Pocket-friendly Cape Town Accommodation


If you’re looking for pocket friendly luxury accommodation, Cape Town is your port of call.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect – Paul Theroux

There is no doubt in my mind that Paul Theroux coined this phrase while standing on the bed in a box room, heaving his suitcase in to close the door. All of this unfortunately cannot happen at once in hotel rooms in most world cities. If you’re on a budget, that is.

One hundred pounds will get you a one-star hotel room in New York and two stars in London or Venice according to the Hotels.com Hotel Price Index 2014*. In Cape Town, on average, you’ll get a four-star hotel room for £100 a night**. Here’s a selection ranging from luxurious guesthouses to comfortable hotel rooms and top of the range backpackers with a healthy dose of comfort, if not downright glamour:
