Really good Dining Experience

“The food at the Granary Cafe was truly really good. I had breakfast and dinner here multiple times, and it was consistently great. The a la carte menu was extensive, filled with delicious options, and my husband declared it one of the best breakfasts he has ever had. The pastries were divine, and the overall dining experience was enhanced by the warm and attentive service.” view full review

Very nice Spa Treatment

“I had the pleasure of visiting the spa at The Silo during my stay, and it was absolutely very nice. I had Kashiefa as my masseuse, and she offered the best massage of my life. She was attentive to my concerns and skillfully used various techniques to relieve stress and tension, particularly in my neck and hips. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long week, and I left feeling rejuvenated.” view full review

Luxurious Room Amenities

“My stay in the Beautiful Superior Suite was nothing short of lovely. The room featured floor-to-ceiling windows that provided amazing views of the city and mountains. It was spacious and decorated with luxurious bedding, including heated bathroom floors, a large soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. I also loved the complimentary snacks and treats available in the mini-bar, which made for a good indulgence.” view full review

Fine Rooftop Bar

“The rooftop bar at The Silo Hotel was a highlight of my stay. With its lovely views of Cape Town, it provided the perfect setting to enjoy drinks. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, making it a must-visit spot during my trip. I loved every second spent there, and the cocktails were as excellent as the panoramic vistas.” view full review
