This is one of my favourite apartment hotels ever in Cape Town. Great location, welcoming, kind and professional staff, stellar security and amenities. I truly felt at home and always safe. Activities and surrounding areas are just a walk away from the hotel too or a ride away. Our host Laz was honestly the best, always made us feel comfortable and safe, with top recommendations of things to do. I will definitely be back!

Lovely clean room with spectacular views! The staff was courteous and friendly—the amenities, however, left a little to be desired: a roll of paper towels and some tissue would have been useful.

This was one of our favorite Hotels.com stays. The apartment was spotless & elegant and yet comfortable & cozy at the same time, with a fantastic view. Laz welcomed us warmly on arrival and ensured we knew how the building security worked, and offered tips for the local area. Will definitely keep it in mind for our next Cape Town visit!

We loved the friendly and personal check in with Laz. The apartment was spacious and small touches that made a helpful difference were having some dish soap and laundry soap available in the room and the binder with information about where to eat, how to get room service etc. The check in about how our stay was going via WhatsApp after a few days was also very thoughtful and appreciated. We would absolutely stay at Urban Elephant again!

We have just returned from the most amazing stay at Urban Elephant 16 on Bree. The apartment exceeded all expectations, more spacious than the photos inferred, fully equipped and located centrally. The staff were great, in particular Laz the Guest Relations Manager, he was available for any queries or booking enquiries we had, nothing was a problem, a truly conscientious person who generally cares about his job and the satisfaction of guests.
