Magellans Hotel

Cape Town|0.87km from Windmill Beach
This bed and breakfast is in the ideal location to visit Simon’s town and its coastline however the actual set up of the bed and breakfast is a huge let down. We arrived to find our room was not ready, once it was the place still looked unkempt, there was a bucket in the bath, the furniture had not been returned to its original locations well and the complimentary items seemed used. On our second night there was load shedding a common occurrence however there seemed to be no precautionary measures taken and we had to use our phone lights to climb the three flights of stairs to our room only to find the rechargeable light (obviously for such occasions) had no batteries and was therefore useless. As South African citizens we fully understand the uncertainty of power but for the cost and normal clientele of this accommodation we really expected there to be more in place. The meal times had been adjusted for the convenience of the staff who were on the premises compared to the welcome sheet details we received on arrival. The whole place seemed to be being run by support staff with no obvious manager on site for the three days we were there (we stayed over a weekend which I would assume to be a prime time) There is about 4 parking sports in front of the building but they were not being used to their full potential and often we had to park a little further away. Overall the location was the main positive. Considering the price we would have hoped to have better amenities and hope that the profile for this accommodation can be amended as there are no pools on the property unlike what the description had lead us to believe. Luckily the charm of Simon’s town and the beaches made up for the serious lack of attention to detail and luxury you would assume a place this price and in this location would have. 3/10 would probably not go there again.

Boulders Beach Hotel, Cafe and Curio Shop
4/553 Reviews
We had a very nice stay. The property is a stone throw away from the beach and penguins. The views from the dining area are gorgeous. Staff were friendly and professional. Our room was very clean but did not have a lot of space to move around. The shower was not draining water so it was uncomfortable showering with water up to the ankles. Our room was next to the kitchen and it gets noisy when the staff are talking over the deep fryer noise etc. There was no wifi signal in our room. We will be coming back, the Hotel location is just too perfect!!!
Abington Manor Fish Hoek Guesthouse
4.5/59 Reviews
Had a wonderful stay at Abington Manor. Brilliantly looked after by Prisca and her team- amazing breakfast. The lodge is immaculate with a lovely pool and garden and is perfectly situated for walking to the beach. Richard took us on two great day trips- firstly to Bloubergstrand and then to two vineyards. Thank you Richard for sharing your extensive local knowledge. We would definitely recommend Abington and we will be back next year! Many thanks
Whale View Manor & Spa
4.2/549 Reviews
So nice! This hotel is suitable for self-driving tours, the location is excellent, facing the sea, although there are not many rooms, but the home is warm, the service is good, and the breakfast is good. The key is that it is very close to the place to see the penguins. You can drive for 5 minutes and walk for 2 kilometers.

The Cheriton Guest House
5/511 Reviews
Booked in at the Cheriton guesthouse on the 16th till the 21st January 2022. Was perfect for my fiance and myself. The room was neat and clean. The meals were delicious. The service was brilliant. It's perfectly situated in the hear of Simonstown and made travelling around to the places we wanted to visit very convenient. Thank you Ros, Nicole and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend the Cheriton Guesthouse.
Simon's Town Quayside Hotel
4.2/570 Reviews
This hotel is right in the heart of Simons Town where you can enjoy the hussle and bussle of the quayside. It has reserved parking for guests which was handy. The staff were very friendly and the room we had was lovely. It was very spacious, very clean and the bed was massive and very comfortable. We had a tv with limited English channels, a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Our room was overlooking the Quay which was lovely. We were warned about the baboons being able to open the doors but we didn't have the pleasure of them during our stay. The hotel is in a great location and it's right next to the tourist office which is run by a great guy. Very very helpful. It's also next to Frans restaurant which was lovely. The only thing that would have made our stay perfect was if we had been told about the load shedding. As new arrivals we didn't know about the power outages so we were happily watching TV and all the electric went off except some table lamps. We had no idea what was going on so decided to go to bed, only to be woken up 2 hours later by the TV coming back on...not good when you've been travelling for 22hrs. .. other than that, I'd say this is a great place to stay.
