Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed reviews on comfort and facilities — While many guests enjoy their stay, the hotel's comfort and facility ratings are lower than its service and location scores, suggesting some inconsistency.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is available only from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving very late at night or expecting earlier access.

7.3Verified guest“The double room was well maintained and bright, with a good view of Table Mountain. The hotel's position was marvellous – close to all the necessary bus stops and within walking distance of attractions and the stadium. The Café Ou Meul Bakkery, about a kilometre away, was a pleasant surprise.”
7.3Verified guest“The hotel's location was great and lovely, right in the city centre.”
7.3Verified guest“A fabulous place that was fairly clean, with very good staff who handled the reservation. I booked a room with exceptionally good views of the fountains and Table Mountain. The hotel was close to De Waterkant and the Waterfront, as well as Greenmarket Square. The main bar was on site.”
7.3Verified guest“The warm welcome from the concierge was notable. Reception staff were helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. The hotel's proximity to the railway station was perfect for catching the Rovos Rail, and the airport bus was also close. We could walk to the Company Gardens and the Waterfront, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed.”
7.3Verified guest“Breakfast was excellent, the rooms were clean, and the sauna was a good facility to use.”
7.3Verified guest“Staying at Fountains Hotel was interesting. We were warmly welcomed and assisted by the friendly staff. I would encourage anyone visiting Cape Town to book this hotel, which is in a safe area at all times. – Bongani Hlophe”
