The absolute best place to stay in Simon’s Town! It’s right on the water and close to everything. We were sadly there the night the town turned the power off for electrical work but it was still a very comfortable night. The staff were very friendly and told us all about the local history. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The welcoming was exactly the opposite, not welcoming. It kind of sets the mood for your entire experience and in the end, you feel it is a waste of money, and you let everyone you know not to go to this Hotel. It's disappointing that a birthday just became
and exercise of \"I can't wait until it's over\".

Really helpful staff, nice hotel, don’t get room 108 as it’s above the kitchen (noisy) ’ we did and moved to 103 the next day.
The B&B option is not worth it after a few days.
Good Castle lager.
The car park is security monitored but some of the ‘guards’ pester for money.
Three days are long enough at Simonstown, naval museum, submarine and Boulders Bay.

What I liked about this hotel was the location and that there was adequate parking outside. Whilst the hotel didn't have a restaurant and we had to go outside to a local place, it wasn't any distance and the food options were what I expected

The room was very nice although the bed had no top sheet and sleeping directly under a duvet can be rather hot.

It rained on two of the days and there is no covered walkway between the hotel and the hotel restaurant.

The town has become centre stage for a baboon troop and one has to dodge baboons when walking about town, shopping, or going to restaurants.

If you planning on doing the shark dive or whale watching, this hotel is a great location 5 mins walk to the pier. The room was great big and had a great view of the harbour.

Lovely little hotel right where you need to be, clean and spacious and I was upgraded to a horbour view room 👍 I was diving off Simon’s Town and had one night as it was convenient for me due to the location of the dive centre. Loads of shops, bars and restaurants around to fill your boots 😊

Sorry, not 4 Star

Hotel is in a great location in the centre of Simons Town and our room had a good sea view and was spacious, however, the reception and the rooms had a slight aroma of stale fried food from the restaurants below.
The room itself is in need of repair and ungrade, bed was comfortable, but hard floor whilst swept however the surface was certainly not clean, we quickly we had very dirty soles to our feet. The underside of the shower seat was very badly stained and unhygienic, towels were old and one had a few small holes, surfaces in the bedroom were badly marked and repair or replacement needed as do the walls, no hair dryer was provided and on request the one offered also didn’t work! Our key card didn’t work and the one provided was the hotel master key to all rooms!!! It’s fortunate we’re honest! not sure if I had been happy knowing a random guest could easily enter my room. Balcony was in need of a good clean and sweep, we were also warned about Baboons who were nearby. In fairness the staff were friendly and attentive but the owners need to invest in their hotel and support and train staff. It’s not a 4 star hotel, we stayed in 4 star SA hotels either side of this stay and the difference was frankly very noticeable. Lastly the fire alarm went off one evening due to a client using a fire door upstairs, apparently a regular occurrence?

Absolutely stunning view of the harbor! The staff is incredible from reception to housekeeping. Our room was ready early and they were so kind and helpful. The hotel is located just above what Sauvers, which became our favorite restaurant from the first night. Definitely recommend the boat company whale tour if you have a chance. Just across the street at cafe Pescado we had one of the best burgers (house made patties). We will definitely recommend to anyone and look forward to coming back.

The hotel itself is ideally located and the staff are super helpful and can’t do enough for you. What let’s it down is the state of disrepair, particularly the fact that the key card machine is broken so every time you want to access your room a member of staff has to let you in.

Lovely little hotel with ocean views.

Loved our stay here. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the two lovely ladies on reception.
The room was modern and ours had a balcony with great views over the ocean.
It's located right in the centre of Simon's Town with lots of restaurants and cafes very close.
A 5 minute drive to Boulders beach where you can see all the penguins. Definitely recommend and pay the little extra for the balcony room.

Nice stay but twin beds not ideal.

We had a nice stay at aha Simon's Town. The rooms were clean and had the usual toiletries and water you would expect, and the breakfast downstairs was good.

The only issue about our stay was we booked a double room via Hotels.com (selecting either double or 2 x single beds at checkout) which was just a preference. When we arrived, there were only twin rooms available.

To add more confusion, the hotel's own literature in the room says that all rooms have kingsize beds?

More clarification needed over beds and just to make aware you may get twin beds when booking double.

Great harbourside nautical hotel

The hotel is beautiful and the room very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. We requested a room with a view over the harbour and were rewarded with a quite stunning view over False Bay. Only mild irritant was the lack of free WiFi - maybe we misinterpreted something, but when the description mentioned WiFi, we weren't expecting it to be chargeable.

My review

The hotel is in a beautiful location. the staff is pleasant. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance. Parking is free and convenient. It is about 30 kilometers from Cape Town so if you are planning to commute back and forth to Cape Town it takes a while, especially given that there is major construction on the only road back to Cape Town. The view of the harbor is beautiful. My only complaint is that the summary states that wi-fi is available in the lobby. this is not true. The only way to access wi-fi in this hotel is to purchase either time or amounts of data from a mind boggling list of options. Even once purchased, getting set up on the purchased wi-fi is extremely difficult.
