First time I was at Ashanti was in 2007 and now I came back with my parents and family (including my todler.) We stayed at the Guesthouses which are not in the main building (where we had to go to have breakfast and get general info). For elder people that was not the easiest move but still, they managed it and loved the breakfast! Rooms were good and the staff was amazing, as always!

They are closing the Backpackers and I got really sad about this news! They are going to keep the guesthouse though. We all know SA has some insects and we found some in our rooms. We informed the reception and well it can happen anywhere with summer heat!

Ashanti Gardens Guesthouse exceeded all my expectations. It was an exceptional experience from start to the end. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The staff at Ashanti Guesthouse went above and beyond to make my stay memorable and I felt right at home. My room was spacious, immaculately clean, comfortable bed, and featured a stunning view of the nearby Table Mountain. The location is another big plus because it is within walking distance to almost all of Cape Town's top attractions including restaurants, shops, & public transport. Ashanti Guesthouse is a true gem in Cape Town, offering outstanding service, comfortable accommodations, and a prime location. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay in this beautiful city. I can't wait to return!

Very clean, I mean to details even hidden areas. Quality cooking equipment and amenities never depleted and good quality. A quiet and safe place. The staff is very friendly always willing to assist where possible (I could even ask for a convenient checkout time as I was there for Sanlam Capetown Marathon and I was assisted). Thanks for your flexibility where it allows.

All good

The most perfectly located guesthouse for central city bowl Cape Town but peaceful enough to be just above Company's Gardens and the main hustle. The staff were amazing, I was travelling with my mother and a lot of luggage and they sent a vehicle to take us from the backpackers check in to the guest house around the corner. The property is so secure, very clever setup with locks and setup and a huge wrap around patio. The rooms were so comfortable. An absolute gem, I will stay here on all future trips to Cape Town.

Great rooms, great location. Access to pool is nice. Comfy beds and clean rooms. Nice with an outdoor area and shared kitchen so you can cook your own food if you want.

A bit more info regarding the breakfast would be great, only the last day did I find out they actually serve a breakfast buffé if you arrive in time.. Because I eat late, I showed up 30 minutes before breakfast time was over (by this time they cleared away the buffé) and couldn´t figure out why the breakfast staff seemed not so happy ..

The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. It had a safe. It was a very secure entrance to the guesthouse. The staff at the backpackers location were exceptional and friendly always willing to help.

The 5 min walk down the street to the guesthouse, especially at night. As a solo traveler I felt unsafe, but I did what I could to be careful. I did have other people from my tour staying at the guesthouse but wasn't able to always have someone accompany me.

Our booking through booking.com indicated that our reservation included breakfast. on the morning we went through to the backpackers and were told that it was not included and had to pay extra for the breakfast. This was frustrating and a misleading statement either by the owner or booking.com - I specifically booked accommodation with breakfast included as we had an employee traveling with us.

i loved the location, its close to many interesting places. The house is ok and my room was fine, it was serviced, cleaned and had kettle and tea etc, the breakfast was good. the equipped kitchen is a plus though i haven;t used it.

Breakfast could include fruits and vegetables. Although the staff is nice some of them didn't know much and couldn't answer questions or be helpful.

I like the reception of the Staff especially in the morning when you come in for breakfast and when you go out to start the day, well done!

More Ventilation at the guest house at the kitchen Area when someone is cooking. This should be administered. Otherwise all was well. Nothing to complain.
