Old and new meet in perfect harmony at The Three Boutique Hotel, with the conversion of this beautiful National Monument building into a stylish and affordable 18 bedroom boutique hotel in the heart of Cape Town. Owned and run by Justin & Natalia Pearson and their close friends Alun & Julie Jones, the service stands out as being exceptional, from the first email, to collection at the airport and looking after you during your Cape Town holiday or business trip. Steeped in hospitality from years of working on cruise ships, Justin and Natalia embody the perfect hosts. The Three Boutique Hotel fills the gap between a too-homely guest house and an impersonal hotel. It's exactly the right balance of chic surroundings, 4-star facilities and friendly service. The Three is modern and sophisticated Cape Town hotel accommodation with an historic heart in a trendy part of Cape Town. It offers free WiFi throughout, air conditioning, spacious bedrooms with flat screen TVs and en-suite bathrooms. A columned terrace tiled in traditional black and white wraps around the house leading to the designer swimming pool and outdoor lounge. The rooftop deck adds another dimension for sunbathing and sunset drinks, with unparalleled views of Cape Town's three iconic mountains: Table Mountain, Lions Head and Devil's Peak, after which The Three is named. Cape Town International Airport is just 17km away and our airport shuttle can be booked to collect you or drop you off. The hotel shuttle is also available throughout the day for personalized tours as well as in the evenings to take you to and from restaurants. Many of Cape Town's top tourist sights are within walking distance and The Gardens shopping center is just a 3 minute walk.

I can’t say that I was blown away my six-night stay at the Three Boutique Hotel. I frequently come to Cape Town and prefer to stay in the Oranjezicht area. I doubt that I would return. Various issues: 1. Room was not clean on arrival. Housekeeping was called and issues pointed out. 2. The courtyard outside room 16 was not swept until the next day. There were many leaves. 3. There was a water pressure issue on Tuesday. Water was switched off on Wednesday. 4. Fridge did not work in room 16 for the duration of my stay. 5. On the Thursday night I returned home – it was rainy – there was a puddle on the carpet as I stepped inside. I reported this Friday morning. It was not attended to during the day and when I raised this with the front desk they wanted to move me to another room upstairs at 5.30pm which was very inconvenient as I needed to leave. I started moving items upstairs but needed to leave so housekeeping transferred my items – to room 2 downstairs. 6. Housekeeping broke my shampoo bottle but didn’t report this to me. They just cleaned it up and I no longer had shampoo. What is good: 1. There is an unbelievable view from the top deck – reception won’t tell you about it though. 2. The breakfasts and the position of the guest house are excellent. It’s very charming. 3. The rooms are well appointed. I sent this two different email addresses prior to posting here. No response from the establishment. I think this tells you what you need to know.

We ADORED The Three Boutique Hotel. Rooms were nice & clean. Great bed & bathroom. Nice balcony to enjoy my morning coffee. In the safe Garden District, but still, they have a security gate. Very quite at night. Breakfast every morning was scrumptious! But the best part of Three Boutique are the people & staff. Everyone was so very nice and cheerful. They made us feel like family

My third visit to this charming hotel. Such an amazing oasis in the big city! The staff are superb in attending to and accommodating their guests. The breakfast daily is superb. Who doesn’t love to have Eggs Benedict every morning! The rooms are spacious, beds comfy and the bathrooms are well appointed. I can’t say enough about the management, staff and accommodations. This will always be my go to hotel when in Cape Town.

What this property lacked in certain amenities (iron, electrical outlet in bathroom) was certainly compensated for in hospitality, warmth and friendliness. This property is somewhat out of the way as far as access to the waterfront, museums, beaches, attractions, etc; all requiring a cab or Uber. The included breakfast was moderate but filling and freshly-prepared per order. The room was large with the bathroom encompassing 50-percent of total square-footage. Although I wasn't completely comfortable with a door-lock requiring a key to exit the room, I became used to it. The maid staff were great and attentive and the reception crew provided the proverbial "cherry-on-top" with their kindness and smiles. During my 6-day stay, I quickly came to knew each of them and considered them "family" up to my check-out. My room's carpet could use replacing due to the evident wear-and-tear and slight smell of mold (most likely from the heavy rainy-season). If you are looking for peace & quiet all the while being treated like VIPs, I highly recommend this property.

The hotel is away from the town centre in a quiet suburb, and is a small converted colonial house. The rooms were a good size, with all modern amenities and there were excellent views of Table Mountain from the roof terrace. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful, providing a small welcome buffet with champagne, on our arrival. They also provided a packed breakfast for one of our early excursions. Overall a pleasure to stay there.

Wonderful stay wonderful staff After a delay with our last flight from Johannesburg we arrived at midnight and greeted with a warm smile and shown to our room. The rooms are very spacious and had a very cosy feel and bed comfy. We enjoyed our breakfasts with a buffet selection of fruits, cereals, yogurts toast etc along with a menu to chose a hot meal. We enjoyed our 4 night stay and would highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay

We are very sorry that your stay was not up to your expectations and we have taken your feedback on board to ensure this does not happen again. Take care The Three team

On my own - solo travel can feel a little lonely! Arrived and was immediately welcomed and helped with my luggage from the vehicle. Check in simple, and then to room number 3. On the ground floor next to the pool. Spacious and beautifully furnished. Very comfortable bed, tea/coffee facilities and a great bathroom. Breakfast had a good choice. Wifi was good and the view from the deck of the Hotel splendid.
