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.

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.

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!

Nice hotel but cold in winter. Arriving in a cold room in winter is not pleasant. Apart from that the hotel is nice and the breakfast good.
