About
Altona Lodge
Altona Lodge is a small, 2-star hotel on Croxteth Road in Green Point, a coastal suburb of Cape Town. The property is set in an older building that guests repeatedly describe as charming and characterful, with a garden, terrace, and shared kitchen on site. It sits within easy walking distance of Cape Town Stadium, Sea Point's beachfront and promenade, and a wide array of restaurants, bars, and shops.
The lodge earns consistently high marks across the board, particularly for rooms (9.6), service (9.6), staff (9.8), and general experience (9.7). The complimentary breakfast — with fresh bread, pastries, eggs, and good coffee — is a recurring highlight in guest reviews. With paid airport shuttle, luggage storage, and a 14:00–19:00 check-in window, it's a practical base for exploring the city.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort scores lower than other categories — While rooms, service, and value rate above 9, Comfort sits at 7.3 and Facilities at 7.6 — the lowest scores in the set, suggesting a more basic experience in some areas.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only open from 14:00 to 19:00, which may be tight for late arrivals. Plan accordingly if you're landing later in the day.
- No pets or smoking on site — Pets are not allowed, and the hotel is entirely smoke-free. Those travelling with an animal will need to look elsewhere.
