Guest Reviews
- Sally_Lightfoot74 (10/5): Self catering apartment B - We stayed 3 nights in the self catering apartment (B). The apartment is small but very well thought off. Everything you need, is there. The bed is very comfortable and at night it is quiet. The apartment is in a safe neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay. Supermarket is near and you have a decent sea sight in the balcony.
- yholt516968 (10/5): Great Stay close to everything - I had a lovely stay here. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated. I recommend it to solo travellers and couples. You won’t be disappointed
- jnsend579503 (10/5): Exceptional - a true home away from home - This was our second stay at Villa Rosa, and once again it exceeded all expectations. We stayed in the house this time and couldn’t fault a thing. The service was outstanding. Everyone was warm, genuine, and incredibly attentive. A special thank you to the staff for making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We were also truly grateful for a complimentary upgrade during our extended stay, which made a big difference and showed how guest-focused the team is. Breakfast was consistently delicious and beautifully prepared, with something different to enjoy each morning. The property itself is peaceful, well-maintained, and perfectly located as it was quiet and tucked away, yet close enough to safely walk to everything in Sea Point. Villa Rosa really feels like a home away from home.
- lawrencerikhotso (10/5): Mr Lawrence Mahlomule Rikhotso - A very neat and beautiful property with a warm welcoming staff. The breakfast was super good and delicious. The property is surrounded by many places of attractions such Table Mountain and beaches to explore the beauty of Atlantic Ocean. Our rooms and beddings were changed and prepared daily. The security was forever available and visible to assist us when going in and out of the porperty.
- mmoren726954 (10/5): Beautiful room and wonderful breakfast - We had a wonderful stay at Villa Rosa. All the staff were extremely helpful and kind. As soon as we arrived, they gave us a map and plenty of recommendations for things to do around the city. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom had a small heated rail, which was fantastic for washing and drying our clothes. They also provide beach towels that you can request to take with you when you go out, which was very convenient. Parking is limited, but it is safe to park on the street outside the hotel. If the parking area is full, there is no problem parking nearby. The breakfast was outstanding, with daily variations, freshly cooked for you. The location is excellent—very safe and close to many great places to eat. I highly recommend Villa Rosa, and thank you to everyone for the wonderful service!
- floren635561 (10/5): Perfection - Everything perfect The location.close to the city and the Sea The rooms with kitchen end private patio.very secure zone.the staff Always very kind and ready to help.
- cwurdi977423 (10/5): Nice place, wonderful people - We had a wonderful stay at Villa Rosa. The room was charming and very clean, and the breakfast was great.
- lklink283209 (10/5): Lovely hotel with kind staff and delicious breakfast - We absolutely loved staying here. We arrived far too early but nevertheless we were welcomed warmly and our room prepared for us. The hotel is lovely, there's always food and water to grab and the delicious, cooked breakfast changes every day. Great location to explore the city. And last but not least - all the staff are really nice :)
- kbolin598877 (10/5): Only positive things to say about Villa Rosa - I stayed in three different rooms over the course of my visits in and out of Cape Town. The owners and staff accommodated my schedules with flight departures and arrival times and were always so welcoming and fun to chat with. The rooms were all lovely, comfortable beds and the little garden so peaceful.
- rhenoc971110 (10/5): An excellent hotel and stay in Sea Point, Cape Town, SA - May stay was only two days, but I should have stayed longer. I've stayed in the hotel part (not the appartments part) and it was lovely time to be there for me. The house from in and outside is beautiful, cultured and quite a littel on the hill at High Level Road Sea Point. All staff was very friendly. My room, bathroom were comfortable, sunny lightful with balcony in front and view to the seaside. Five minutes walk to be in the main road and coast. I loved the breakfast every day with day specials eggs. Next time when I visite Cape Town I will have this hotel in mind for booking again. Thanks to all.
- kpater788460 (10/5): Wonderful stay! - We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Villa Rosa. Chelsea was so welcoming and helpful during our stay while David, the chef, made us a delicious breakfast. The hotel is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach and is a good location for tour pickups. The hotel is very clean and the beds comfortable. We would highly recommend!
- Eunice (10/5): - Villa Rosa is ideally situated within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beachfront.
- 50dicos (10/5): Holiday - Excellent Stay. We appreciated the fact that one could walk to the sea and to walk on the promenade .It was comforting when coming home at night the guard on duty opened the gates promptly having recognised us on his screen. We suggest that room 6 needs to have a second chair. Chelsea rendered her services in a very professional, efficient and friendly manner.
