Hotel Dengan spa di Western Cape, South Africa

I stayed here for one night as I was transiting Cape Town with a flight the following morning. The check-in experience was pretty quick and seamless, as my booking was pre-paid. I stayed here being fully aware of the carbon-neutral moto. The hotel appeared clean and tidy. The free shuttle from the airport was trouble-free. The directions to the pick-up was simple to follow. The pick-up was on time, and it was a very short ride to the hotel - literally a matter of minutes. The room I was allocated - 233 - was spacious and clean. However, I was surprised by the bizarre layout, especially with the way the shower and bedroom is almost open plan - only a screen separate the two areas. The toilet is separated by a door, though. Other than that, I had no major issues with the room. The bed was large and comfortable, my sleep was not disturbed and it was generally a positive short stay. The shower worked fine, it took a little getting use to the water-saving feature in the sink tap. The toilet flush may have a malfunction, because it would stay stuck when pressed, and required tapping for the button to return from a pressed state. I felt safe during my stay, and was reassured by the security procedures in place when booking an Uber - drivers are asked to scan their driving licence at the gate when entering the grounds. The drive to the V&A Waterfront was about 25-30 minutes. I had a late lunch at the hotel restaurant - Nuovo. The menu was okay, but not spectacular. I visited the restaurant when it was relatively quiet with diners. However, I found staff were not particularly attentive. It took a while before someone approached me and provided a menu. The vegan burger I order was nice, even if it looked a bit dry. It was the only chargeable thing I incurred, which I put on the room (250 ZAR to pay on check-out). The breakfast is a decent buffet of hot and cold food, plus live omelette bar. There’s also pancake making facilities, automatic coffee machines and more. On check-out, to my surprise, I was informed of bills totally 600 ZAR. I explained that I only had one meal at 250 ZAR, which the reception staff accepted. However, a few days later, I received emails claiming that I had an unpaid bill for 350 ZAR, which I had to explain again in my response (I did not receive further contact after that). I think this was a case of staff incorrectly reading a room number when processing, or a guest deliberately giving the wrong room number. I caught the shuttle back to the airport after checking out, again trouble-free. All-in-all, a very good airport hotel, and one I could easily recommend to others.

This hotel boasts a five-star standard in terms of amenities and service, even though its location isn't right by the beach. The infrastructure and service levels definitely meet five-star expectations. Parking is a bit pricey at 250 rand per night. There's an indoor heated pool on the second floor, which is a bit small, probably around 15 meters long, and quite dim as it relies solely on artificial light since there are no windows. On a brighter note, the breakfast is excellent. Overall, it's definitely a recommended stay.

What sets Pepperclub Hotel apart from its competitors in the same range is the people who work there. From the minute you step in until you leave, they welcome you with open arms, look out for you and make every bit of your stay pleasurable and comfortable. To Ndumi, Luke, Colin, Libona, Jason, Ethan and all of the staff working there, you are doing an excellent job! As a solo female traveller, I truly appreciated how you looked out for me. The daily shuttle to and fro to V&A waterfront (every 2 hours) and to Camps Bay (twice a day) made moving around easy. The room was well-cleaned and maintained. Location-wise, it was a short Uber ride from any tourist hotspot in the city. I would highly recommend Pepperclub Hotel to anyone looking for a hotel that truly takes care of its guests.

