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 wanted to share my experience with trying to book a Mother’s Day Lunch at Waves Restaurant. On Monday 6 May I called the hotel reception to be put through to Waves restaurant in order to make a reservation for Mother’s Day Lunch. They then told me I had to contact reservations and put me back to the reception who told me I’d to book online. When I went to book online it was only for accommodation so I left an enquiry message requesting a restaurant booking. Next day I didn’t hear anything so called again. I left my details and once again didn’t hear back so today, Wednesday, I called into the hotel in the morning and again had to leave my details with reception as the person was in a meeting and would contact me when available. By the afternoon I again heard nothing so went in again to be told that they were full and had been fully booked since Monday. No one had even bothered to advise me of this so now it’s too late to book anywhere else so they’ve screwed us over. Thanks for that! It really doesn’t make it conducive to try your hotel for the first time especially when it’s so complicated to make a restaurant reservation.