- tshche360178 (10/5): 2 wonderful nights in cozy, century-old house - It was my first visit to Cape Town. A lot of reviews say that it is not very safety city, but there are still places where is more peaceful than in others. The area, where hotel is located, seemed quiet and suitable for the first meeting with this city) The hotel itself I liked very much: stylish interiors, comfortable bed, it was quite warm (we stayed in early September). The breakfasts — separate story! absolutely delicious))) Many thanks to the stuff of the hotel)
- Dawn (10/5): - Wonderful have essential condiments and bathroom necessities available. The noisy entrance door at the lobby needs attention as it is disturbinog.
- Susiepoohdurban (10/5): Wonderful House - We stayed at Villa Rosa before heading to Stellenbosch for a conference. The rooms are spectacular and spotless. Grand Old Dame for sure. Chelsea was so kind to us all and very accommodating at our request for early breakfast before leaving for our conference.
- mallie481926 (6/5): Review - Nice sea view with balcony would be nice having an aircon installed as the heater not really warming up the room clean and tidy the one disturbance was that you could hear the next door residence using their bathroom as the wall is dry wall maybe upgrade it to a brick wall just to ensure privacy for both sides otherwise we enjoyed the stay.
- JanH5329 (10/5): Short stay in Cape Town - Three of us had to travel to CT for a city centre appointment , and stayed at Villa Rosa --- Friendly reception, perfect suites and delicious breakfast - will return there and can recommend it without hesitation.
- Dawn (10/5): - Privacy, Staff available when required and knowledgeable. Quite central while away from city buzz. Transport on doorstep.
- davidamartin2025 (10/5): Penthouse - Stayed in the separate penthouse property. Clean. Warm. Nice views and handy location I’ve stayed there twice now.
- djill648495 (10/5): Quaint Botique Hotel - My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Rosa. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The small details made our stay fabulous, from the juice and little cloths on trays while we checked in to the wonderful breakfast served with silver tea sets. Great value, too, as our stay included being picked up from the airport and breakfast daily. Well positioned too, as Uber rides to all parts of the city were very reasonable and shops were within walking distance. We will definitely visit again!
- MOHAMMED (10/5): - Like home
- joanne (10/5): - What I liked. Very convienent location. Room was beautiful. They gave me an extra duvet which was nice. There was a very nice guard at night who would see us to our car and make sure we were ok. The beds were comfortable the water was hot . room was gently heated not over heated. It is on High Level rd which can get busy in the day but it didnt bother us at all. Lighting was a bit dim but we were ok. Would definitely come back.
- Kirsty (10/5): - I felt very welcome and loved the overall atmosphere. The food was delicious, the room was comfortable, the staff were friendly and the area felt safe. Easy access to hiking trails just a few blocks away and downtown was walkable in under an hour (or uber was never more than a minute away). I would absolutely recommend and will definitely stay at the Villa Rosa again if I am back in Cape Town.
- ShakeIslam (10/5): Super amazing guesthouse/hotel! - Amazing guesthouse/hotel in a great location, 20mins from the airport, 10mins walk from the beach, super clean and easy to find! Staff were the best, the breakfast each morning was sublime, walking up the tasty smells, and the range on offer was perfect! I was welcomed with a drink and a wet towel, given information about the guesthouse/hotel and about the area, plus shown to the coffee machine which is complimentary, with marshmallows and cream biscuits/ cookies! Thank you again, loved the vibe of the place, loved the guesthouse, bed was huge and slept well, enjoyed my stay in Cape Town! Would definitely recommend this place, great home away from home as they say!
- zsonja384755 (10/5): Villa Rosa - We were not expecting such luxury for what we were paying. Their pictures do not do them justice! everything was great. the service, the cleanliness, the comfort and the location really suited us
- michaelfX9879LS (10/5): Fantastic - we stayed 4 nights at the villa rosa and it was really enjoyable. the location is great and its so close the sea point and main road with all the restaurants. chelsea was great and the breakfast fantastic. definitely a place to recommend to anyone who wishes to stay over in this area.
- cthero869820 (10/5): Lovely, well located BnB - I sadly got to spend only one night at The Villa Rosa. Communication was efficient, the room beautifully done and the bed very comfortable. It is well located to shops and restaurants in Sea Point and within walking distance from the sea. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Thank you for my very comfortable nights stay.
- Daniel (10/5): Custo Benefício Fantástico - Muito bem localizado, equipe muito educada e atenciosa, ótima limpeza e roupa de cama. Uma linda casa, com escadas para quem hospedado no andar superior, apenas um andar a mais. Ótimo chuveiro e banho. Muito bom café da manhã com ovos individuais feitos na hora.
- chait1788 (10/5): Well Located and very good rooms - The hotel is very good, the hotel room was amazing with a nice patio area. The staff are very friendly and the balcony was great. Hotel is located in a good spot - close to downtown, harbour area, table mountain and the coastal areas. Only concern is the parking spots at the hotel are not a lot and hence have to do street parking - although there is a lot of street parking space - just need to drive to find a spot. Overall would definitely recommend as a place to stay.
- noahlevy101 (10/5): Classy and comfortable home base in Sea Point - We could hardly have wished for a more wonderful way to start our trip to South Africa than staying at the Villa Rosa Guest House in Sea Point for 6 days. The location is perfect: one block from Main Road with all its shops and eateries, two blocks from the ocean front road with its long esplanade that is perfect for strolling. This area felt very safe for walking around, including after dark when we walked back from eating out in the neighborhood. Even so, the guest house compound felt extremely secure, with multiple locked doors and gates. The guest house itself is a small, charming bed and breakfast, and each room (we looked in several) seems to have a unique character. We stayed in Room 11 and would choose it again, as it is particularly quiet and private — far back from High Level Road (which gets a fair amount of traffic at certain times of day), enclosed in the middle of the compound, and has its own small outdoor “courtyard” with a fountain and sitting area. The room itself is spacious, with a comfy and old-fashioned sitting area (complete with fridge and tea/coffee station) separate from the bed, and a refurbished modern bathroom. Everything was clean and well kept, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were especially good (even compared to the other B&Bs we stayed at elsewhere on this trip), with a different main choice every day, each more delicious than the last, in addition to all the other breakfast options one might like. The staff at Villa Rosa really set itself apart from start to finish. David was our first encounter with the uniformly wonderful staff at this guest house. He was there at the front desk when we arrived, and his calm and friendly demeanor was such a perfect way to welcome us and get us settled after an extraordinarily long (26 hours) journey to South Africa from California. When we first arrived it was about 9 am — well before the normal check-in time. However, we had notified staff of this in advance by email, and to our great relief David had ensured that our room was ready early, so we could immediately get into our room and take a nap (after being welcomed with filtered water, tea and cookies). He made sure that all of our needs were met to be completely comfortable. We were treated just as well by the other staff, all of whom were a pleasure to interact with. Along with David, Chelsea was at the front desk for most of our stay. She noticed one morning that there was a (temporary) problem with our hot water supply before we had even noticed it ourselves — and promptly offered us the key to another room so we could shower there. (It was fixed by the end of the day.) The housekeeping staff did a wonderful job of making our room feel fresh every day, with small touches like fresh milk in our refrigerator so we could make tea or coffee in our room. And I want to give a special shout-out to Harley, the night desk clerk and security guard, who was there every night of our stay. I am a night owl by nature (and was also extremely jet-lagged at this point), so I was up for a good part of the night and would often go sit for a bit outside in the front garden. Harley was constantly making the rounds, both inside the compound and out on the street, making us feel extremely safe and secure at all times… and was there to help deal with any issues or questions that came up for us at any hour of the evening or night. One additional detail: Although we hadn’t planned on this, we decided to rent a car for 24 hours so we could drive down the Cape and spend a day exploring areas outside of Cape Town. So it was very nice to learn that there are three dedicated parking spots for guests in the Villa Rosa driveway that are under 24-hour video surveillance, which put at ease any concerns we might have had about parking our car on the street (even though Sea Point is a safe neighborhood). Bottom line — the Villa Rosa Guest House in Sea Point was a perfect home base for our stay in Cape Town. We would stay there again in a heartbeat, and would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting that lovely city.

- bpikoo287214 (8/5): 21 Cheviott Place review - Great apartment in Greenpoint. Super views of Stadium,and sea front. Would recommend that the host provides fresh Coffee, and tea...would be nice.
- Deborah (8/5): Convenient - Convenient. Easy walk to many good restaurants, cafes and the sea front.
