    The breakfast options were good, but the avo toast option was much less than the others. Coming home in the evening (9:30pm) everything was quiet and streets deserted. It was a little scary for us traveling women alone with kids. I would recommend to at least have some security there till 11pm.

    Great location, clean and close to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend.

    Found the hot water took quite a while to get hot in shower. The sun did wake us up very early. Road facing room no blind over top of the door.

    Breakfast was good. Staff all very friendly.

    The room was always neat and linen clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Car parked on street without any problems. Very nice breakfast although somewhat pricey for a pensioner. Perhaps management can consider a reduced rate for pensioners. Should this be possible we'll definitely visit again! Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

    Beautiful small hotel with a tasty breakfast. Right in the center opposite a nice Korean restaurant. We were able to park right in front of the hotel. Not far from Boulders beach.

    We were really looking forward to the breakfast eggs Benedict but this wasn’t on the breakfast menu for residents. A glass of water would also be nice at breakfast time. 10% discount in the restaurant doesn’t work anymore due to new ownership.

    Location was excellent. We had the room with the balcony only issue is light comes in through blind. It was our honeymoon and staff ensured we had a great time and gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne which was greatly appreciated.

    You get what you don't expect when you enter this charming hotel. The facade of the building doesnt prepare you for the classy and impressive interior. The staff are fabulous and the room decor classy. A Nespresso pod machine was an impressive addition. The dining room is lovely and the breakfast delicious..the eggs benedict was a winner. I would highly recommend a stay here!

    The room we had on the main road was quite noisy very early in the morning due to the main road and the windows being of an older design didn't do much to dampen the noise. We wouldn't let this stop us from booking again, though, as the overall stay was ok and good value for money.

    The rooms were clean, and the bed was comfy. The shower was relaxing, and the overall facilities were to a good standard and clean. The general position was good for exploring Simonstown and the surrounding area.

    Only got to stay 1 night. But I'll be back

    Was pleasantly surprised. At the price charged I was expecting a mediocre hotel. But this hotel far exceeded my expectations. Everything so clean, well maintained, excellent facilities. And to top it off we had to leave early and was offered an packed breakfast without asking.

    Nothing serious. Unlimited coffee and orange juice with breakfast would be great. Preferred the old decoration that was more warm in the main room and the sofas at the entrance felt more welcoming. Double room at the back not really suitable for 4 adults, and locks feel flimsy, but hotel accommodated us.

    Really lovely hotel with friendly staff, excellent restaurant. Perfect location.
