    I had the pleasure of staying at the Labotessa Hotel for one night last week and was thoroughly impressed. The hospitality stood out from the moment I arrived, with a warm and attentive team always available to support with any request. My room was exceptionally luxurious, beautifully designed, and equipped with every comfort I could wish for. A truly memorable stay that exceeded expectations. I will definitely come back.

    Firstly the staff are superb. Professional, experienced, and eager to assist with a personal and personable approach. Nice, caring human beings. Warm yet not overstated furnishings. Spacious room. Very well thought out design with a place for everything, and many amenities cleverly concealed out of view so your every desire is on hand, and you can admire the beautiful room and wider property without intrusion of function. Impeccably clean and in perfect condition. Tasty and healthy complimentary snacks and beverages in the room. Central for a taste of Cape Town and quick access to all the sites. Great breakfast available throughout the day.

    I‘d argue, best hotel in Capetown and definitely the best hotel we have ever stayed in

    Probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Bridget, Rachel, …. I am sorry forgot all the other names, were simply amazing. Their service attitude is unmatched. They even walk you to the hotel if it’s in the area. The food is world-class too and the personnel there same thing, absolutely outstanding. The rooms are big, beautiful and one of a kind. We are often disappointed when we compare pictures with reality, this is the other way around. And yes it’s a lot of money but from our perspective it was worth every single cent. Next time we come to Capetown we‘ll book the same place, that’s for sure. I‘d argue there is no better in Capetown than Labotessa.

    An exceptional boutique hotel

    If they had in room dining and a full-fledged kitchen then it would be perfect but the lack of it was also not a bad thing.

    An exceptional hotel. It's a very small boutique hotel which makes it perfect. Hidden away in a little corner so it's easy to miss it. The service was exceptional, the room absolutely divine - it was huge with a mini kitchenette, dining area and lounge. The bathroom accessories are all branded and high quality. The hotel has a small cafe not a full-fledged kitchen and I think it closes early, however I knew this and always ordered take out and used the microwave in the hotel room. It's just a quaint and unexpected luxurious hotel.

    What an exceptional hotel. The room was big, with very good lighting, it had everything you could wish for. The bathroom countertop could be bigger, other than that it was a perfect stay. The elevador door opened directly in the room ! Amenities were excellent, the fridge was full of goodies and we had a complimentary bottle of red wine, coffee, cookies and fruits

    Amazing new hotel in Cape Town! Staff is extremely attentive and does everything possible to assure we have the best experience. Room is close to perfection, very clean, spacious, quiet and full of amenities. Breakfast is also great. It is located in a central area in Cape Town, just a short Uber ride to the main attractions.
