At Gorgeous George by Design Hotels ™, guests consistently highlight genuinely friendly service, a lively rooftop restaurant and bar with excellent breakfast, and a central CBD location that’s convenient by day but can feel unsafe for walking after dark.
Many describe spacious, comfortable rooms with distinctive decor, while some report evening event noise, particularly in rooms just below the top floor. Access by car can be confusing because the entrance is on a pedestrian street, though valet assistance helps. Expect a vibrant boutique stay with standout hospitality in a lively downtown setting.

The property is apparently owned by a German … but the interior was designed by a South African and it shows. Beautiful touches of Cape Town art and detail adorns this small boutique hotel. It has a beautiful roof top bar and decor with decent food and drinks. The spacious rooms were designed in what I would call South African QT / W hotel vibes which I adore. The hotel is difficult to access by car but they offer a free valet / parking service… you have to drive onto the pedestrian path / mall in front of the hotel. The area around the hotel may not feel so safe at night… it is in the CBD / down town area after all.

Great hotel in a great location close to so many attractions. The staff is amazing and the restaurant is spectacular on the rooftop. It’s a very cool vibe all around. I give five stars to the breakfast, which is superb, included with our room, and the dinner we enjoyed was A+. There are events at the hotel which makes it even better. I was travelling for three nights with my wife and four year old daughter and this stay was perfect.

Chic and trendy hotel. Very nice staff and always willing to help. Free valet parking. Area is probably a little more mixed - the hotel themselves don’t recommend walking on the street alone after dark. We just took uber point to point and we were fine. We would always see hotel staff/security so it felt safe enough. One small complaint - we stayed on 5th floor which is right underneath the rooftop bar and could hear some stomping. Could not hear sound from other rooms next door so that bit is fine.

We had a fantastic stay at Gorgeous George! The hotel was lovely and the service incredible. We had a studio room which was perfect, clean and comfortable. Food and drinks were amazing and we loved having access to the rooftop deck/pool to relax. The hotel is in a great location to get around town and its easy to find from the Uber stopping point. We had no issues walking around the local area during the day, and its close to the start of several walking tours. At night you'd need to Uber but its so reasonable and close to lots of the main restaurants/attractions.

Our first visit to Cape Town and so glad we found this boutique hotel. Superb service, food (Gigi restaurant) and comfort. The quality and variety of breakfast was unbeatable! Excellent location for visiting Company's Garden, castle, Bo-Kaap, District 6 museum and short taxi ride to V&A Waterfront. All staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and valued. Chloe, in particular, was really helpful and even gave us a snack-pack for our drive out to Cape Point. Not your typical "tourist" hotel .... definitly in the hub of the city but we felt very safe there. For anyone travelling by hire car, they offer valet parking (which we used for one night at no extra charge). Very good value for money in every aspect.

We spent 4 nights during our honeymoon at Gorgeous George. We had the most amazing stay. The location is central, right in the CBD. The rooms were clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. Gigis restaurant was incredible on the top floor! They had amazing coffee, drinks, and mouthwatering food! Don’t miss their daily complementary a-la-carte breakfast! The hotel had such quirky, yet mindblowing decor! Will gladly come back

Hotel centrale vicino alla stazione e a quasi tutti i luoghi di interesse con parcheggio privato non facile da trovare anche con le indicazioni dell’hotel. Stanza spaziosa, arredamento originale, letto spazioso e comodo. Pulita. Forse non un vero 5 stelle, ma un ottimo albergo. Colazione servita su menù non troppo vario, ma di alta qualità. Il punto forte dell’hotel è senza dubbio il personale, allegro, disponibile, impeccabile. Complimenti!

Very central, yet difficult to access. As doors open from a pedestrian road, one has to drive into the pedestrian road to access parking. Finding this out the first time is not easy, and later on not practical. Staff is welcoming, attentive and friendly. Cleanliness is spotless. Duvets and pillows, however, are very low quality, not in line with a supposed 5*hotel, rather a hospital, their filling is plasticky and their case is paper, resulting in very u comfortable sweaty sleep in the absence of perspiration. Alternative could not be provided at request. Restaurant upstairs has the athmosphere of ruin bars, and air temperature is very cold. Even staff wears coats which comes across very unprofessional. Breakfast, Food is just OK. Drinks below acceptable standard.

