Accommodation in Cape Town

The luxury guide carries the largest shortlist at 12 entries, followed by the where-to-stay and boutique guides at 10 each, then hostels at 8. That 4-guide structure separates Cape Town's accommodation coverage by type rather than mixing everything into a single list.

The boutique guide, also at 10 entries, narrows toward that specific category. Budget travelers should open the hostels guide first, where 8 entries keep the shortlist tight. The luxury guide at 12 entries is the largest here, so travelers comparing at that end will find the most options.
