    The receptionist checked for us if breakfast was included an he said it was included,but when we arrived at the breakfast they said it was not included,that was disappointing cause when we were booking we really checked for the breakfast one

    The receptionist welcomed us with a champagne

    The hotel parking bays are very tight for a SUV. I've battled with the parking.

    The check-in process was pleasant. Have to compliment them on the quality and size of the towels. I'm traveling a lot and smaller things like the quality of towels makes a huge difference.

    The staff is friendly and the Hotel is well located to get around places in Cape Town CBD

    The shower curtain in the bathtub could be better to avoid water all over the floor after a shower. A floor towel was provided to mitigate this, which was appreciated.

    The room was comfortable, and I appreciated the radiator and ability to keep the temperature to my liking.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Fountains Hotel which is in an excellent location for walking around the Cape Town. A small supermarket is located next door and a larger supermarket, Checkers is close by. The George Street Mall was close by and walking tours of Cape Town were close by. The hotel is located across the road from Cape Town railway station. It is a pleasant 20 minute walk to the waterfront district. There was a pool which we didn't use because we visited in winter. The staff were friendly and obliging. The breakfast buffet was very good.

    Didn’t feel safe wandering around the area at night but much of Capetown is like that.

    Good hotel with nice breakfast and bar/ restaurant. Airport pick up arranged by hotel was fantastic. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Small supermarket nearby.

    The curtains don't close all the way so the light comes into the room. It is hard to sleep. The bathroom piles also make a noise at night making it hard to have peaceful rest. The television light is a problem as well as the lights from outside. It shines in your face.

    I liked the size of the room. I liked the shower. The water was hot.

    The booking I made through Booking.com said it was a double room but at the hotel they received a single room booking. Not cool. I had to change rooms. Thanks to the great staff at Fountains Hotel. This is not the first time I have such challenges with Booking.com and accommodation. In East London they could not find a reservation I had made through Booking.com. A real inconvenience being so far away from home. So I had stand at reception area for a long time.

    When it’s windy doors rattle, and room doors are easily slammed if guests don’t take care.

    A good buffet breakfast and dinner.
