In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional service and staff — Guests repeatedly highlight the attentiveness and professionalism of the team, from the front desk to the waiters. The hotel also went out of its way to assist elderly guests, a detail one reviewer said they'll never forget.
- Stunning ocean and sunset views — The elevated position offers dramatic vistas over the Atlantic, particularly memorable at sunset. One guest described the views as 'amazing', another called them 'spectacular'.
- High comfort and room quality — Rooms score 9.1 for comfort, with guests noting clean, well-appointed spaces. The one-bedroom suites and sea-facing options are popular for their layouts and amenities.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location is a bit removed — While close to Camps Bay, a short walk to Hout Bay Harbour and Boulders Beach, the hotel is not in the heart of Cape Town's main attractions. Guests may need transport for city centre sightseeing.
- Price reflects the premium — With rates starting around £753 per night, this is a high-end property. The 'Value' category scores slightly lower than other categories, suggesting some guests feel the price is steep for what's offered at times.
- General rating slightly below peers — The 'General' category scores 8.0, the lowest among all categories, which may indicate minor inconsistencies in overall experience despite high individual scores.