- MP (10/5): Excellent guest house! - Great accommodation in excellent location - food, service, attitude and everything else was excellent. Will definitely return on my next visit to Cape Town
- Angelika (10/5): - All was good and friendly
- michellekY6868FU (10/5): Great Spot! - Had a lovely stay at the Villa Rosa. Great spot just a very short walk from the main road and the coastline in the great neighbourhood of Sea Point. Wonderful and spacious room, clean, and quiet, with very personable and helpful staff. Delicious breakfasts. Cute shops and grocery stores nearby, along with the great "Mojo Market" which is an easy place to grab a great meal when you're alone - or even with an indecisive larger group! If I ever end up back in Cape Town, I'd likely look for a spot at the Villa Rosa again - thanks for an amazing stay!
- maria75000 (8/5): villa rosa - very nice place , central , maybe the only relevant thing ,which we didnt like so much was the breakfast , always the same , but I have to say we stayed 2 weeks , so I guess this is less important for people , who book only for 3 or 4 days .
- Thomas (10/5): Kapstaden - Mycket bra boende👍
- Noushin (10/5): - We had a great time! Thank you
- kathyboylan (10/5): Lovely apartment - Lovely apartment ideally situated. 5 minute walk from shops, bars and restaurants. A good walk into Cape Town centre which has lots to do.
- jamemaarman95 (10/5): Penthouse A - We really enjoyed our stay The kitchen is well equiped and we enjoyed the balcony and the nice sea view. Everything was nice and clean,And we really enjoyed the quietness of the area.
- Juuli (8/5): - The place has a very good and friendly vibe and very nice attentive staff! My room No 2 was not the best as it has a big window facing the terrace of room No 1 so there is not much privacy. However, it is a very good location with many restaurants and the promenade nearby. It also is a cozy and comfortable place and good value for money! Would stay again but would try a different room.
- Tammy (10/5): - If you want to feel like you’re staying with your favourite cousins, this is the spot. Staff are sweet, owners friendly and helpful. Great communication. Rooms are all different (in a good way) and the breakfast is fabulous. My only suggestion is to offer a laundry option. Tbh they probably would have done so if I asked.
- Juuli (8/5): - Rooms facing the street are rather noisy and room 2 has no privacy as there is a balcony of room 1 right behind the window of the room. Overall, it’s a lovely place and the staff is super nice. It has a very good vibe and the location is superb!
- dbostrovsky (10/5): Warm and welcoming bed and breakfast - Lovely hotel! Very convenient location. Tons of restaurants are within walking distance. The room is so spacious and well decorated. The bed is super comfy. The water pressure in the shower is great. Breakfast was delicious! Excellent hosts!
- PaulLondon1 (10/5): Feeling I have returned home - I've stayed many years at the Villa Rosa, this time opting for the Villa Rosa Studios next door for a longer stay. The rooms and comfort are the same quality as the hotel, with the exception being the Studios provide no breakfast, and no daily room service (both are available at a charge), hence cheaper rates than the hotel. The bonus of the Studios is that they come with a small kitchen with cooker, air fryer, fridge-freezer, kettle, crockery, glasses, cutlery and assorted pans, all of a high quality. And each Studio has a small patio with water feature with seats and table outside. Check-in is still within the hotel, now with a welcome tea/'proper' coffee/biscuit 'station' whilst completing the simple check-in process. CCTV operates 24 hours a day, with security around the property at night including the small car park, and there is back up power in the event of the recent 'load shedding'. Good stable wi-fi is complimentary. The regular staff of Stephen, Chelsea and David made me feel most welcome on returning back.
- Kerstin (10/5): - Ich war zum zweiten Mal dort. Zentral gelegen . Immer woeder gerne!
- brian (10/5): - Lovely guest house Staff were excellent Especially Chelsea and David. Very comfortable bed. And great shower. Breakfast was also lovely No issues walking around thexarea after dark. Only tiny issue is the noise people make coming in.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic location and facilities - Fantastic stay only one comment would be that the walls are a bit thin and we could hear the appt next door moving about and coughing etc.....regardless the location, facilities and balcony were above expectation....we will come back again!
