Lonely Planet "The sugar-pink painted ‘Nellie’ recalls Cape Town’s colonial era with its chintz decor and doormen in pith helmets."
DK Eyewitness "A colonial masterpiece and Cape Town’s most famous hotel, the “Pink Lady” is at the foot of Table Mountain."
Rough Guide "Set in extensive established gardens, with arrival along a palm-lined colonnade, its location is unbeatable – the city centre is on the doorstep – but you pay through the nose for what you get."
Time Out "Since it opened in 1899, the city's undisputed grande dame has played host to a slew of dignitaries and stars and it continues to be a hotel of choice for well-heeled travellers." Full review

Time Out "A popular bet for visiting film crews and movie industry types (they have rooms especially for your equipment and props), this hotel offers convenience, service and good facilities at doable prices." Full review
Star Service "The industrial look lends itself to a business atmosphere, and corporate guests are a regularity. But, the hotel's free shuttle to the surrounding area makes it easy for tourists to get around, too.

Lonely Planet "Vintage suitcases hang on the lobby walls like artwork at this Protea hotel offering something edgier than usual, with industrial loft-style rooms and self-catering apartments with exposed brick walls." Full review
