Hotels in Gardens - Kapstadt

Positiv:: The eclectic African vib and look

Negativ:: Not much, bathroom is small

Positiv:: Sehr gut gelegen zum Tafelberg! Sehr familiäre Behandlung der Gäste! Sehr liebevoll zubereitetes Frühstück!

Negativ:: Nichts!

Positiv:: Wonderful boutique hotel away from the crowd of VA waterfront. At the base of table mountain and Lion's head. In a cosy quiet district of CPT. Very friendly staff. More than everything the place is locally decorated with a lot of colour. You really feel like staying with friends...Don't hésitate if you like to spend quite evenings

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The house was very clean and the breakfast was lovely.

Negativ:: There wasn't anything not to like.

Positiv:: Location c;lose to some lovely restaurants. Staff so helpful and had some really nice extra touches like afternoon tea and welcoming you back in the evening with a complimentary glass of Amaroula!

Negativ:: Absolutely nothing!

Positiv:: The staff were absolutely exceptional. They went beyond our expectations in almost every area.

Positiv:: We loved our little apartment. We arrived to a full bread basket, full fruit basket and plenty of cookies, tea, coffee and milk. Even the wine was left ready for us! We will certainly stay again and would recommend Derwent House.

Positiv:: Unglaublich liebevoll und stilvoll eingerichtetes Hotel! Beim Betreten wird man sehr herzlich begrüsst, das Kaminfeuer brennt - man vergisst, dass man in einem Hotel wohnt! Das Personal beherrscht die hohe Kunst, immer da zu sein wenn was ist, ohne aufdringlich zu werden. Sie versuchen stets bei Ausflügen oder anderen Problemen Lösungen anzubieten, ohne überteuerte Preise dafür zu verlangen. Es ist zu spüren, dass sie ihre Arbeit gerne tun und sie wissen, was Gäste für Bedürfnisse haben. Vielen Dank für die liebevolle Behandlung!

Negativ:: Nichts! Ich müsste wirklich ein Haar in der Suppe suchen!

Positiv:: Service was excellent

Negativ:: Room was a bit small

Positiv:: Loved the warmth, electric blankets on bed that were switched on, the hot water bottle, the daily soup & cake, the nightcap, the excellent breakfasts!

Positiv:: I really enjoyed the feeling that you actually lived there instead of being in a hotel. I received great advice from the owners and they made me feel welcome and they were very friendly. The room was very inviting and 'homely'. Amazing experience. I would definitely go back with my wife and family.

Negativ:: The Wi-Fi was terrible. Sorry!

Positiv:: Staff was excellent. Incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure any of our needs were taken care of.

Positiv:: Wonderful gardens and pool area.

Positiv:: Location and grounds are spectacular, as is the breakfast buffet.

Negativ:: Late night noise issues from bar and terrace area kept us awake and even awakened us from a sound sleep one evening. Required repeated calls to front desk to resolve. Bathroom lights also miswired and require turning on room lights which is problematic when companion is sleeping. Overall, it's a very nice hotel with very major flaws.

Positiv:: Lobby entrance and Bar. Gardens are lovely and one can stroll into town by way of the University park right across the hotel entrance.

Positiv:: Beautiful spot, loved the mountain views while lying in bed and lazing by the pool in the sunshine. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options and great fresh fruit. Helpful and friendly staff. Easy walk or cab to nice bars and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay a lot!

Positiv:: Beautiful house with great rooms. The view to Table Mountain and the location were perfect.

Positiv:: Rosedene was amazing. It felt like home. The staff knew you by name. Room was taken care of morning and afternoon. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious. It is a thoughtful place with thoughtful people.

Positiv:: Beautiful location . Slightly eclectic . African feel . Very nice breakfast . Extremely helpful staff .

Positiv:: • perfect view of Table Mountain • safety living area • perfect location, have some special and artistic stores around the area • English breakfast • the room is nice, clean with beautiful garden • the hotel staff are kind and helpful

Positiv:: Breakfast was great and the household staff was great

Negativ:: the manager did not come thru with requests-missed booking at a restaurant with clients after I confirmed. Also lead to beleive the manager would get a shipping out from the hotel and when we were to leave the rest of the staff had no idea. The rest of the staff was great.

Positiv:: Sehr hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter! Ob Taxi oder Tischreservierung, es wurde alles für uns übernommen. Frühstück war für südafrikanische Verhältnisse sehr vielfältig. Garten mit kleinem Pool und mehreren Longe-Möbeln sehr nett angelegt, zudem bietet eine zusätzliche Sonnenterrasse mit Blick auf den Tafelberg auch Abends noch schöne Augenblicke!

Negativ:: Zimmer sind leider etwas hellhörig.

