My time at Kingslyn was fantastic. The staff are friendly and keen to help. The place is clean and airy, the communal area is welcoming and the rooms are luxurious and very worth the price! A definite addition to my list of places to stay in Cape Town - would reccomend to anyone.

Breakfast was good and the ladies would make us whatever we want. Located quite near to the city centre. Quality of sleep was excellent and the best thing for us was the lounge. Kids would... More

The hotel is located in a nice housing area close to the sea. It is very calm and safe there. Large and well-designed rooms with a big bathroom ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast is excellent and will be served in the wintergarden. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Our room came with a mini lounge carpeted area, which had a couch and mini bar that came with complimentary tea & treats. Only... More

We visited in the winter season and were the only people staying, this had no effect on our exprience. The room was beautiful, clean and warm, breakfast was delicious and nothing was too much. We stayed alone here at night but felt really safe. Would definately recommend and stay again.
