead of us ate almost all the food. The muffins were great. I expected a room with a view, considering the location. Instead, the fabulous views are reserved for the areas where all guests have access to…great idea. Slow service. Nice employees. Horrible interior design…garish.

The hotel has a beautiful location at the base of Signal Hill with lovely views across the city. It is still quite accessible and walkable to downtown attractions (I was working at the International Convention Centre and could make the walk in 30-40 minutes). The surrounding area is quiet and I felt quite safe walking during the day. The staff are all lovely and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. I have no complaints about the room (not honeymoon standard perhaps but perfectly adequate for business or vacation travel). My only issue was that they must get the lower gate buzzer fixed so guests are not stranded outside!

We had the most incredible 30-day stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who made us feel right at home. The room was spacious and clean. Throughout my stay, the housekeeping team ensured everything was kept spotless, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. The location was perfect, providing easy access to local attractions. What truly stood out was the exceptional service and attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. From organizing day trips to recommending local restaurants, they were always there to assist with a smile. We cannot recommend this accommodation enough. Whether for a short visit or an extended stay like ours, this place will exceed your expectations. We will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Location

A hillside setting provides broad city and mountain views and a quiet atmosphere, but it is outside the center and many guests avoid walking due to steep climbs. Several mention a run-down or dark surrounding area and proximity to an informal settlement.
