Reviews and Ratings
I was really looking forward to staying at this hotel, but my experience was quite disappointing. While the service was attentive and the staff tried their best to accommodate us, the rooms clearly need some urgent renovations and maintenance. The location is convenient for accessing attractions, but I’d suggest considering other options if you're looking for modern comforts.
Our layover stay in this hotel was delightful, featuring a charming old-world atmosphere and attentive service. The suite we had was spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. However, the restaurant experience left us unimpressed due to a noisy lunch crowd and a lackluster dessert selection. Overall, it felt like great value for money, especially considering the location and amenities.
We had a wonderful stay at Winchester Mansions Hotel, which was a perfect way to conclude our holiday in Africa. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure we felt safe in Capetown and providing excellent meal options. However, there were some hiccups, such as a few issues during breakfast and our room's view being obstructed, which slightly impacted our experience. Overall, we would definitely return!
My stay at this boutique hotel was wonderful! The room was spacious and comfortable, and I really enjoyed the stunning view from my window. The dining experiences exceeded my expectations, especially the breakfast. However, the noise from events inside the hotel was a bit disruptive during the day, so it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet getaway.
Our stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable with fantastic dining that truly impressed us, especially the breakfast. While the service was friendly and helpful, we encountered some issues regarding room privacy and cleanliness that affected our experience. The location was perfect for our needs, but the rooms could use some serious updates to match the overall appeal of the property.
