DoubleTree by Hilton Cape Town - Upper Eastside
Staff was amazing, room was very spacious but lacked amenities like blowdryer. Location of the hotel was perfect for everything we wanted to do (we were in the pick up radius for many tours). Would stay there again

Modern airport hotel perfect for an overnight stay. Good facilities and breakfast, friendly staff. Free shuttle every 30 minutes. Almost close enough to the airport to walk with light bags but this is not encouraged for safety reasons
