Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK

8/10 Good

"Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. Covered rooftop pool is small but warm in the middle of a bar/meeting up space. In the room there are limited plug ins and towel hooks, but the bed is comfortable and the mini fridge is a decent size. Staff were eager to help."

Ellerman House

The Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Service was top notch. Had a few issues with room - maintenance took care of them. Excellent hotel, and would def recommend."

The Bantry Bay Aparthotel by Totalstay

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at Bantry Aparthotel. It was actually an extension to my first booking which I did as a separate booking which I was pleased to see did not cause any problems and I was able to retain my same room. All the staff there were helpful and friendly. My room was one of the Penthouse suites so I have a nice little kitchen and a big full size bathroom. There are views with balcony from both the living room and the bedroom and there is a nice roof patio area to the rear. Ocean views are magnificent. The suite was quiet, comfortable, well equipped. Some areas show a little age / wear but nothing I'd find an issue. Its a good, solid, honest aparthotel in a fantastic location. Parking is fine for smaller cars but may be rather tight if you turn up in a Range Rover or something. You can safely walk around the area - the beach, local shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities are all near. Ideal stay to explore the area from."
