4 Stars Hotels in Western Cape, South Africa

Upgraded to a Loft suite. Excellent (once the air conditioner unit was explained). Staff great. Housekeeping a bit too eager. On site restaurant Liberty's seems slow and disorganized, even for South Africa and especially for a Hilton's. Free shuttle to V&A Waterfront every two hours. Walking distance to the Old Biscuit Mill (a Saturday morning must-do). Regular and reliable taxi service around Cape Town at reasonable rates, for drop off and pickup. Airport shuttle. Neighborhood was very safe Don't pre-book tours before you get here; Yasir and his team will take good care of you.

This is a very nice (new) hotel close to the downtown and Waterfront area. A twenty minute walk to either location (not an easy walk) - they do have canal water taxi service available to take you to the waterfront. Definitely worth the experience. The breakfast service is delightful but can get crowded at times due to their catering of large tour groups. Rooms are nice, AC unit works very well, showers hot, tv selection extensive, and service awesome. Recommend for those looking for a very nice hotel at a reasonable rate. One downfall to the hotel / location is that is bucks up to the container / shipping area so when vessels come in you will hear a lot of container unloading noise at night. Ask for an ”even” numbered room so you are on the opposite side and you get a view of Table Mountain

An absolutely wonderful hotel. We were stranded at Hotel Verde due to the Lufthansa strike. We ended up staying for 4 days. I still can not get over how nice this hotel was. The staff were friendly and the hotel garden is a miniature version of Kirstenbosch. You can only find a place like this in Cape Town, I highly recommend it.

Having travelled extensively and stayed in numerous hotels worldwide, I can confidently state that my recent experience was the worst ever. Despite seeing several negative reviews about their service, I thought they were just occasional lapses. However, I soon discovered that the hotel had a persistent service problem. I had a problem with my reservation and spent two days trying to resolve it, but no one cared. To make matters worse, I was charged ten times the amount I had originally paid for the same room (i.e., $300 instead of $30) without any reasonable explanation. When I questioned this, the staff merely shrugged it off, citing fluctuating prices as the reason. The lady in charge of reservations was extremely rude and disrespectful throughout the ordeal. In addition to the issues with my reservation and the exorbitant charges, the air conditioner was not working properly and made a lot of noise. Furthermore, the fridge in my room made a huge noise, which disturbed my sleep at 2 am (I recorded a video as proof). Moreover, the noise levels in the dormitory were unacceptable all the night! making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. In short, I urge anyone considering staying at this hotel to think twice and look for other options.

The location is a bit off from the v&a waterfront and city centre. You need to Uber out everytime. Another then this , everything is Awesome from the staff to the room service food to even the room very good.

We were a mature mother and daughter travelling together and this was our 1st time to this hotel. It soon became a firm favourite and will be top of our list for future CT/Seapoint holidays. The good location was a given, but the hospitality, warmth and assistance from the entire team took the holiday to another level. We spent 10 nights there - and loved the spacious and light room. Having both a bath and a shower was a bonus. (Please put in a rain shower/head one day.) And the kitchenette was so well outfitted for self catering. With quality / matching crockery / cutlery. Not a case of 'hit and miss' which you often find in hotels. We had the breakfast inclusive option and the fruit and egg choices were 10/10. As was the service here too. In fact, consider having breakfst there even if it isnt part f your package - it will be worth it. We spent most of our days at the pool - intentionally - and enjoyed the bar and food service (soon to be inhouse) the hotel offered there. We even hosted visitors in the courtyard by the pool one day. To the Bantry Suites / Totalstay team - our thanks for a super stay.

I booked moutain view room but they brought me to half buildinng & half sea view room, but I made no complaint of that. Breakfast food are much of varieties with good quality and I am very happy with it. Gym is equipped with very minimum equipment in a small room. I think people more enjoy outdoor than indoor gym here.

The stay was one of a kind for me, your service was top class and what a beautiful country you guys live in, I envy SA. A return is surely on the cards sometime in the future. Thank you. Boom boom boom!

This visit was booked through our safari operators in South Africa. We’d read the reviews and they were all very positive. We’ll add ours to that list. Quick check in after an extremely long day reaching the hotel. As in most late arrivals, you have no idea where you are except in the broadest sense. Lovely person got us into our room and by then it was after Midnight. The room, although not huge, was perfect. You weren’t stepping over your suitcase to get to the bed, temperature was perfect without the need of any A/C or heat, and it was quiet. Breakfast, one of the things we always check in any review, was ample. The chef making the eggs was great. Cooked to order and perfect. Coffee comes to you via a smiling server. Hot items are on offer, as well as cold cuts and several varieties of cheese. The usual fruit, yogurt and bread is also served. Very pleasant ladies working the room taking care of the guests. Hard workers. The location turned out to be a major positive. Walk out to the street, take a right, and you’re a short stroll to the harbor and its hustle. Restaurants abound. Although we rarely, if ever, visit a mall, the one next to the harbor is huge. We walked through it the first day to get our bearings. If you forgot to pack a sweater or shoes, you’re covered! Everything from a Rolex to a quart of milk is available. The harbor is interesting. Short cruises are offered; some as long as an hour, but many are 30 minutes long and come with a narrative that explains what you’re seeing. Table Mountain is your backdrop for the harbor. Beautiful. The hotel is a solid choice if you want to be close to the harbor and all the activities it provides. Recommended.

