“Great place to stay in Cape Town”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

5 nights Room 204 We arrived around 10:30pm after a 18hour journey. It was nice to see they have a lock up courtyard parking station. Check in was hassle free, quick and the staff so friendly and helpful. No lifts to the rooms so a few stairs to climb, not so hard without the bags. The staff are willing to... More

“The place to be”

Reviewed 15 April 2013 via mobile

Our room was perfect. It was sea facing, had a full roof sky light, plus excellent self contained facilities. The staff were excellent, friendly, professional and very friendly. The only thing I could possibly advise other travellers of is that the safe was slightly temperamental, but the on site concierge sorted the issue very promptly. This was for our honeymoon... More

“A bit tired”

We recently stayed at The place on the Bay and we were a bit disappointed. You couldn't knock the location as its right on the beach and you can watch the sunset from your balcony and walk out to fabulous restaurants but we felt the accommodation was a bit tired. We had booked a two bedroomed deluxe apartment and overall... More

Dear VicsM71 Thank you for your feedback and you right - if you have children, rather stay more to the back. The night life in Camps Bay is very busy - speacially in season - but it calm down later. Happy that you enjoyed the sunsets. Kind regards More

“It was actually very good”

Reviewed 28 March 2013

It is obvious from some of the recent reviews that some have had a very bad experience here. But I can't fully contribute to that view. I am not saying it was excellent but more than adequate for our 4 night stay. We had a 2 bedroom apartment right at the front overlooking the beach and just above the pool... More

Dear BasilEdenburgh Thank you for this review!!!! I am really happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and also that you had a good time in our beautiful city!!

Reviewed 23 March 2013 via mobile

A total rip off. Our room was outside the actual hotel overlooking a busy noisy road as well as all the restaurant noise at night. Toilet was broken and hotel refused to move us. We paid for the deluxe suite with a jacuzzi. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. We have stayed all over the world and... More

Dear MRParodi I am so sorry we could not move you because we were fully booked. Your unit is part of the hotel - it is just that the entrance to this unit is just outside the side gate.
