Nothing - it was all great and we loved our stay

This was a really good stay. In particular the staff were so friendly and helpful. I particularly like the fact that there was someone there (Riano) to help us plan things to do and make restaurant recommendations and bookings for us. Took a lot of the pressure off us to 'explore' Raymond the Duty Manager was an absolute delight as was Simon. They really are an amazing team, and they helped to make us so welcome. The property is charming and quirky. Yes, a little tired but beautifully clean and the ambience and service made you not notice the age, and it was very well maintained. We loved it here and would definitely go back. Breakfast was good and plentiful.

Our experience at this hotel was truly exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed with incredible warmth, and the staff, especially Riano, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a fantastic introduction to Cape Town and provided valuable tips. Brighton and Hamid were also amazing; they went above and beyond to help us plan our entire itinerary, making our trip seamless and enjoyable. The room itself was a masterpiece. It's truly one of the best we've ever stayed in—the cleanliness and design were breathtaking. It was spacious, bright, and elegantly designed, with an impressive attention to detail. The area felt very safe, and the hotel's location is perfect, with easy access to everything we wanted to see. In short, this is one of the best hotel experiences we've had in Cape Town. We honestly couldn't find a single fault. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and perfect stay.

Not a single thing.

Beautiful, cosy, relaxing, intimate space with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, a fabulous breakfast and lovely lounge bar, populated by the most wonderful, attentive staff.

Everything was excellent, especially the fire in the sitting room and drinks. Laundry was expensive but the clothes came back in good condition.

Blackheath lodge exceeded all of our expectations. We stayed here for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon, and we were so impressed by the staff and accommodation, that we ended up booking into their sister hotel in Franschoek because of our experience in Blackheath Lodge. We were greeted originally by Riano who was very welcoming and friendly, and he kindly sat with us and went through our plans for our time in Cape Town and helped us to create an itinerary of what we'd like to do while we were there. He was also very helpful at booking trips around Cape town if we wanted to do them. For the other days in the hotel, we had the pleasure of dealing with Mimi, Simon, Grace and Comfort, all of whom were so friendly and welcoming. Mimi helped us to plan some of our days and booked dinners for us and Simon gave us great recommendations for Hermanus. The service was exceptional, honestly felt like we were at a home from home. Our room was beautiful and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious each morning. The location is ideal too - just a short walk from the sea front and you can safely walk along the sea to the V&A which is about a half hour walk from the hotel. I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone wondering where to stay in Cape town for the first time.

Everything was great!

I had the pleasure of staying at Blackheath Lodge for 3 nights, and it was truly a memorable experience. The location is fantastic – just a short walk from the beautiful Sea Point Promenade and V&A Waterfront and you could also catch the Red City HOHO bus from Greenpoint lighthouse. The guesthouse itself is absolutely charming and beautifully maintained. It strikes the perfect balance between stylish and welcoming. The second day I decided to not go out much and relax by the pool as I felt the hotel itself had to be enjoyed as well. The made to order hot breakfast and the continental selection was top notch as well. What really made my stay exceptional and the entire staff was incredible. I interacted most with Simon, Hamid, and Mimi, and they were all absolutely wonderful – so friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Great conversations too and tons of suggestions during my stay! From the moment I arrived I was greeted until I called my uber to take me back to the airport to go back home. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, and their warmth added a personal touch to the whole experience. I can't recommend Blackheath Lodge enough. I wish I had a few more nights there but I'll definitely be back and stay with them.
