Excellent location for us as we were going to a show at the DHL Stadium which was a 10 minute walk away. We could also easily walk to the Waterfront. Staff were excellent, extremely friendly and willing. Room was a good size with an enormous bed.

Parking out front is limited to 4 cars although there is additional space further along the road. It was 36 degrees in Cape Town while we were there and while the aircon worked well, there was no fridge in the room to keep water cold. There is a small swimming pool in the garden area but not heated and in shadow most of the day so very cold.

Excellent breakfast, coffee/tea and cake of the day available in the afternoon. Small bar with snacks. Great staff, very helpful and accommodating. We had 3 different rooms, the first one had trouble with light fixtures and charging devices. They gave us a new room which was perfect. We stayed 3 nights pre-tour and 1 night post tour. Both rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. There are a couple of restaurants very close and a Woolworth's. It's about a 12-15 min walk to the V & A Waterfront. If you want to explore the CBD (good walking tours and museums) you will need to use a taxi or uber. We walked into CBD (about 2 km) but I wouldn't recommend that from a safety standpoint. Better to take a taxi or uber.

We stayed at Zest for two nights and had an amazing experience. Large and quiet room with nice interior design. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. There were enough parking lots reserved for hotel guests in front of the property and the overall premises felt safe. The entire staff made our stay very enjoyable and were happy to provide good recommendations. We experienced a long flight delay that made us arrive in Cape Town one day later than planned and the staff were very supportive and thoughtful. By chance, we later stayed at their sister hotel in Franschhoek, which delivered the same level of quality.

Excellent breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room has everything one would need and was immaculate. The dining room was also very pleasant. I would certainly use this hotel again and recommend it highly to friends. There were limited restaurants within walking distance, but one excellent one one block away. It really was not walkable to go to the waterfront from there, but the hotel would provide transportation. That really was not an issue for us.

I loved the location of the hotel and also that it is a smaller little place. Loved the breakfast options and coffee bar. Love love the staff!! They were all super friendly and so kind. Love the room and the view and rooftop place.

There was nothing to not like! Only little complaint was that the rooms are not very sound proof. We went to sleep early for our race the next day, and guest were particular loud and laughing going to their rooms. Which we understand to an extent that would happen, but this was a little louder than usual.

What a great stay we had. Great location, access, etc. but what made it very special was the staff. Managers Natalé and Yaseen went beyond great as did Tatenda and Sange, Curtley and Chuma. Peter drove us and saved the day with his expert driving and friendliness. A wonderful experience.

Everything was outstanding. Great value for the money in a wonderful location near the waterfront. But it was the staff that made the difference. This small boutique hotel is in a very nice neighborhood and close to shops, restaurants and the waterfront.

The rooms felt spacious and were spotlessly clean. Staff were incredible: professional, warm, and they went out of their way to accommodate our complicated trip plans. The pool area is inviting and comfortable. The rooftop terrace offers a great view of Cape Town's harbor and hills. The assortment of foods for breakfast is fabulous. Convenient location to nearby restaurants, a short ride to Table Mountain, and it's within walking distance of the famed V&A (Victoria and Albert) Waterfront.

Really nothing we disliked. Construction was going on next door (December 2023), so it was noisy during work hours at the outdoor seating areas.

We adore Zest Boutique and the lovely staff there. It was our second time staying, and although we didn't recognise any of the staff from 17 months ago (we'd grown very fond of those who had looked after us back then), we were wonderfully well looked after by a fantastically attentive and very friendly team. Their "good morning"s and "welcome back"s were a lovely way to start and end our long days in Cape Town - it's a beautiful hotel and the staff make it feel like home. Last time, we stayed in the 'pool room' Xanadu, and we loved it so much that when we realised it was in the same bracket/tier as the room we'd booked this time, we asked if we could switch. Quite a big ask, and a cheeky one too, but they rushed into action to make it happen for us, and did so smiling. The customer service and friendly smiles really make this already great hotel shine even brighter.

The staff at the Zest were excellent; helpful, polite and professional. They bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They are a great team.

The construction next door made the whole outside area noisy and dusty. This meant we couldn’t enjoy the pool or the top of the roof fully. Our balcony and air conditioning unit was also full of dust.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was exceptional. Nat and Faye were especially kind and helpful. No request was too big. My flight was cancelled and they booked me a room in their sister property last minute. The location is great and everything is a ten minute Uber ride away. There was a lot of security and I felt safe as a solo female traveler.

My room was below the breakfast area so I could hear chairs moving above me starting early, 7 am. Also the kitchen was right next to my room so I heard dishes clattering. It would be helpful to have some soundproofing for this particular room.
