Location
The hotel is in Cape Town's CBD, 20 km from the airport. Greenmarket Square, Company's Garden, and Bo Kaap are within walking distance. The Hop-on Hop-off bus stop is around the corner. V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain are a short Uber ride away. The area has markets and shops during the day but feels less safe at night; the hotel has 24-hour security at the entrance. Valet parking costs R145 per day. Airport shuttle is available for a fee.

The hotel also provides packed lunches and a coffee house on site.
“The Old Bank Hotel stands out for its exceptionally attentive staff who genuinely make an effort to go the extra mile. Its central location is a definite advantage, placing guests within easy reach of key city attractions and transport links, while the modern, clean rooms within the heritage building provide a comfortable base. I particularly appreciated the quality of the breakfast, a well-executed spread that sets a positive tone for the day.”
