Cape Nelson Guest House is located in the heart of Seaview which is a great place to stay for a first time visit to Cape Town. Safe, accessible to most tourist areas and a stones throw from the Promenade. The upstairs studio i stayed in had its own entrance, so i felt i had privacy but was not completely alone as I was able to take breakfast (excellent and good value) in the guest house. Staff were friendly and Velda and Philip made me feel they were genuinely interested in their guests and were ready to help with recommending and booking tours etc. I really enjoyed my stay in this friendly and welcoming guest house.

The only things would be that the shower hadn’t been cleaned well and there was a bunch of hair stuck to the walls. We also stayed during a load shedding (so of course it’s not their fault) so the AC didn’t work (but fan did) so it was kind hot at night and difficult to sleep.

Super convenient location to nearby restaurants, cafes, shops, the waterfront. The staff were great and very easy to communicate with. The room had everything we needed for our short stay.

An accommodation that we will remember, a welcoming host and very attentive to our needs. Welda, Phillip and their cat named Tom Jones who visited us every morning made our stay wonderful. Very good breakfast, the location is good. I really appreciated their advice, and the people that they put us in contact with helped us a lot, and all this made our stay very safe and pleasant. The room was cleaned daily and Welda was available to us via WhatsApp whenever we needed advice or guidance. Big thank you!

No complaints from me :)

The room was a nice size and nicely decorated. I enjoyed meeting Welda, she was very helpful. I also enjoyed meeting her cat! The location is nice too - the nearby Main Road and the Sea Point Promenade are nice to go for a walk.

We really liked to stay at Cape Nelson Guest House. It's a perfect place to stay, the area is safe, we walked along the shore to the V&A Waterfront (and took a Uber back - Uber works perfectly in Capetown). Welda and Philipp were perfect hosts, giving good advice, having time for a nice chat, preparing a delicous breakfast, and even giving us some warm clothes as our luggage came late. Thanks once again for that.

The only thing we could give constructive criticism on, which is only small, we would have liked a little more milk in the room so we could make more than a cup of coffee each.

Really appreciated the room having a fan & aircon. It is in a nice area with restaurants within walking distance. The room had its own little outdoor sitting area, which was lovely.
