The Grey was great. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Lovely room - No 4 with terrace with views of Table Mountain. Bathroom compact but large shower with good water pressure. Located at top of a hill so be prepared for walk back up after a day sight seeing.

Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. Great location, cute & clean rooms but the staff were our favorite. Everyone was very helpful and Warren set us up with wine on the rooftop in the evenings, which had an amazing view of table mountain. Great spot with a cozy feel. Would definitely recommend

The hotel is clean, has a nice artsy vibe. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be better. Most things we wanted to see were 10 to 20mns walking distance, and the neighborhood of the location was beautiful, with plenty of coffee shops, small boutiques and colorful houses.

Very service-oriented staff in a convenient place
Staff was polite and beyond amazing. They gave us good advices on the safety of the De Waterkant area (generally safe to walk around at night as there are a lot of security staff stationed around). Since we stayed in winter their Skybar and Pianobar was closed, but they had a breakfast area which served very tasty breakfast. There was also the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village Mall nearby which had a SPAR supermarket which met all our needs. De Waterkant is one of the recommended place to stay in Cape Town if you want to be near the V&A Waterfront and CBD. The room which we stayed (Room 10) was also spacious and had enough room for 2 people. I strongly recommend this hotel.

Lovley stay at the Grey Hotel
The hotel is lovely but you can not be disabled or over sized it has a nice atmosphere but we could have got more information from the reception about the restaurant and the surroundings. The breakfast could have some improvements but the staff was interested and fixed what ever problem you could have. The reception could have also informed that there are pool towels to borrow. Great close to the waterfront and the BooKap so nice area to stay in. Lovley restaurant and also other interesting places with good food