Trendy, centrally located, and very clean! Staff was great, except the restaurant staff was quite slow. The walls were thin so I could hear others coming and going from their rooms, noise from outside, and the music from the first floor venue. They did provide earplugs, so clearly they’re aware this is ann issue. Overall excellent, would stay again!

Getting to the hotel's entrance is a bit tricky, some drivers know their ways so problem solved, otherwise the drop off point to hotel is still walkable. The hotel is beautifully restored with chic and creative design, bed is very comfortable. I really love the vibes here, unfortunately it can be very loud with the music during weekend. One should avoid this place if quiet room preferred. Breakfast served in a la carte menu and freshly prepared, it was so delicious. Staffs are very genuine, helpful and friendly. It was definitely the hidden gem in Cape Town.

The property was nice. Tight quarters in the lobby especially accessing the lifts. Our unit was immediately in front of the elevator door. Not ideal for a larger, more expensive room. I sounded like there was a gym under or over us. The room felt cold and dark. It was well appointed although no iron or much hanging space for clothes. The neighborhood was not nice. It didn’t feel safe especially after dark. The restaurant in the hotel was the best part of our stay. Food was fantastic although the service felt snooty. I think we were just not young enough for this wannabe trendy hotel.

What a discovery! The hotel is really cute. Whoever was their designer did a great job. The room was spacious and well decorated and the water pressure in the bathroom was incredible. The rooftop restaurant was very stylish and the breakfast included with the stay was really good. They even packed us a breakfast takeaway bag when we had to leave at 3:30am for the airport! The hotel is in a great central location with fun vendors and a market square just outside the door. Would definitely recommend.

Hotel itself, due to superb staff and exquisite cuisine, as well as excellent outfitting, super. Only downside: noise insulation of rooms is poor, 5th floor rooms need seever upgrade on noise insulation towards rooftop restaurant and bar. Otherwise noise kills until 1am and atarts with breakfast prep from 530am.

It was a little confusing ti find since its on a pedestrian street. I called the hotel and they sent the bell boy to direct me on how to get there. The rooms besides being very comfortable for my family and I, was very chic. You will fall in love with the rooftop restaurant. Reminded me of a LA chic vibe. The cocktails were amazing. The vibe was great. Athough it felt the hotel would be a great place for younger traveleres, there were so accommodating to my family and I. As a matter of fact, there were lots of families with young toddlers staying here. The staff throughout the hotel was so cortious and helpful. They even walked with me to a grocery store to buy some stuff. I would have liked to have stayed for longer nights. I would definitely stay here again.

We were treated in a warm, friendly, professional manner by Tish, Chloe, Annie, Aaron and all the other wonderful who work at GG. The breakfast was superb, the cocktails divine and the ambience, music at Gigi's Rooftop to our liking.

We chose this hotel because it had a 5 star rating and it offered a suite with two king beds and 1 queen bed—perfect for our family, so it was worth the splurge. We booked it, and then it turned out that neither was accurate. The advertised room didn’t even exist! We arrived late, tired and hungry, and too late to find another hotel, so the only way to get a 2nd king bed was to pay for a 2nd room, making the cost even higher. Totally unfair and unprofessional. The hotel staff handled it very poorly—they made us wait forever while they tried to find a manager or anyone who would know how to handle the situation. They had no idea what they were doing. When they finally gave us an additional price to pay (and even wrote it in their notes!), the next day, they ended up charging us an even higher amount! This was not anything like a 5 star hotel! They also had no concierge or other amenities to make the hotel in keeping with such a rating.

