Thank you to Mark and the team for a wonderful, fautless stay. Plenty of shops and several food options round the corner. Such a peaceful and relaxing experience. A delicious breakfast served by a lovely team. Great for working peacefully. And a beautiful short walk for meetings at UCT Upper and Middle Campus. Hope to have a reason to return in the future.

I have stayed here before, but the last time was before the pandemic. The first thing they said when I arrived was, "it's lovely having you stay with use again." The staff is amazing. As are the house pooches.

This is a cute guest house. It is definitely 3* in terms of standard. They do offer a bathrobe and everyone is really lovely. Good for short stays.

Scotia - Enjoyable Stay
We stayed at Little Scotia for 8 nights during Feb 2023.
The welcome was very warm and we were assisted even though we arrived earlier than the check in time.
We had Breakfast every morning and the choices were plentiful, although the cooked options could perhaps offer a little more.
Our rooms were of a nice size and the beds very large.
Pools were more for view than useful. not really somewhere to sit around, sadly.
The bar area was a big disappointment, basically a fridge. And the hotel did try to charge us for a bottle of wine that we never had, this was sorted quickly enough. All in all a nice hotel if you want a handy location and not luxury.

Really Lovely Hotel
Really lovely hotel with great staff for whom nothing is too much trouble; our room was very spacious and well equipped with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel has a lovely garden and some great areas to sit and relax and they serve a fabulous breakfast each morning with a wide selection of both hot and cold dishes. After our one week stay we would definitely visit again.

Nice little hotel
It was perfect! Nice little hotel with spacious rooms, friendly staff and a really good breakfast. It is not in Cape Town downtown but has a perfect location. The restaurant at the corner is a great option for dinner.