- Michael (10/5): - Wonderful hotel with fabulous staff, Chelsea is a pleasure to deal with. Close to everything you need
- Patricia (10/5): - To arrived late, and check in was seamless. Bed, towels, sheets were 5 star ⭐️ quality, as was the delicious breakfast! Can’t say enough on how comfortable and welcome Villa Rosa made me feel! Thank you!! Patti
- Passenger68315640269 (10/5): Our stay in Cape Town - Just a wonderfully located hotel in Sea Point, in direct approximity of several nice restaurants and the beach. With an Uber or Hop On - Hop Off bus reaching The Waterfront is a matter of minutes. A very personal, family owned bed & breakfast with an excellent breakfast with home made curd and marmalades. Just wonderful! For us, a family of four, a nice haven after the long tours through Cape Town and surroundings.
- darshas2018 (10/5): Felt Like A Home Away From Home - I’m so happy I decided to choose this bed and breakfast as my home base while exploring Cape Town. You must choose the breakfast with your stay! Delicious and cooked fresh for you when you arrive to the dining area each morning along with a buffet of lots of produce, oatmeals, breads, etc. Try their chocolate croissants! The decorations were thoughtful and complimented the history of the hotel. It was all so charming, comfy, and felt like a nice home away from home. On a final note, the staff were all so kind; from hotel management to the cook to the security guards and cleaning staff. Also, the location is great. I had no issues with Ubers finding me/dropping me off as well as tour guides that had to pick me up. The beach, restaurants, shopping, pharmacies, hospital, etc. is all within walking distance and very close to the hotel. I will, hands down, stay here again if I should be lucky enough to return to Cape Town
- Connector43285576116 (10/5): Villa Rosa a classy home away from home - An architectural beauty with true colonial olde world charm. So incredibly warm and homely. Loved the cozy breakfast area. The hospitality was excellent. The location very central. So close to the beach promenade and yet far enough away for a quiet stay. I stayed in my own detached room with its own lovely porch. I will definitely come back. Thankyou for such a pleasant stay.
- LISA (10/5): - Excellent!
- soldfi714815 (10/5): Delightful spot in Seapoint - We were tourists in our own mother city for a few days and loved every moment. Villa Rosa was an oasis. We loved the stoep for sundowners and enjoyed the decor and thouhhtful touches.
- mhered805214 (10/5): Everything great 😍 - The room I booked was great, just like the pics showed, very comfortable, the breakfast was amazing yummy, the decor very nice and makes you feels good and cozy. The attention very friendly, warm and nice in every moment. Totally recommend ♥️
- esigaban (8/5): Old Style Cape Town property (The Villa Rosa) - A great traditional and old style property which is well kept. V&A Waterfront is easily accessible by uber taxi (10 min) drive. The staff are great, and the local area is pleasant. Chelsea was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Thank you so much Chelsea & the Villa Rosa team
- PBR508 (10/5): Fabulous stay with exceptional service - Our stay at the Villa Rosa was fabulous. The rooms were large and very comfortable . The location in Sea Point was great with everything within walking distance. Breakfast was lovely and also varied. However what really made our stay was the fantastic service from Chelsea who was the perfect host. She went the extra mile and nothing was too much trouble. She was informative and very helpful advising on places to go and things to do as this was our first time in Cape Town. I would definitely stay at the Villa Rosa again if I returned to Cape Town and would unreservedly recommend it to anyone wanting a lovely stay in a good area with great service !
- David (10/5): - Great spot close to everything. Good view
- ronald (10/5): - Great Stay!!!
- Darcie (10/5): - We loved our stay in this heritage home. Comfortable King bed, clean quiet room and lovely ambiance. Highly recommend!! Great breakfast also!
- Gabriel (10/5): - Nice area; friendly, helpful staff; tasty breakfast!
- Gina (10/5): - Chelsea our hostess was friendly and helpful. Made us feel right at home. Will definitely book here again.
- Crystal (10/5): - Had a great stay! Staff were friendly. Delicious breakfast. My room was upstairs in the main house - it was small but perfect for my needs. Very clean. I liked having a kettle and fridge in the room. Sea point is a convenient location - easily walkable. Good value for the price - would stay here again!
- Madeleine (10/5): - My husband and I stayed for 7 nights on our honeymoon and had an absolutely fabulous time. The staff was so pleasant and friendly. Breakfast each morning is a delight. The area of Seapoint is a great place for getting around the Cape and has loads of restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend Villa Rosa.
- Alayne (10/5): - The owners are always on site, and hugely accommodating. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere!
