I debated writing this review because part of me wanted to gatekeep this place… but who knows when we’ll be back in South Africa? Atlantic View Hotel delivered hands down the best service we’ve ever experienced at a hotel. I didn’t want to leave. The bed was unbelievably comfy, the view was stunning, and don’t even get me started on the breakfast, just wow. Every single staff member was so friendly and welcoming. We had the best time and will 100% stay here again when we return to SA.

This was the first time for my husband and I to experience Cape Town, South Africa. It was the most wonderful time we've ever had celebrating our wedding anniversary. The owner, Greg, was sure to provide us with precheckin guidance and tourist recommendations. The accommodations at this hotel were superb with beautiful decorative touches and amazing first class meals. We felt we were treated like that of royalty. We were placed in the Penthouse suite, which was absolutely beautiful with amazing sunset views. The staff was truly amazing. Most specifically, Sven and Rebecca were awesome. They added a personal touch that made them feel most like family. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to have an incredible lifelong experience that they will treasure forever. Thank you again to the staff for accommodating us, making us feel welcomed, appreciated, and for making sure every need was met from the time we arrived until we left.

Pros:
1) Gracious owner.
2) Amazing views (you can see Lion's Head, Table Top Mountain, and the coastline below).
3) Incredible breakfast/food.

Cons:
1) Shower was luke warm at max temp.
2) No bathtub.
3) No jacuzzi and the pools (there's two of them which is great for a boutique hotel) were unheated. As we visited in winter, it meant they were unuseable.
4) Dated decor; not upscale.
5) Small rooms with low ceilings.
6) Outrageously priced for what you get. We paid $900 US per night for a family of 3 (father/mother/son) in a small shared room during low season. One & Only was only minimally more expensive.
6) The service, which was touted as anazing, was average.

Overall, not a luxury hotel.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. The views are breathtaking. The water view is stunning and Tabletop mountain is so close it feels like it’s in the back yard. Every single person we encountered, staff and guests, was polite, helpful, and warm. The hotel room was spacious and the decor was ultra modern. Atlanticview Cape Town is a must do!!

A brilliant hotel to stay at Camps Bay, Cape Town.
The only downside is the shower pressure and we mentioned it to them.
Apart from that, it was the best boutique hotel we have ever stayed in and we'll definitely be back.
Every member of staff we interacted with was brilliant.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time here - nothing was too much trouble for the staff and, although there was some renovation work going on it didn’t spoil our visit at all. The views are spectacular and a short drive down into Camps Bay (at a very reasonable cost in the hotel car) gives you plenty of excellent dining options. Can’t recommend this place highly enough (although I’d rather keep it quiet!!)

Upon checking in they told us there are renovation works going on and we could get a full refund and get a room elsewhere. Really, on such a short notice? The owner could have informed us about the renovation works going on when he sent us an email asking what time will our arrival be. There were renovation noise, dust and workers walking around right outside our terrace during our 3 days 2 nights stay. Sound proofing doesn’t exist. Could hear other guests’ kids running about and shouting at night. When we got back from sightseeing on the 2nd day there were renovation dust in our bathroom basins and all over our toiletries. No apologies and the staff even asked why we chose to stay there even when we were aware of the renovation works. It’s terribly disappointing. The food offering was mediocre and quantity was pathetic. For the price we paid (for the most expensive suite, the best they claimed) we could have gotten somewhere much much better than this place. Owner just wants to make money and couldn’t care less about their guest experience. Never coming back again and highly wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here. Guess the people who left raving reviews about this place probably hadn’t seen better.

Fantastic luxery boutique hotel in Camps Bay

A really nice place. Everything is superb about this place. Service, ambiance, food, location. Views are spectacular. Car service into Camps Bay and from/to the airport is very convenient as well. Highly recommend it. Only thing I can think of improving on is the music that is played throughout the place … the 'elevator' music might be ok for a retirement home or for, well, an elevator, but not for a place like Atlanticview. A more contemporary, hip, music choice would be much better.

