    I came to Cape Town for one night - everything was excellent. The room was a nice size, tastefully decorated, fairly clean bathroom. The breakfast was large and delicious with hot options. The location was excellent and absolutely perfect, staff were attentive. Ate at Cocky's Restaurant, it's not too far from the venue.

    I absolutely loved the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the guesthouse. The interior decoration was charming, with beautiful furniture and warm colors that made me feel right at home. The common areas were well-maintained and easily accessible for senior people like myself. It was easy to navigate around the guesthouse and I could relax and enjoy the lovely surroundings.

    I would have appreciated the children working there to provide more assistance specifically tailored for senior guests.

    I recently stayed at Riversong Lodge for a short visit and had a wonderful experience. The owner, Inri, along with the staff, Aaron and Charmaine, were extremely welcoming and helpful. They provided excellent service, including printing documents and giving great advice on local attractions. The rooms were spotless and quiet, and the breakfasts were delicious and creatively prepared. The location of the hotel is perfect, with shops, restaurants, and coffee shops all within walking distance. I especially loved the thoughtful touch of having delicious cookies in the room and a water dispenser at the entrance where I could fill up my glass bottle.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    My friends and I had such an amazing time in Cape Town, thanks to our stay at Riversong. The location is super convenient, with awesome places like the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain just a short drive away. The staff at Riversong were so cool and friendly, always there to help us and give recommendations on the best nightlife spots. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed, plus the breakfast was top-notch. We felt like true adventurers exploring Cape Town from our awesome base at Riversong!

    If I had to ask for one thing, it would be more vibrant party vibes. Don't get me wrong, we still had a blast, but it would've been even more fun if the hotel had some cool events or parties specifically for young party-goers like us.
