    The place was a bit difficult to get into and out but they all round have a lot of space when you already in the place.

    We booked for a normal room for our wedding night, they not only upgraded us to the honeymoon suite for free, they also gave a gift from the staff.

    Absolutely nothing

    The Palm House Hotel is a little oasis of calm and tranquility on the outskirts of bustling Cape Town. From the moment we arrived until we left, we were treated like royalty. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We decided to dine in the fine dining restaurant De Tafel and what an experience that was! The food was exquisite and the whole evening was a culinary celebration. Best food we have ever had and we have travelled extensively. We met the co owner who is doing a magnificent job of running this delightful boutique hotel. I have nothing but praise for the whole team.

    At first, I was placed in a room close to a rather noisy ventilation system, but the hotel kindly offered me a much quieter room for my last night

    Great pool and spa facilities, complemented by an extremely friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel is also conveniently located close to the start of the Two Oceans Marathon and I was even offered an early morning transfer to the starting point. A standout surprise was discovering that Gregory Henderson is running his signature restaurant right in the hotel, focusing on indigenous and wild ingredients. I had the pleasure of enjoying a four-course meal that was not only amazing but also very affordable. The casual atmosphere made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    Loved the hotel! The rooms, the ambience and the staff are just amazing. We had a wonderful stay in the Palm House Boutique Hotel. It’s a beautiful property offering old world charm and luxury, away from the crowds. No queues for breakfast, one is served exceptional a la carte breakfast, with individual attention to each and every guest. There is a school right next to the property which can be a bit noisy in the mornings, other than that this is a great place to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The rooms are spacious with lovely views of the mountains and the greenery around. The food is great and the staff are super welcoming and hospitable. We just loved everything about this boutique hotel located in the veterans Wynberg suburb.

    The staff working the restaurant were not as well organized as the staff working the front desk. They were very nice and friendly but we had to ask them instead of them being proactive.

    Good location and very nice and friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable and very nice. The lady and gentleman from security checking us in were very friendly and helpful.
