We were impressed with the friendly service and amazing stay we had at the Ambassador Hotel. Apart from the excellent location, the other two aspects that impressed us most were the quality and comfort of the bed in our spacious sea-facing room as well as the magnificent spread at the buffet breakfast.

We booked this hotel for our base in Cape Town and it achieved our goals although we would not have wanted to spend to much time in our room which was cramped particularly the bathroom. The sound of the sea splashing on the rocks below was loud but did not spoil our sleep and breakfast taken on the top floor... More

I read the reviews on this hotel before booking and lots of comments were on the sound of the ocean and how loud it was. Well that appealed to me as I love the sound of the water crashing into the shore. However the ocean sound and the fantastic views couldn't make up for the fact that the rooms are... More

This place rests on its great views and sunsets. The rooms are small but more than comfortable enough. There is only one very noisy lift. Except for the reception staff the staff is friendly. The house keeping is good. Public areas a bit tatty. Lift certainly tatty. Waiters are fine - the restaurant is good enough. So on the question... More

We stayed for just one night here on the 23rd March. I had read all the reviews on Trip Advisor so was slightly worried about the rooms. The reception area and the restaurant were very nice, but when we got to our rooms it seemed that the reviews were justified. The room was quite shabby, with chips out of some... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
There's no escaping the beauty of one of the world's favourite places... and the Ambassador Hotel, right on the rocks, is unique in this city of spectacular sights. Every day at the Ambassador Hotel brings a different magic of blue skies, balmy seas and cascading surf. Guests soak up the atmosphere of the ocean relaxing at the pool just metres away from the rocks, in the bar lounge overlooking the sea, or watching seagulls perched on bedroom window sills. The Ambassador Hotel is one of the most spectacular hotels in Cape Town. It is centrally located in Bantry Bay on the Atlantic coastline, surrounded by areas such as the Waterfront, Clifton and Camps Bay, and within close proximity to Cape Point and the botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch. The Ambassador is a luxury hotel with superb dining facilities, and is a perfect destination for vacation or business travel. ... more   less
