"Nicht weitersuchen, sondern gleich buchen!"
Meine Frau und ich waren für fünf Tage zu Gast bei Katrin im Upperbloem. Wir können dieses B&B nur empfehlen! Katrin ist sehr nett und stets hilfsbereit. Sie hat für uns einen Flughafentransfer und eine Townshiptour (sehr eindrucksvoll) organisiert. Auch bei der Buchung eines Mietwagens hat Katrin uns geholfen. Den Vermieter "Around About Cars" können wir ebenfalls empfehlen. Das Haus selbst liegt sehr zentral im Kapmalayenviertel. Unser Zimmer war sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet, insb. der Naturstein im Bad wirkt edel. Der Ausblick vom Balkon des Frühstückraumes ist wunderschön: Vor uns liegt die Stadt und die Waterfront, rechts der Tafelberg direkt vor der Nase.
Wir können das Upperbloem Guesthouse nur empfehlen!

"Charming hotel in Malay district"
Beautifully located, small (7 rooms) hotel in the Malay quarters of Cape Town. Prices very reasonable. Rooms clean and tastefully furnished. Breakfast self serve of good western standard (no full English breakfast but more than enough to make you happy). Friendly staff. Hotel is close to city centre and Long street, but the walk to the hotel from long street is very steep. Consider taking a taxi home (cost about R30) if you are not so fit. Area seemed safe (by South African standards) but consider to take a taxi home after sunset. Beautiful surroundings in the Malay quarters and a nice view from the hotel balcony. We are overall very pleased and can recommend this hotel which is guaranteed value for money. Patrik Apr2011

Wir haben eine Woche im Upperbloem in Kapstadt verbracht und es war einfach sehr schön! Eher durch Zufall sind wir auf dieses Guesthouse gestoßen und dachten uns: das ist perfekt für uns. Wir sind beide 19 Jahre und für unseren Geldbeutel war das Upperbloem einfach spitzenmäßig. Unser Zimmer "Mountain-view" war sehr sauber, schön eingerichtet und der Blick auf den Tafelberg war einfach unbezahlbar! Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich! Ein Highlight war es immer auf dem Balkon zu sitzen, das Frühstück zu genießen und einfach einen sehr schönen Blick über ganz Kapstadt zu haben.
Das Viertel Bo-Kaap, indem Upperbloem, liegt besticht durch die schönen bunten Häuser und die netten Menschen. Von der Moschee wurden wir nur am ersten Morgen geweckt ansonsten war dies kein Problem.
Die Besitzerin Katrin war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und gab uns einige gute Tipps!
Ein Erlebnis war es jedesmal mit dem Mietwagen die doch sehr steilen Straßen hoch zu fahren! :D
Zu Fuß konnte man gut Green Market Square (~10min) erreichen und wer auch länger laufen will kann dies tun und zur Waterfront laufen (~40min).
Wir würden definitiv nächstes mal wieder ins Upperbloem gehen! :)
