Blaauwberg Beach Hotel

Very happy with this hotel. The staff was friendly, helpful. The location is gorgeous and the interior is fantastic, very romantic.

It is just right in front of the beach with beautiful view. No knowing if there are any convinent stores around. Good for business meeting.

A lot to improve in this hotel Don’t wait a lot from staff. Two thirds of them are not suitable for their job unfortunately

Good hotel

Great!

每次來南非都住這裏，海景絕美！

風景不錯，對着海邊

This hotel is a very nice place to stay, esp if you book it at the under 150 bucks rate that it is available year round except for the Xmas and New Year period. Even with the high season last minute dynamic pricing highway robbery rates we booked, and with all our requests for room type being ignored thanks to a third party booking site, we were pleased with the stay. Thanks to the diligent staff, esp Lydia who worked hard to make sure we got a room with most of the features booked, we had a very nice stay at a very busy time. The staff is exceptional and with loss of functionality in half the electric outlets in our room, they rapidly sent repair staff late at night to fix a tripped circuit. The balconies provide views of the beach - be sure to ask for a high floor or you will be stuck above the noisy restaurant/bar. Rooms seem newly renovated and are very comfortable. Beds are very comfortable. The only negative was the horrible mayhem at breakfast and the overworked and clearly miserable staff who could not keep up with the almost animalistic behavior of the hungry tourist masses. It was hard not to sympathasize with their disdain, trying to remain polite as guests demand four egg omlettes piled with 10x the normal volume of ingredients- or waste endless bowls of food they had to replenish. Breakfast was simply unpleasant, but was as much due to fellow guests as the tired staff. One thing to consider is that it will cost you a significant amount in Uber or taxi fees to and from Cape Town and it takes at least 35 minutes each way, without traffic, and longer, if things are busy. If you plan on being in town daily, you may want to stay somewhere closer. But if you need a break from the city, this is a very nice place to take it.

I am a manager at a big corporate. We often make use of the hotel to host conferences and most of the time we then also book 10+ people in for accommodation. Last week we paid for a confernce for 40+ people. With meals, drinks etc, it is good business for the hotel. We also booked in 15+ people to stay over. On the first day of the confernce, one of our employees experienced a health scare by fainting. We decided to send her home and I requested the hotel if they can please cancel the room or give us a credit for future use. The manager flatly refused and demanded a doctor's note. Some of his hotel staff witnessed the incident. I cant believe a manager or a business can be so short-sighted to apply proper business acumen. My division will definitely not make use of this hotel again and the plan was to have more conferences later this year and in future. Regarding my own room A3 or A4, whenever I took a shower the whole room was under water. The shower door is in dire need of some silicon. The toilet seat was loose and the aircon did not work.
