Providing guests with bicycle rentals, the 2-star smoke-free Gordons Guesthouse Cape Town is located just 1.2 km from the Springbok Experience Rugby Museum. Enhancing the overall experience, this Cape Town guest house showcases a garden equipped with a patio area.

Location

The hotel is situated in the unforgettable part of Cape Town, not far from Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. The South African National Gallery is nearly 25 minutes' walk from the Gordons Guesthouse, while Cape Town International airport is 25 km from it.

The nearest bus stop is Silo, located merely 350 metres away, and Woodstock train station is 4.1 km away.

Rooms

The rooms comprise a patio and a balcony complete with air conditioning, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

Eat & Drink

The Atlantic Grill serves African cuisine and is located a mere 7 minutes' walk away.

“What strikes me most is how welcome guests feel; being picked up from the airport sets a warm tone echoed by the host's genuine hospitality, and I noticed the neighborhood is peaceful, providing a relaxed base. The option for breakfast delivery would enhance the experience, a minor tweak to an otherwise charming stay near the city center. I think it's a great option for travelers seeking a personal touch.”
