Very friendly staff, even made me a breakfast to take away early morning. Road is a bit noisy but the location of the hotel is very central which makes up for the noisy in the morning.

Schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Frühstück

Das Nelson Inn ist ein altertümliches Hotel, hat aber dadurch tolles Flair. Wir haben im dazugehörigen Restaurant mittags und abends gegessen. Tolles Essen und faire Preise. Das Personal war sehr nett. Das Frühstück wurde frisch zubereitet und war sehr gut.

Very easy location and convenient to the charm of Simon's Town! We adored all of the staff members! The hotel is small enough that you get the opportunity to get a very personal experience.
