Casually elegant lodgings. We stayed in the Annex which is an economy suite, but felt we had our own little piece of privacy. The common areas are beautifully appointed with original art nicely displayed. The staff is highly friendly and attentive. They have superb restaurant suggestions and they will help you with reservations, taxi, and all and sundry. Breakfast included is a very nice option. The owner is not a bad bloke either!

Out of season Cape Town

Got a fab out of season deal, around 70% saving. Was upgraded at no extra cost. I stayed in room 9. Reminds me of lush Durban, palm trees and funky decor of the room. Just a pity internet is really bad. So if you plan to have a lazy night in, bring own DVDs or downloaded movies along, can watch on TV in room

Charming guesthouse with fantastic staff

Cape Standard was our first stop after arriving in South Africa and it made a great impression! The room was very chic with a stylish bathroom, and the terrace at the back of the property was a gorgeous haven where we felt instantly relaxed after our travels. We were also able to eat breakfast out there on each morning of our stay which was such a treat. The guesthouse is situated in a good spot in Greenpoint, and was around a 20 minute walk to the waterfront area, though one evening we did decide to drive it instead. There was some construction work taking place behind the hotel, which wasn't an issue for most of our stay due to it being the weekend, but it could scupper a lie in during the week!

Excellent entry to Cape Town

The welcome at the Cape Standard couldn't have been better. From early emails to Margot about airport transfers and car rental, to the warm greeting we received from Paddington upon our late-night arrival, the dinner recommendations and reservations, plus general tips on getting around the city, the delicious breakfast, and the beautiful design of the place, we felt at home immediately. Really we couldn't ask for more. Cape Standard is a find.

We stayed at the Cape Standard for 4 nights. We were looked after really well from the minute we walked in until we left. The room was very modern and comfortable and the communal areas are well decorated and relaxing. Breakfast was simple but delicious each day and the service we received was brilliant. A special thanks to Paddington, he was a great host, always smiling and nothing was ever too much trouble.
