39 V&A Waterfront Road, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa1.4 km from centreShow on map
Tucked into a side street in V&A Waterfront, Hotel Saffron is easy to walk past and hard to forget. Guests rate it for record players in every room and curated neighbourhood guide. The courtyard is the best seat in the building between five and seven.

Very happy indeed
Breakfast is worth getting up for: seasonal fruit, the morning coffee made to order and fruit that tasted of something. We upgraded to the Signature Room and would do it again without thinking.
Shower pressure drops off when the floor is busy at about seven.

Would book again tomorrow
Room service arrived in fifteen minutes at half past ten, which is why I book here.
The car park is a ten-minute walk and costs more per night than I expected.

Small room, great location
We arrived hours early and they took the cases without a fuss, then messaged when the room was ready. Records in the room, a proper armchair and the morning coffee that would hold up in any city.
Blackout blinds would make a difference in November, when it is bright by eight.

Clean and quiet, close to everything
Fifteen rooms, one very good coffee machine and a courtyard nobody talks in above a murmur.
No screens on the windows, so it is a choice between the heat and the mosquitoes.

Perfectly decent
Firm mattress, which is exactly how I like it. They lent me an umbrella on the wet Tuesday and did not ask for it back until I left.
The car park is a five-minute walk and costs more per night than I expected.

Slept like a stone
Somebody has thought about the tiling, and it shows in a way photographs do not capture.
The walk back to the station on the Monday, and that is scraping.
