Beautiful property, situated in a very quiet street. Staff were very attentive and flexible as they facilitated two changes of plans to my schedule. Good value and tasty breakfast included. Would definitely stay again.

I highly recommend it. The property is clean, safe and quiet. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean and adequately stocked. The breakfast is to die for! Very delicious, nutritious, and in large portions that last you all day.

Calm beauty in the middle of the city
Riversong is everything you want in a guesthouse: stylish, clean, excellent staff, accommodating, attention to detail, small touches that make a difference. Located a 5 minute walk from Cavendish Square, Newlands sports ground and across Esme St from Sans Souci Girls High School, it is centrally located while also quiet even in the middle of a bustling work day. Highly recommended!

Thoughtful details and bucolic neighborhood
The hotel had everything I could imagine I might need from umbrellas to wine in the room. Very thoughtful details. Charles and the rest of the team were very welcoming. There is a nice living room space on the second floor which looks out at table mountain, the backyard, and the pool. I particularly liked working from there.

Great attention to detail. Wonderful friendly staff. Centrally situated and close to restaurants and shops. We had an overnight stay and absolutely loved our time. Experienced the roof top hot tub on a beautiful afternoon. By the way, try the five star breakfast. Thanks to all.

Friendly, professional, and a great central venue. It was serviced everyday and had an amazing cooked English breakfast daily. All the staff tried hard and were attentive to make us feel welcome. It's secure and the view of the mountain does make it extra special without having a 5 star hotel price. Lots of good restaurants close by.