- Brandon (10/5): - Everyone on property was very friendly and helpful - particularly Chelsea and David! We enjoyed walking to the restaurants and shopping just a few blocks away, and getting to the V&A waterfront was very easy via car. It served as a great home base as we explored all of the wonderful sights in the area. Just note that you’re staying in a converted farmhouse so it’s not “modern” but has lots of character and charm. WiFi was a bit slow, but again, not our main purpose on the trip. Loved the espresso machine and not having to worry about breakfast in the mornings! Overall, highly recommend for a stay so you can enjoy being at the seaside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but with easy access for anything you need.
- Clint Brian (10/5): Lovely 1 night stay. - Sadly only a night stay but loved it. It is a lovely location, a lovely property. Comfortable bed and very nice room. Great welcoming host & staff. Had a great breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent visit - Overall outstanding experience. Great accommodation, perfect location, excellent breakfast.
- Julie (8/5): - Staff were all excellent, in particular Chelsea was most informative and helpful. The dissadvantage to the room we stayed in was the lack of privacy between the bedroom and ensuite as there is no proper door between the rooms. Instead there is a pair of badly fitted wardrobes doors with a 3inch gap at the bottom. The shower was dated and needs upgrading.
- Shana (10/5): - Nice and central. Chelsea the host is very friendly. Breakfast was lovely. I recommend this lovely b&b.
- Colette (6/5): - Quintessentially old school Cape Town B&B, right in the Center of Sea Point. The hosts were friendly and made me feel welcome. I found being in the center too noisy for me but being within walking distance of shops & restaurants may outweigh that for others.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Wonderful BnB! 5 stars for everything. I had a beautiful, clean, and comfortable room. The view off the balcony is lovely and a relaxing place for a cup of tea in the morning. The location is great — a short walk to the waterfront walkway. The check-in is easy, the property area feels very safe, and the breakfast offering is superb. I also really appreciated the fresh milk in the room’s mini fridge for making my own tea. I will definitely return next time I’m in Cape Town.
- Alyssa (10/5): - We had a great time at Villa Rosa. There was a delicious breakfast every morning, great dining and activity recommendations, and friendly staff. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. Parking was easy and convenient. Thank you for making our honeymoon special!
- Deon (10/5): - I loved the communal breakfasts each morning. They were delicious with some items set out for self-service and eggs, potatoes and meat made to order. More than that, however, I had a later flight the day I left and they accommodated me by allowing me to pay a day rate to keep my stuff in my room and spend time resting before the long flight home.
- Joseph (10/5): - Clean rooms, very comfortable bef, good location
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely location - Spacious room in a large villa. The breakfast was tasty and wonderful. Shops and mains street and seafront is a short walking distance away
- Jeffrey (10/5): Really pleasant place in a beautiful part of town! - Really pleasant place a short walk from really fun stuff along the beach. Will stay again one day.
- Linas (10/5): - Beautifully updated victorian style mansion. Staff are outstanding and pleasant. Outstanding B&B and excellent value!
- eric (10/5): - The owners provided excellent service the location is ideal for walking no trip is without a surprise or two snd the owners were very accommodating to any issue
- Sheila (10/5): - This beautifully restored B&B offers relaxation and convenience in a lovely area. We were greeted warmly by our host, and all members of the staff were friendly and determined to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious each day - two hot offerings are available each day and organic oatmeal, granola and energy bars are also on offer. Our room was lovely and well-maintained - although it would have been nice to have a small table or desk to use. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend Villa Rosa to anyone.
- Haydon (10/5): - Lovely tastefully decorated building. But the wooden floor above does transfers the sound of residents walking about.
- Joanne (10/5): Give This A Go!!! - Such a wonderful welcome, room was nice, clean and super comfy!! An umbrella was on hand for the drizzle as well and the breakfast was superb!!! Would definitely stay there again!!!!
