I had a wonderful experience at the Happy Rhino. Most of the staff were delightful and eager to help”

My partner and I booked an apartment at Happy Rhino for three, the apartment was extremely clean and the cleaners were available on-call for whenever you needed them, the place was very comfortable, and the staff was amazing particularly Candice whom is the manager and Prince their handyman was ready to assist with any arising challenges. They went over and beyond to help make the duration of our stay enjoyable and pleasurable. I highly recommend Happy Rhino for anyone visiting downtown Cape Town for short and long term bookings. They were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in early at like 10am. We got to hotel super early and I didn’t want to wait. So this was a big plus for us. The service was exceptional as well. Would definitely send a friend there.

We really enjoyed it just we shouldn't have taken the cheapest rooms, as we wanted self catering and a balcony, but those were top floors as we didn't know about it, but it was an awesome stay with the night life in the next street.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel it was really a good experience just had an issue with two staff members who work at the reception one is a dark guy who I think works during the day he gave me an uncleaned room he never checked with the housekeeping if the room was done yet but luckily I met Sam the manager he sorted things out in no time with the help of the head of housekeeping they both quickly got me clean and tidy room the other guy works at night I think he’s name is Nick he’s not people friendly I mean in an industry of people you gotta make sure the guest is fine from when you greet each other, overall everyone was so friendly and helpful from housekeeping to management everyone except the two I’m happy and I’ll come back again very soon
