Stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. Great location, cute & clean rooms but the staff were our favorite. Everyone was very helpful and Warren set us up with wine on the rooftop in the evenings, which had an amazing view of table mountain. Great spot with a cozy feel. Would definitely recommend

The Grey was great. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Lovely room - No 4 with terrace with views of Table Mountain. Bathroom compact but large shower with good water pressure. Located at top of a hill so be prepared for walk back up after a day sight seeing.

The hotel is clean, has a nice artsy vibe. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be better. Most things we wanted to see were 10 to 20mns walking distance, and the neighborhood of the location was beautiful, with plenty of coffee shops, small boutiques and colorful houses.
