Nestled in the vibrant Gardens district of Cape Town, More Quarters Neighbourhood Hotel offers a unique blend of apartment-style living with the luxury of hotel amenities.
Situated just off the lively Kloof Street, this boutique hotel provides guests with a serene retreat while being steps away from some of the city’s best eateries, shops, and attractions.
The Hotel
Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the attentive staff, setting the tone for a memorable stay. The hotel comprises several converted heritage townhouses, giving it a charming village-like ambiance. My accommodation was a spacious one-bedroom apartment, thoughtfully designed to combine comfort with style. The living area, adorned with contemporary furnishings, led into a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for those who appreciate the option to dine in. The bedroom exuded coziness, and the en-suite bathroom, featuring both a shower and a bathtub, added a touch of luxury. Amenities such as air conditioning, a satellite television, and complimentary Wi-Fi ensured a comfortable and connected stay.
Travelling families will find More Quarters particularly accommodating. The hotel offers several interleading rooms and four two-bedroom apartments, providing ample space for families of various sizes. The staff goes above and beyond, offering amenities such as cots, high chairs, and even bath toys for younger guests. The concierge is well-versed in family-friendly activities, ensuring that both parents and children have a memorable stay.
The dining
Each morning, guests are treated to a delightful breakfast in the hotel’s garden-themed breakfast room. The spread includes fresh fruits, homemade granola, local cheeses, and a selection of hot dishes made to order. The plant-filled setting, complemented by available magazines and newspapers, creates a relaxed atmosphere to start the day. In the afternoons, complimentary tea and cake are served in the lounge, and by evening, guests can enjoy bar snacks accompanied by a glass of wine or port, fostering a convivial environment. For dinner, guests can venture next door to Upper Union, a stylish restaurant serving contemporary cuisine inspired by South African flavours.

One of More Quarters’ standout features is its prime location. The bustling Kloof Street, known for its array of restaurants, bars, and boutiques, is just a short stroll away. For those keen on sightseeing, the hotel offers scheduled transfers within a 6-kilometer radius, making it convenient to visit iconic spots like the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain. The staff’s local knowledge is invaluable, offering personalised recommendations and assisting with reservations to ensure guests experience the best of Cape Town.
