“Green Point's hippo”
In a lively district near good restaurants and shops — no Sea Point-style traffic jams, a big car park behind — Hippo Boutique Hotel is a great stunning stay: a huge spacious clean light Deluxe upgraded room with quiet inner-yard windows, pleasant bedding, a comfy bed and pillows, photo-true rooms, wonderful staff and a much-liked downstairs-cafe or nearby-cafe-voucher breakfast. Cautions: no on-site food per one and evening noise, earplugs save it.