I stayed at the aparthotel for the second time and found its location convenient and my stay comfortable. However, the building alarm repeatedly disturbed my sleep during the early hours of the morning, and the pillows were not comfortable, making my stay less pleasant this time. If these issues are fixed, I would definitely come back to stay again.

A great stay - from beginning to end. We were made very welcome by Magda and Christo and shown to a very clean, smart and well equipped room with a stoepe. There is a good swimming pool area with sunloungers. The breakfasts were first class. The hosts and all their staff are very friendly and helpful and booked restaurants for us. The hotel is easy to find, has safe parking and is central for visiting the historical houses and is between 2 excellent restaurants. Ideal stay in Oudsthoorn.

Celebrated my mom’s birthday. We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and our room was spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast is great, wish it had pancakes or waffles for vegetarians. The hotel is located at the heart of Knysna- short stroll to the waterfront, plenty of restaurants& activities. Parking is available on site for ZAR30 p/ night and tourism levy is ZAR30 p/ night. Our check in was 30 minutes late, (14:30) bit disappointed, but we understand it was peak period. Otherwise highly recommend and will definitely return!

I had an incredible experience at this hotel! The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The hotel’s amenities, such as the pool were well maintained . The location was at housing area which not suitable for public transport, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay

Beautiful hotel facing the lagoon. Check in was not a smooth process due to a room mix up. The service from the staff was outstanding. The room I checked into was very nice, spacious, clean with a beautiful view of the lagoon. The food was delicious. The hotel is a bit far from the city center/waterfront. Overall experience was outstanding. I look forward to visiting this place again in summer.

Good nice and new hotel with nice bf .. located on the main road … there restaurant super market within walking distance to the hotel .. big room nice deco as well .. stop over night .. pretty ex for the room in South Africa but this is at Peterson bay .. with all the riches anyway 5/5 for the hotel will recommend to frd

great hotel in Mossel bay! We didn't realize Mossel Bay was a busy commercial port, but the hotel delivered: a nice room, comfortable bed, plenty of room and a nice sitting area complete with small kitchenette! We had a nice view of the harbor and were welcomed and shown to our room with kind hospitality. The property is nice and we ended up eating in the restaurant adjacent for dinner: Cafe Gannet. It was was packed, and we know why--terrific food and service! Although Mossel Bay itself was somewhat disappointing for us as part of the ”Garden Route”, the hotel was terrific.

We stayed in a Karoo cottage for 2 nights. I had previously stayed (9 years ago) and was disappointed with my experience this time round in comparison. Starting with the good things - the animals and reserve itself were fantastic! Could not fault the length of the game drives, the knowledge of the safari leaders or the quality of service in that respect. We also opted to do a quad bike safari, which was a truly unforgettable and fantastic experience! Notwithstanding this, there were a few issues which we think could be improved: 1. While we understand Aquila is a business and needs to make money, we were shocked to find that no drinks were included (aside from juice and water at breakfast, and a single complimentary beverage on evening game drives). At lunch, dinner and throughout the day guests were required to pay for bottled water to keep hydrated. We paid a lot of money to stay 2 nights in a Karoo cottage so were disappointed that things like water, Coca Cola and locally produced wine were not included in the price. 2. The whole format has become more family friendly and at some points this detracted from the luxury experience expected for the price paid. Buffet food options seemed geared up to children’s needs/preferences and the pool area was often incredibly loud with screaming, shouting and splashing. Our first game drive was completed ruined by sitting next to a couple with a toddler and small baby dot 3 hours. The constant squealing and crying was not the luxury safari experience advertised by Aquila and, more importantly, we were extremely concerned for the baby’s welfare given the jolting of the safari jeep. Not a suitable experience for little ones. 3. A few days prior to our arrival I emailed Aquila indicating that I have a severe food allergy and asked whether this was going to be OK with the buffet food. I never received a response. 4. Our Karoo Cottage itself was nice but a bit dated. We expected something more modern (I.e., bathroom and furniture) for the money paid. Our outdoor area was covered in debris and animal droppings, making it largely unusable. While we appreciate Aquila is a game reserve, things like this could be resolved by housekeeping to give guests better value for money. Overall, we had a good time at Aquila. But we would not recommend or return as we didn't feel the whole price (including the basic refreshments we had to pay for) was worth the money we paid.

What an awesome find. We spent one night here with friends. The hotel is perfectly situated for walking to restaurants, shopping and a walk around the Botanical gardens. The room was beautiful, with everything that you needed. The breakfast before we left was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from.

We loved staying at the Leeuwenhof Estate during our roundtrip through The Cape. Nice authentic rooms and a great vibe during the evening at the Leeuwenhof Estate. Definitely would recommend this place to stay as it also offers a great location for any day trips to main sights in and around the Cape Area.

What a perfect hotel for a quick stay in Franschoek - we based ourselves here for our days exploring on the wine tram, and it was perfect! Within walking distance to the tram, we could also walk to get pizza for dinner and there's a pub almost just across the road for a few drinks. The Hussar Grill was lovely for dinner, breakfast was great and rooms were super comfortable, beds are delightful, lots of pillows and comfy sheets. Staff are really lovely too :)
