About
The One 8 Hotel In Green Point - Solar Power
The One 8 Hotel In Green Point - Solar Power sits on Antrim Road, about a 5-minute walk from Sea Point Public Library. The property runs partly on solar energy, keeping the footprint lighter in a city that values sunshine. A saltwater pool, free private parking, and Wi-Fi throughout are the quiet essentials here.
This is a boutique stay on a small scale — around eight rooms, so service tends to be personal and direct. Rooms come with air conditioning, heating, and private bathrooms; some add balconies or a bathtub. The hotel also runs a coffee shop and bar, arranges tours and airport shuttles, and keeps a 24-hour reception for late arrivals.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small property — With around eight rooms, the hotel is intimate but not suited to those wanting resort-style space or anonymity.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the property enforces a no-pets policy.
- Limited dining options on site — Breakfast is praised, but there's no full restaurant; guests rely on nearby eateries or the snack bar for other meals.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Late-night arrivals after 11 PM may need to arrange alternative entry, despite 24-hour reception.
