Cape Town First South African Perfume Museum Hotels

"Had an ocean view, yes, but there is a large patio over the parking structure, and it was not on an upper floor. "

"Great view towards Table Mountain, friendly staff"

"Facility and stay were absolutely fantastic. Cannot complain. Views from room and patio are incredible. If we had one disappointment it would be there was no gym facilities. (Understand I’m looking for something negative). Food was fabulous at the restaurant. Would absolutely highly recommend. "

"Karin's apartment was really lovely, clean, and spacious exactly as described! The view was amazing. Location was spot on. Marie Ann the property manageress was really lovely and friendly, she went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We really enjoyed our time here and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you Karin for sharing your lovely home with us."

"Excellent room and very good staff"

"Wonderful location right on beach with awesome views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean - get a seaside view room if possible. Rooms were clean but could use some touchup, wall air conditioners (we kept the 2 sliding glass doors open to cool down the room - it can get very windy since you are on the ocean. Outstanding staff behind the front desk, the room cleaning staff, and the restaurant staff - also, purchase the buffet breakfast as part of your total coast - it’s so good! While our queen sized bed sagged in the middle, I’m confident that the staff will replace it. The hotel is 12 km from the City Center and the V&A Waterfront, in Bloubergstrand, an area that is really growing. Plenty of restaurants, free parking, uncrowded beach - though in summer there are lots of paragliders on beach & n the water - lessons are available onsite if needed. If you are ok with driving, go ahead & rent a car at the Airport (roughly a 20 minute drive). The traffic is awful during rush hour, so avoid am & pm rush hours! Recommend take guided tours if possible - many can pick you up at the hotel. Dolphin Beach Hotel also has a truly awesome van driver in Rafi - what a super guy, and makes himself available if you need to get somewhere. Kudos to Thandie, who I communicated with over six months ago when I had a million questions, and had confusion over the hotel payment. She was very patient with me throughout the process. The dollar was at a good exchange rate with Rand."

"Location, location !!!!! right on the beach, great staff, great view of the sea and Table Mountain"

"Excellent all over"

"Mandalay Beach B & B was an awesome spot to stay. The room was very nice, clean and quite spacious. Jennfier and Sharl were incredible hosts. Very friendly, always willing to help us figure out the area (booking tours, restaurants, stores, etc). Would highly recommend staying here. "
