Camps Bay Hotel with Picture Perfect Views

Great location! Loved the views. Staff was very friendly. It was not always easy to locate the concierge on duty, but they do list numbers. A late check-in fee was charged which I was unaware about. A great place to stay!

Just Perfect!

Great location --- 2 min walk to quiet peaceful beach and restaurants. Safe area for single travelers. Great friendly staff. Nice spacious well appointed room. Breezy and fresh with a balcony and view of ocean. I loved hearing the crashing waves every night. Portia and David are excellent, kind, knowledgable and so welcoming. David helped me navigate the issues of a flat tire and brought peace to my hectic arrival day. Vanessa helped me plan my drive to the cape of good hope (full day!) where I was face to face with great sights, penguins, baboons and ostrich! Highly recommend. Great stay. I hope to go back soon.
