Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, SunSquare Cape Town Gardens, in City Bowl, is one of those. The setting is part of the appeal, within an easy walk of the city centre, and the location score sits in reasonable territory because of it. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out on-site parking, an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,100 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €101 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, SunSquare Cape Town Gardens reads as one of those Cape Town addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