- HOWARD (10/5): - The property is in a good location really close to the beach,the room’s are very clean and spacious, the breakfast is always wonderful chefs style and the staff very nice and helpful stayed 5days
- HOWARD (10/5): - Extremely clean in a nice location close to the beach breakfast was excellent
- Paul (10/5): Small friendly G/H in an ideal Sea Point location - Stayed in a pleasant large room (Room 2) with confortable King bed. The ceiling fan, which was more than adequate for the heat. Room was cleaned spotlessly daily, with fresh towels. Large tiled bathroom with strong shower. Discrete bedroom wall safe for personal items. I was initially concerned about the traffic noise from High Level Road from my last stay in the 1990s, but the current owners have installed opening double glazing so sound was never an issue. Complimentary beach towels were available on request. Cleaning and serving staff were friendly and efficient. My only constructive feedback is over breakfast. Of couse I realise staying over a month anywhere would become repetitiive. Though the tasty hot element changed daily, it would have been nice to have a fresh fruit salad option too. (Apples are always available) I would recommend The Villa Rosa to anyone, and hope to return again before long. Thank you to Steven and Greg, along with chef David.
- l (10/5): Charming and elegant - Very nice rooms and good breakfast. The hotel is elegantly decorated and the diningroom is gorgeous. Only complaint was that we ran out of milk sachets as we had 2 cups of tea each the first day and there was only a security man on duty in the evening and he said he couldn't help us with more. Excellent access to beach, restaurants and shops and on the myciti bus route.
- Shayne (10/5): Perfect B&B in great location - We had an amazing stay al The Villa Rosa in Cape Town. The location in Sea Point is perfect and safe, five minutes walk from the promenade The room was large and spotless and was serviced daily Every morning we had a lovely breakfast which was just perfect There are three parkings reserved for the B&B but plenty free street parking around as well, so there is nothing to worry about Recommend this B&B for anybody looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Sea Point!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lush sanctuary. Lovely antiques with modern touches. Fresh and sunny. The manager is personable and pays attention to details. He wrote a helpful bedside travel guide, a self proclaimed foodie, we went after his dinner recommendation the Sea Grill and had the best meal of our lives for 300 Rand. Oysters, wine, saffron prawn risotto, ratatouille. The sheets and bedding were clean and comfy. The room was very spacious. Parking very easy. Check in was quick. Breakfast was very impressive. Friendly other guests. I looked forward to heading back to the hotel every day :)
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I was put in a stinky room outside the property i feel i was discriminated against, with a bathroom like inside a closet
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent! My flight to Cape Town was delayed multiple times so I arrived later than expected to the Villa Rosa. I'd been in touch with them about the delays, and knowing that it had been a stressful day for me, they left a small carafe of wine in my room. What a thoughtful touch and perfect way to unwind after a long day. The owners are friendly and helpful and the room was very nice. The breakfast was fantastic. I'll definitely be back!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The Breakfast is outstanding and the guys and all of the workers that makes this place TICK are a team willing to see that all of your needs are met.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We had a great stay at Villa Rosa. The staff is incredibly good and the breakfast is really exceptional. The only thing is that our room had poor air circulation and during hot January, it was hard to sleep. But overall, would certainly. Recommend to stay here in any month but January.
- Robert (10/5): Great stay. - Awesome guest house. Comfortable and clean.
- Johanita (4/5): Spacious modern room, old building, ordinary - The rooms were beautiful but hot, and if you put the fan on the people in the room above ours, has knocked on the door 2am because they could not sleep! So the choice was hot sauna or wake up the guests above our room. Its an old qaint place and the staff do what they can to attend to your needs within ours, after hours you are on your own with the security guard. The breakfast is ordinary, no culnary adventure, probably fine for most, but I expected scrambled egg not to be dry and over-cooked and then presented in a fancy stack. I loved the room, No2, hated the breakfast, we had one out of the three and could not stand the fan situation, nor the fact that we could hear every step above us. Whether this is only associated with Room No2 I cannot tell.
- S L (8/5): - It was a great stay - Chelsea was super helpful and friendly.
- Mark (10/5): - The location is perfect- and the staff is incredible! Villa Rosa is a quaint and stunning B&B a couple blocks off Kloof rd in Sea point. I felt like I was steps always from everything. Chelsea, Steven, and Greg- you couldn’t ask for a better team. Steven’s breakfasts are simple amazing. His crossiants are to die for! Airline lost your luggage? Chelsea handles that while you enjoy your day. Each morning at breakfast the team reviews your plans and offers perfect local suggestions which ensure you get the most out of each excursion- ie best wineries to visit, best routes to drive for scenery, and in the direction of great restaurants. This was my third stay and I’ll be back again and again! Thanks for another great week!
- Lamar (6/5): - They charged me for inviting a guess. Which I did not like or approve of. And they charged me way to much to extend my day at the hotel for a few hrs. When I had to wait for my flight.
