All Africa House (University of Cape Town)

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at All Africa House for the Two Oceans Marathon. The location was perfect, the breakfast was excellent and staff were very friendly. I am hoping to return for the Two Oceans Marathon in 2026 again :) .

All is well except there was not satellite during my stay in March/April 2025. Curtaining was an issue for people who love complete darkness when asleep. Otherwise a perfect accommodation, very quiet with reliable internet and spendid breakfast service. Highly recommend it

I stayed for 3 nights as I was graduating. The stay was incredible with a lovely room. The room was clean, with room servicer each day. I truly loved the "African hospitality" - it was an amazing stay! The location is also excellent when accessing local shops and/or getting to Cape Town CBD with a serene environment.

Well managed with super helpful and friendly staff. Breakfasts are really great - with a well-rounded and extremely tasty menu - I commend the chefs. The venue is centrally located near supermarkets, the Baxter Theatre, coffee shops and eateries, and easily accessible for deliveries (Uber Eats), and the complex is secure and access controlled. The rooms are comfortable with a really nice garden setting. Located on UCT grounds, means that one is surrounded by greenery, with a beautiful Mountain backdrop. And just 20 - 30 mins away from the ocean, in any direction.

I thought I had a good rate for my room when I booked online, but when I got to the venue, I realised that I had booked a room that had a shared bathroom and toilet! I had to upgrade to a 'suite' at considerable cost. The suite was very clean, neat and modern with a great bed. Unfortunately, there are no aircons, so it did get a bit uncomfortable. There was also Stage 6 loadshedding and the premises does not have a backup generator. To make matters worse, the building next door did have a backup generator that kicked in and kept me awake most of the night! The other issue I experienced was that the shower drains do not seem to be very efficient making it a bit unhygienic as you shower in a pool of water. Kettles are to be found in the common kitchen area (but the ingredients are in the room). So if you are hoping for a cup of coffee when you wake up, you will have to get dressed and go to the communal area.

I had a good time in the facility. This is one of the Best since i started traveling to other countries. I like the breakfast. The Nigerian guys in the receptions are exceptional, i love them. The like the bad space, the cleanliness of the environment, the quality of staff, The Cleaners were exceedingly good. Thanks