An absolute gem of a boutique hotel

We had a fabulous 2 nights at the Atlanticview Hotel celebrating our 15yr wedding anniversary. They made us feel so welcome with a bottle of fizz and a room upgrade which was completely unexpected.
The complementary wine and canapes were a lovely touch each evening and the breakfast served in our room each day was the best breakfast we have ever had and so indulgent. We cannot fault the staff in any way, they were friendly and couldn't do enough for us, service to such a high standard that we have rarely seen elsewhere.
A fantastic boutique hotel in a quiet residential spot overlooking Camps Bay Would definitely visit again and would recommend to all friends and family

There is not enough words to describe how amazing this accommodation was- it was absolutely breathtaking! The staff was astronomically helpful and went above and beyond to make my stay an extremely enjoyable one- you’re the BEST! Greg was an absolute delight and beyond amazing as was his staff 🤗-I absolutely love this gentleman and his knowledge for this area and Africa as a whole was extraordinary. I will truly miss Alanticview and all it’s hidden beauty and amazing staff and guest. Thank you all for the remarkable and memorable experience.

Nice little boutique hotel at the top of camps bay

The AtlanticView is a small boutique style hotel. The room was nice with a comfortable bed with lots of pillows. The room had small balcony overlooking the pool area and looking out to the fantastic ocean view. Amenities wise it was fine, although the TV was very limited- BBC news as the only international news channel..

The staff were very nice.

Definitely would recommend.

Worst hotel experience!

Booking Experience: Greg (owner), took our inquiry about airport shuttle as an opportunity to upsell us a wine ($350) and cape point tour ($350) through his travel company. As strange and distasteful as this upselling was, we didn’t think much about it at that time and went ahead with booking the tour and the airport transportation.

Room: Our room, which was advertised as romantic and exclusive, was essentially an extension of the lounge. It was so awkward that when we opened the door to leave the room, the door would slam into guests who were sitting at the bar enjoying their drinks (see pictures).

Customer Service: After not receiving a response for 24 hours, we decided to once again follow up with the staff. We spoke with Wesley (GM) who told us that Greg will switch us for a per night fee of $300 (we paid $390 for our room). We explained to Wesley that the room is not as advertised and that we were told that we would be able to switch without any fees, he became very aggressive.

Greg: Later that night we ran into Greg in the lobby. He began by introducing himself and complained about how hungover. We were not interested in hearing about his benders so we cut to the chase and expressed our discontent with our room. He also became very defensive, and almost verbatim re-iterated the same points that Wesley had a little earlier that evening.

We had an amazing stay. The view of the ocean from our room was stunning. The room was spacious,clean and nicely decorated. Very comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast, very well prepared and presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location in camps bay. Unfortunately most things are not within walking distance, even walking to the beach in Camps bay can take 20-30 minutes. The hotel offers transport to most common destinations but this costs extra. I would highly recommend this place.

Staying at The Atlanticview Boutique Hotel was simply amazing. From the comfort of the room to the spectacular views, everything was great. The location is quiet and made for a relaxing stay. We tenjoyed the wonderful breakfast, and the wine and canapés each evening. However, what made the stay special was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were friendly, helpful, attentive, and truly seemed to care about us as guests, not customers. Never did we see the staff hurried, flustered or not in a great mood! Staying at a large, ritzy hotel could never equal the experience of staying at the Atlanticview Boutique Hotel.

The Little Hotel with the Best Service

I had one day in Cape Town coming back from Hermanus and flying the next morning. Got in at 11am but unfortunately checking-in was only at 2pm. So the hotel staff advised me to go for a tour of Cape Town on the tour bus, which I did and spent the afternoon at Table Mountain. The weather was good and the air was clear and fresh. Upon returning, I spent the rest of the day resting in my room and had dinner, which was very good. The next day, i took the hotel transport to the airport. Next time I come around, I will definitely stay at Atlanticview Cape Town Boutique Hotel!
