This boutique hotel has a luxurious feel with beautiful and spacious rooms, but the noise from the bar across the street can be quite bothersome, especially at night. While the breakfast is satisfying and the staff is incredibly helpful, the cleanliness of the room could use some attention. Overall, it's a great option if you’re looking to enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Long Street.

Being right on Long Street puts you in the heart of Cape Town's nightlife, which is fantastic for party-goers but might not be ideal for those seeking quiet.

I had a mixed experience at the Urban Chic Hotel. The welcoming manager and thoughtful room amenities were a nice touch, but the slow Wi-Fi and noisy atmosphere made things less enjoyable. Breakfast was hit or miss, and the bathroom issues caused some stress. Overall, I appreciated the effort that was made to make my stay special, but I left wanting more in terms of comfort and quietness.

The Urban Chic Boutique Hotel boasts a perfectly central location on Long Street, offering breathtaking views of Table Mountain and easy access to vibrant nightlife. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the noise levels from the street can be disruptive. While the service is generally helpful, some staff interactions leave much to be desired. Breakfast is enjoyable but may not meet everyone's expectations. Overall, it’s a good option for those who prioritize location and views but be wary of potential noise disturbances.

We celebrated our anniversary at the Urban Chic Hotel and had a mix of experiences. The room had stunning views and was clean with simple decor, but the noise from the street made it hard to sleep. The staff's effort to accommodate us with non-alcoholic drinks was a nice touch, but the slow Wi-Fi and issues with breakfast and room maintenance detracted from our stay. Overall, it offered some positives, but there were significant downsides too.