Positiv:: Das Guesthouse befindet sich in einer guten Lage. Nachts ruhig. In guter Lage zum Tafelberg und gut fußläufig erreichbare Restaurants. Gutes und ausreichendes Frühstück. Mitarbeiter sehr bemüht.

Negativ:: Wir hatten ein Zimmer, wo die Fensterscheiben teilweise Milchglascharakter hatten, und somit nicht durchsichtig waren. Zum Bad waren 3 Stufen zu überwinden, was in der Nacht nicht ungefährlich war. Es ist ein " in die Jahre " gekommenes Haus. Unsere Cottage sah im Internet deutlich! schöner und hochwertiger aus, extrem kleiner Pool.

Positiv:: Lovely little spot. Very attentive and helpful staff. Great breakfast offering!

Negativ:: The WiFi was really not that great. There were restrictions placed on what one could use the WiFi for. So for example, Facebook and Whatsapp could not be accessed on their WiFi

Positiv:: Sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Eines unserer Kinder erkrankte und wir durften sehr viel Unterstützung erfahren. Vielen Dank hierfür ! Außerdem danke für die kurzfristige Buchung und Empfehlung unseres Sylvester Diners an der Waterfront

Negativ:: Es gibt keinerlei Kritikpunkte

Positiv:: -sehr schönes Zimmer -gute Lage -sehr gutes Frühstück -gute Aussicht auf den Tafelberg -alles sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, das man sich nur wohlfühlen kann

Positiv:: The location and the view are just amazing! Moreover all members of the staff are quite kind and helpful, which gives the visit a wonderful personal touch! Strongly recommended!

Positiv:: Friendly staff, classy rooms and well situated.

Negativ:: Nothing to complain about.

Positiv:: Great location, rooms were fresh and clean, the roof top bar had the best views of the city

Positiv:: Schönes ruhiges Zimmer, Personal an der Rezeption war hilfreich und nett, WiFi überall empfangbar

Negativ:: Freundlichkeit beim Frühstück hat Luft nach oben, jacuzzi war nicht sauber, Getränke voucher nur für sprudelwein einlösbar (für andere alk Getränke nicht!)

Positiv:: Cloud Nine hotel was awesome. It was super comfy, quiet, clean and most of all, I really appreciated the fact that it was a restaurant menu option for breakfast (which was really good) instead of a typical, wasteful and untasteful buffet. Would definitely recommend it and go back again.

Negativ:: Nothing really I didn't like.

Positiv:: Location was good, lots of bars and a great Mexican next door.

Negativ:: Disappointed in the price of the hotel with regards to the room. It was two single beds pushed together with only a bed sheet to keep them together. The bathroom had absolutely no privacy and the room was tired and needed updating. Very very basic and not the boutique style we had hoped for.

Positiv:: Location, atmosphere of the hotel, boutique, room and bed just fine. Breakfast ok, but not excellent. No late bar facility available in the weekend.

Negativ:: Bar opening times, until midnight would be fine.

Positiv:: Great food, great service, friendly staff and beautiful facility

Negativ:: Hair dryer inadequate.

Positiv:: Clean

Negativ:: To much noice

Positiv:: Girls at the reception super kind and ready to help

Positiv:: The property was within walking distance of most attractios

Negativ:: The only problem we encountered was that the room we were first given in the mews accommodation on the ground floor was very cold and the heating did not work. We were transferred with no trouble to the top floor but this room was incredibly noisy. We were never sure what the noise was from, I think another property behind the hotel. We should have comlained again but we could not face another move. So we put up with it.

Positiv:: a very convenient place to stay in Cape Town - a great area in contrast to others. Nice sauna and bar. The breakfast across the road in "Power and the Glory" is excellent !!!

Negativ:: -

Positiv:: Tolles Frühstück, super Lage! Schöne Dachterrasse!

Positiv:: The staff is great, they are nice and can help you to organize your activities. The bar is nice and you can meet people.

Negativ:: There was no heater, not even a small electric one, was very cold.

Positiv:: Really comfy beds, centrally located, super clean and nice bathroom, safe and secure lockers for large luggage and for gadgets by bed (with a plug socket in the locker which was great!). Free activities seemed great but I didn't have time to join.

Negativ:: Stayed here on saturday and sunday night, was super busy on saturday night as the hostel is connected to a bar so it was quite noisy (music stopped at 10pm though)

Positiv:: Staff very helpful and beds super comfy

Negativ:: You can hear music from the bar from the room when trying to sleep.

Positiv:: What a wonderful hostel, very near, but still in a very good and quite neighborhood to the famous Long Street and Green Market. Table Mountain, Camps Bay and the other top places in Cape Town are cheap and easy to drive to by uber. The people at the hostel are very friendly and they like to help, just ask them for an uber to go to the place you want to see, or just join one of the free acctivities every day. Hope I´ll be back soon. Cheers Marcelo

Positiv:: Lage war top, Restaurant, Bars gleich nebenan. Personal zuvorkommend und nett, Koffer können abgegeben werden bei früherem/späterem Check in/out.

