The Tudor Hotel is conveniently located on Greenmarket Square, adjacent to the Park Inn, which happens to have an intimate and cosy bar. It is the oldest hotel in Cape Town and therefore has such oddities as a minute, cranky elevator and somewhat small rooms. There is no restaurant or bar on the premises, but plenty of those are in the direct vicinity so it didn’t pose a problem. The Tudor does, however, have a full breakfast buffet. This was ample but tended to be a bit monotonous after the second morning and some of the cheeses and cold meats were looking rather tired after having been presented more than once. All was forgiven in view of the friendly staff and the absolutely perfect location of the hotel within walking distance to most of the attractions. The downside, considering the smallness of the room and the noisiness of the market early in the morning, was the price… there are cheaper and more comfortable lodgings to be found in Cape Town.
