Traveller reviews
yuval “Nice people, really. But regarding the private room: the value for the money is not satisfying.”

Justin “Best Cape Town stay”
19 May 2026
This is one of the best accommodations we’ve stayed at in almost decade of traveling. The staff were so helpful and friendly, constantly making our stay feel like home. The shared social areas are amazing. Breakfast is great. There’s a pool, multiple kitchens and lounge areas, refrigerators for guests. Everything you could need to feel comfortable. The location is very central and convenient. Free parking. We would stay here again any time we visited Cape Town.

Great place to stay in Cape Town! The staff was so amazing, the place was tastefully designed, and the breakfast was really nice! We got rooms with private bathrooms, and it was really great!
Emma “Great stay at The BIG”
12 May 2026
Fantastic stay at The Big in Green Point. Great location in a centrally-located-but-not-hectic and safe neighbourhood with lots of cafes nearby. Incredible team of staff (e.g. Chantelle, Joceline, John plus the rest) - super fun, kind, helpful and enthusiastic; they watch out for you. Beautiful interiors including the common areas and bedroom, homely vibe, very clean including the bathrooms, and a simple breakfast included. Quiet and calm. Would recommend and return in the future.