Negativ:: Strikt was Check in & out angeht, ist aber verständlich.

Positiv:: The staff was very kind and helpful, always willing and happy to help with anything. The beds are comfortable beds and the linen is very good. The bar in front is a good place to start a night out and the neighborhood has lots of other nightlife spots. The activities promoted/suggested by the hostel are also good so there is no sitting around and doing nothing, unless you wan't to do so.

Negativ:: One thing I didn't like was the fact that our window - bedroom and bathroom - faced the upstairs bar that gets very busy and noisy in the evening. The bar closes around 10 pm though, so it wasn't that big of an issue. The other thing was the lighting: the room was pretty dark.

Positiv:: Super Lage, tolles freundliches hilfsbereites Personal Hostel Aktivitäten bei denen man neue Leute kennen lernen kann

Negativ:: Es handelt sich hier eher um ein Party Hostel. Direkt am Hostel ist eine öffentliche Bar die am Wochenende sehr gut besucht ist. An schlafen ist hier bis 12:00 nicht zu denken.

Positiv:: Loved staying there! There are free activities every single day and it is easy to make friends. I met some fantastic people. The staff is very friendly and helpful, always trying to help out and making sure you have a good time. Also I enjoyed breakfast there.

Negativ:: Plan to do laundry early enough as it might take more than 1 day. It is also very noisy in the evening, there is no day people dont party here. Make sure to bring earplugs. Towels are not always available.

Positiv:: For our honeymoon, my husband and I stayed in Once in Capetown's private room with an ensuite bathroom and a mountain view and absolutely loved our stay! The staff was super helpful, enthusiastic, and went out of their way to make our time there special. The room was quiet and separated from the nightlife with a card activated door, and the view was stunning when the sun rose the morning after we arrived. We loved the location and easily walked to long street and downtown multiple times during our stay. We also had good meals at the in-house facility as well as the neighboring restaurants and particularly enjoyed our meals at Arnold's right across the street. Highly recommend and would happily stay here again!

Negativ:: Lobby ATM frequently ran out of money, but seemed to be refilled pretty quickly, and there were other's nearby on the same street. I guess this could really be a testament to how much fun people were having at the house bars.

Positiv:: The staff is very nice

Negativ:: There is no hit in the rooms

Negativ:: Bed was not that comfortabe

Positiv:: Location was good. Room size was great, with a view of the Table Mountain. Good restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was nice with lots of options to choose from. Decent value for the price paid.

Negativ:: Bathroom needs some remodeling. Water is splashing everywhere when using the tab and shower. It's not environmentally friendly and also not at all convenient when taking a shower. Bathroom also needs some proper cleaning in the corners, floor and door. The hotel's walls are super thin and you hear everything! This is actually the reason why I wouldn't book it again.

Positiv:: The breakfast was amazing. I'm used to places that provide bread and maybe a boiled egg. This was different types of yogurt, cereal, juices, and they would cook eggs or porridge to order. Very impressed.

Negativ:: The one way streets make getting there the first time a challenge but that's not their fault.

Positiv:: We argued but had to reach compromise, booking for 5 adults and 1 child but only 4 adults booked yet on computer planning and price acceptable, not coceeded to by lodge

Negativ:: Communication between agent system and lodge not consistent with my booking, besides prices higher than other packages and when questioning, told its because of breakfast. Very misleading. Told nowhere does accommodation booking take more than 4 people,!

Positiv:: Patio

Negativ:: There were coakroaches in the room. Many of them, daily

Positiv:: The staff was very friendly and helpfull.

Negativ:: Room are a bit noisy if you do not enjoy the night live.

Positiv:: Toller Blick auf den Tafelberg und Lion's Head

Negativ:: Die Bewertung der Lodge wird überschattet durch die Lage am öffentlichen Parkplatz "Dunkley Square" und durch das Treiben im gegenüberliegenden Bub "Roxy Late Night" mit Partys, die bis auf den Sonntag 22 Uhr, und sonst bis 2 Uhr Nachts abgefeiert werden. Wir hatten 4 Nächte im Voraus gebucht, sonst wären wir nach der ersten, schlaflosen Nacht ausgezogen. Das Hotelpersonal ist machtlos gegen den täglichen Lärm und macht seinen Job, aber auch nicht mehr. Im Hotel ist sonst nichts los und auch das Frühstück ist nicht mehr als Standard.

Positiv:: Besser als erwartet, besser als am Foto... Einfach wunderschön!

Negativ:: Die Heizung hätte besser sein können.