For anyone travelling by hire car, they offer valet parking (which we used for one night at no extra charge). Very good value for money in every aspect.
Our first visit to Cape Town and so glad we found this boutique hotel. Superb service, food (Gigi restaurant) and comfort. The quality and variety of breakfast was unbeatable! Excellent location for visiting Company's Garden, castle, Bo-Kaap, District 6 museum and short taxi ride to V&A Waterfront.

Location
Central CBD base close to sights, markets and tour starts; many recommend using Uber at night and staying alert to street solicitation. Vehicle access is awkward because the entrance sits on a pedestrian street.

The property is apparently owned by a German … but the interior was designed by a South African and it shows. Beautiful touches of Cape Town art and detail adorns this small boutique hotel. It has a beautiful roof top bar and decor with decent food and drinks. The spacious rooms were designed in what I would call South African QT / W hotel vibes which I adore. The hotel is difficult to access by car but they offer a free valet / parking service… you have to drive onto the pedestrian path / mall in front of the hotel. The area around the hotel may not feel so safe at night… it is in the CBD / down town area after all.

In a prime location but comes with the difficulties of people nagging you for money/ bread on the street. Property itself is not 5*, more like 4*. Spacious room, excellent breakfast and very courteous/ helpful staff. Got to see the real Cape Town a bit because of location. Could provide 2 bottles of water per day rather than the strict policy of one/room. Enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend

Gorgeous George-just gorgeous! Ett fantastiskt hotell. Stora härligt snyggt inredda rum. Läcker inredning. Roof top - härlig poolmiljö, mysig restaurang. Jätte trevlig personal. Frukosten -to die for. Området downtown- centralt och bra, men kändes något otryggt efter stt butikerna stängt.

Chic and trendy hotel. Very nice staff and always willing to help. Free valet parking. Area is probably a little more mixed - the hotel themselves don’t recommend walking on the street alone after dark. We just took uber point to point and we were fine. We would always see hotel staff/security so it felt safe enough. One small complaint - we stayed on 5th floor which is right underneath the rooftop bar and could hear some stomping. Could not hear sound from other rooms next door so that bit is fine.

Really cool art-focused boutique hotel in the center of downtown. Area is a little edgy and getting in/out via car can be tricky but the staff is skilled and capable at assisting when you need it. We walked from hotel to the garden district along the park -- could have also done the walk to the waterfront easily. Food was really good - we had one dinner and a breakfast at the hotel. And drink program / cocktails were excellent. Just what you'd expect from an urban boutique hotel. Did not disappoint.

The hotel is incredibly chic and it offers cool amenities. Staff is also friendly and helpful. Room was totally fine and the price was fair. They offer parking. All that said, the area where the hotel is located is FAR FROM CHIC/hardly safe. It's also impossibly loud at night (like, can't sleep loud). Don't see myself coming back.

Love this hotel. It's like being on a film set with great decor and atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and super-helpful. Breakfast is great and I recommend the avo, poached eggs, bacon and sourdough toast. Delicious. We also had dinner in the hotel one night which was very good. I would say, be aware that this is in the city centre of cape Town. Brilliant during the day as you can walk everywhere from here but better to Uber at night. The doormen, especially Erin were great at helping us to feel totally secure.

Adoramos nossa estadia no hotel. Ele está localizado no Centro, a região pode parecer um pouco insegura a noite, mas não tivemos problemas. Sempre havia uber disponível por perto. A staff do hotel era muito simpática, o quarto era grande e limpo. O restaurante era ótimo! Café da manhã incrivelmente bom!!!!

What a discovery! The hotel is really cute. Whoever was their designer did a great job. The room was spacious and well decorated and the water pressure in the bathroom was incredible. The rooftop restaurant was very stylish and the breakfast included with the stay was really good. They even packed us a breakfast takeaway bag when we had to leave at 3:30am for the airport! The hotel is in a great central location with fun vendors and a market square just outside the door. Would definitely recommend.

Trendy, centrally located, and very clean! Staff was great, except the restaurant staff was quite slow. The walls were thin so I could hear others coming and going from their rooms, noise from outside, and the music from the first floor venue. They did provide earplugs, so clearly they’re aware this is ann issue. Overall excellent, would stay again!