The Westin, Cape Town, is an old hotel, but it continues to maintain its presence, quality, and some high standard in Cape Town. We stayed here for 8 days, during a friend's 60th birthday celebration event in Cape Town. We occupied an executive room and were also given access to the executive club on the 19th floor. The room was very nice, with good linen, bed of high standard. That said, we had to lodge a complaint on the hurried nature of how our room was cleaned on our second day of stay. The bed was not made properly, the carpet floor wasn't clean, and the bathroom was half cleaned. It's not good for a 5-star hotel. After complaining, the housekeeper made amends, and the cleaning standard was raised to the highest standard for the duration of our stay. We also ordered food from room service and half of what we ordered were not brought - they gave us something else, but after waiting for 45 mins for the original order to be brought to us we reluctabtly accepted the wrong order, ate the food and then lodged our complaints later. The breakfast buffet was alright, but there weren't great selections of cold meats in the cold meat section. They really need to improve on this. Lastly, the overall service delivery by some of the staff really need serious improvement. Some of the staff in the restaurant are way too loud when talking to each other, and some of them even give out bad unwelcoming and nonchalant attitude/vibe to their customers. It is like they feel that they're doing us, their clients, a favour by serving us. Not good enough for a hotel of this standard, abd some of those staff need to be retrained. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at The Westin and we will definitely come back there when next we visit Cape Town.

Very good, clean, live on the upper floors overlooking the beautiful scenery of Cape Town, especially when you get up early, very good, there are many types of breakfast, very delicious, it is recommended,

The location is excellent, although the hotel is a bit old, but the overall clean. Breakfast is not bad. The highlight is that the hotel has a shuttle bus to the waterfront.

The location of the hotel, the surrounding environment did not have to say, the room was large and comfortable. It is very unfortunate that the backpack was placed in the hotel room, and the cash theft occurred, which caused a large loss. The police in Cape Town are very inefficient, because they have to enlist a guide to help them coordinate the follow-up if they want to catch a plane back to Johannesburg.

Mooiplaas is a stunning venue for a clean, crisp peaceful getaway.  The views overlooking the orange skyline and Ostriches doing their thing was, Oh so lovely!! The place is well managed and the staff are a friendly bunch of good old happy country folk. Nothing was ever too much. The food was delicious and fresh fruits and vegetables were delivered everyday.  The rooms are old but neat. The wooden floors give the place a vintage feel.  The old brown  wall to wall carpet was not great but the beautiful rugs thrown over it made is bearable. They have some good quality books to read and enjoy. The breakfast and dinner menu was on point👌🏾👌🏾. I loved the home baked bread 😋 😋. The breakfast box prepared before my 5am-120km ride was excellent! It was prepared excavtly As I had requestes.  I have already booked for my next trip😍😍. I loved seeing the stuff happy and enjoying their work. It’s always a good sign when staff enjoy what they do. I think I might have made a friend or two. The curio shop is interesting and the service at the Spa was… you guessed it, Oh so lovely!!☺️

The food was amazing. Some of the best ive had. The catering staff worked hard, fast and very attentive. They laughed and made you very welcome. Fantastic service at every meal, drink and question asked. Reception was average. We told them that there were... No cushions on the sunbeds No deodorants in the room No towels in the rooms on 2 occasions No sunbed towels. Recepion told us they would sort it, but it took 6 times of asking to get sun cushions arrived upstairs. No deodorant at all delivered. Towels not given until following day. The reception staff were very short with their reply and made us feel in the wrong for asking. Rooms were big, clean and bed was very comfortable. Large balcony but needed table and chairs. There was 1 chair, we asked for another one but it never arrived The pool on the top floor was nit clean and not moving so felt like getting into a pond. . Very remote area so you cant walk any where to get anything you have to rely on the hotel. The hotel had alot of upgrade work going on and the carpets were filthy with wood chips.

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is a league of it's own. Our driver picked us up from Cape Town and it took about 2 and a half hours to reach the gate of Sanbona From the gate to our glamping tents was another 90 mins drive into an expansive dessert - 62,000 hectares We got real lucky and saw Lionesses, Cheetah, Giraffes, Hippos, Rhinos, Baboons, Elephants etc. Our Guide Joe was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable The glamping tents were so spacious, connecting you right back to nature with outdoor showers, jacuzzi etc Our meals were fantastic, and they can accommodate to most dietary restrictions. We ended up trying both the Springbok, Kudu, Hake, Kingklip - all local delicacies Love how South African wines were included in our full board experience allowing us to sample Bruts, Rosé and even their Pinotage We ended the evening stargazing as usual, this time being able to see both the Southern and Northern Hemispheree