Positiv:: Only thing to remember was the view of the table mountain

Negativ:: Mould on the bathroom wall, and all the windows. Very humid building. Sheets were not clean and there was hair in the bed. Information given of the table mountain visit was completely wrong, it was closed for a few weeks for maintenance

Positiv:: Balcony and very much the location

Positiv:: The locations was extremely convenient, the staff was excellent, the breakfast was outstanding, the view of Table Mountain was unbelievable and Ruth, the owner, is one of a kind. I will find myself returning to Ikhaya Lodge time and time again. Next time I’m hoping to bring a group to ikhaya Lodge so they can all have the same experience That i have been fortunate to experience. Can’t wait!!!

Negativ:: Everyone and everything was over the top marvelous!!!

Positiv:: Frühstück war toll, man konnte sich Eiergerichte und Heißgetränke á la carte bestellen. Jeden Tag reichlich frischer Obstsalat. 2 Restaurants, ein Waffelladen und eine Szenebar direkt gegenüber. In unmittelbarer Nähe zur Afrikanischen Nationalgalerie, Nationalmuseum, Holocaustmuseum und Parlamentsgebäude. Unbedingt Zimmer mit Blick auf den Tafelberg buchen. Toller Ausblick vom verglasten Balkon der Zimmer. Kostenfreier Parkplatz im geschlossenen Innenhof.

Negativ:: Kakerlaken im einem unserer beiden Zimmer

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: Toilets a little bit old

Negativ:: No HOT WATER. Slippery shower floor Did not appreciate VERY STRONG SMELL Of paint/turps- cover over light fitting above headboard missing-lack of care and involvement By owners

Negativ:: Ist schön aber teilweise etwas abgenutzt. Es wird Zeit zu renovieren. Aber wir hatten eine schöne Zeit

Positiv:: Comfortable bed

Negativ:: Our car was broken into outside the property. Not the fault of the guesthouse as this can happen anywhere in SA but mentioning it so that visitors can be more cautious than we were. Do not leave any items in the vehicle on show.

Positiv:: Very central location, friendly staff.

Negativ:: No secure parking, dodgy high risk to park out front. The house opposite the road was makig souch of noise, sanding or grinding or drilling etc. Could not relax amd takr nap. The jacuzzi was broken, the mildew/mouldy corners of the shower doors and floors caused me to have an unpleasant shower. Felt unhygienic almost. The shower taps were faulty was struggling to get the knob to stay down to switch between hand held and shower head. Our tv didn't have a remote control. The shutter doors needs replacing, alot of the shutters broken. The splash pool lights were not working. The overall feel was just that the room was old and needed some general maitenance as well as a decor makeover. I would definitely go again but i dont feel the room justifies the room rate,

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Gefallen hat mir die Unterstützung des Guesthouse bei Problemen. Es wurde sofort reagiert und auf die Probleme eingegangen. Z.Bsp. Essen auf dem Zimmer bei Krankheit. Telefonate zur Polizei nach Diebstahl der Nummernschilder am Mietwagen. Die Honesty Bar war immer gut gefüllt und die Auswahl der Getränke war ausreichend. Ich konnte bereits 2 Stunden vor Check-In auf ein Zimmer.

Negativ:: Leider war das Frühstück sehr übersichtlich und teilweise war das "Buffet" leergefegt. Es gab nur Käse, etwas Cerealien, etwas Obst, Joghurt, Saft sowie natürlich Eier und Speck. Alles sehr eingeschränkt / sparsam vorhanden. Die Toilettenbrille passte nicht zur Größe Schüssel und rutschte hin- und her. Sauberkeit: mal eben übergewischt.

Positiv:: The bed was comfortable and the bed linen was really good quality and nice.

Negativ:: There was no milk. There was coffee and tea but no milk (not even coffee creamer) which is really a deal breaker for me (and most other people). The place didn't look nearly as nice as on the pictures. No parking. Bathroom does not have a proper door but one of those barn-style ones, and it's in the middle of the place so one has no real privacy. The kitchen table looked like it had spots if old dry soup stains or something.

Positiv:: Location is very good if you want to be in town. It is set on a quiet street. Breakfast was good.

Negativ:: In the day time parking can be hard to find.

Positiv:: The staff was really helpful! Great breakfast and location!

Positiv:: Great location,very central,located near the Company Gardens. Walking distance to many attractions, however it is advisable to take taxis as members of our group were mugged and lost their phones and money. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and arranged for the police to come round and take a statement. The staff were also attentive and helped us arrange transport and gave advice about what to see and how long it would take

Positiv:: everything, it was heaven, the place is very beautiful, very quie and peaceful, the beds are comfortable, the breakfat was devine, we had a very great time.

Negativ:: absolutely nothing
