The location of Signal Hill Lodge only one kilometre from center of Cape Town is very nice!! If you want to climb up to the lodge from the center - it is not easiest job but luckily you can use also taxi. People in hotel are very friendly and helpful.

My family and I stayed for a week in June. It is spotlessly clean. The rooms are large with balconies overlooking the city, with stunning views. Breakfast was full English or any part of it. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, danish pastries, bread jam, cereal, fruit juice. The Staff are friendly and helpful. The are is quiet and not a sole about at night. It was very good value. I would recommend to anyone travelling to Cape Town

Signal hill lodge was great. The only downside is that it is not practical to walk to any place with food or shops from this location. I did not have a car so I ended up using Uber everyday.

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!
