Home Suite Hotels was an excellent choice! I will definitely be recommending this hotel and would easily book it again. The rooms were pristine. Bed was comfortable. Felt warm and cozy, and the shower pressure was perfect after long weeks of traveling.

We stayed over for one night but was so impressed with the room. Everything is well thought of, the bathroom is not squeezed in, the bed was so comfortable and the room was properly equipped (small fridge, coffee machine, well stocked). Everything looks modern, feels (and is) clean and inviting and very "homey and warm". Definitely would recommend and definitely would stay there again!!!

Lovely German couple who own the property were very friendly, helpful, informative, & gave us good recommendations as wall as insights into the culture/history of SA. Cheerful, colourful, whimsical property, each room is different, great breakfast!! Lovely cook and staff! Location in Seapoint was 10 minutes walk to the waterfront promenade, in a mostly residential area, was safe and close to lots of eateries, shops, and specialty coffee. Easy 10 walk to the red hop on hop off bus stop (near Winchester Hotel). Bonus: Every morning at breakfast we could watch the paragliding/parasailing above our house, coming down from Signal hill!

This is a fabulous guest house, the owner Jaques meets you and is really welcoming and informative. All the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is a nice continental buffet style, with plenty of options. There are two pools, we only used the main one, but very clean and a good temperature. Plenty of towels and beds / seating by the pool. They also have a driver, who will shuttle you around for approximately the same cost as an uber, but he's very reliable and that’s important. The rooms are very well equipped, plenty of storage, a safe and comfy beds. There's an honesty bar, which is well stocked for most needs I would think. We will absolutely go back to stay the next time we are in Constantia.

    The location of the Barracks Apartments is perfect for visiting an exploring Cape Town. Excellent central location and the added bonus of on-site shopping underground secure parking topped it off. The apartment was spotless with 2 really good size double rooms with en-suite and a living area ideal for 2 couples.

The apartment had all the basic amenities including first kit set and sanitary items. Books, magazines and puzzles for leisure activities were also available.

    We could not fault this property. It had all the security and comfort you would wish for when visiting Cape Town. The bedrooms were big and the open bathroom in master made the whole feel bright and spacious. We found this location to be ideal for a family holiday with a toddler. The waterfront has many activities for the little ones, including soft play in some cafes. There are endless options for dining nearby including high end (Nobu etc) and the Time Out Market with lots of cheap eats.
