    Stylish place, I thoroughly enjoyed really good personnel.

    my room facing the city was huge and beautifully designed. i had central heating, an electronic key card, and a work desk in it. the location was marvellous, around 4-6 minutes' walk from a cobbled square.

    The location was particularly good and perfect, at a moderate distance from Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village Neighbourhood. Moreover, it was close to many performances that can go on for hours, Saint George's Mall and nearby area in the City Bowl and Greenmarket Square...

    spacious stylish rooms
    rattly windows

    An eclectic escape in the city

    The Old Bank Hotel offers a good ambiance with spacious and stylish rooms, and the warm hospitality from the staff. Breakfast was a culinary highlight with a variety of healthy options to choose from.

    On the downside, the windows were somewhat rattly and allowed outside sounds to filter in. A windy night resulted in some banging, which disrupted my sleep until I found a clever fix with some clothes.

    safe environment
    lack privacy
    poor cleanliness

    spacious rooms, large windows, 24/7 security

    No blackout curtains in the room resulted in a significant lack of privacy!!! Cleanliness needs attention as I discovered crumbs in various spots within the room!!! Unusual reception location on the 8th floor while my room was on the 5th!!!

    Staff were accommodating, going out of their way to help me when I needed to track down a lost phone. The overall vibe of the hotel felt a bit tired, and noise from the street became an issue at night, but the convenience of the location was a definite plus.

    rattly windows
    street noise

    The room was super comfortable, spacious, and modern. I couldn't hear my neighbors, a huge plus. Just a heads up, though-when the street noise kicked up, it was noticeable. The windows were a bit rattly, but nothing a piece of paper couldn't fix! Great spot in the heart of the city!
