I stayed at Little Scotia for two weeks. It is in a great location with quick access to the CBD, V&A, and all the nature spots like Table Mountain and the botanical gardens. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town.

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.

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.

Great location near UCT, clean modern comfortable rooms, very helpful staff, nice shower, nice breakfast. Only two very minor complaints: the internet in my room was unreliable (though better in my friend’s room), and I wished there were conditioner besides shampoo. Otherwise, perfect!

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.
