Guest Reviews

• Robert (8/5): Relaxen midden in Kaapstad. - De locatie en zwembad. Beetje verouderd en aan onderhoud toe.
• dante (8/5): Boa localização e valor pelo dinheiro - Tamanho do quarto, colchão bom, chuveiro com ótima ducha. Quarto com varanda sempre um plus. Relativamente próximo do V&A Não tem elevador: com bagagem fica complicado. TV não funcionava direito. Estacionamento limitado, mas não tivemos problemas em estacionar na rua
• Minna (8/5): -
• Steven (6/5): - Simple but good breakfast Facilities were very basic. Wifi was not good
• Achim (10/5): Tolle zweckmäßige Unterkunft in guter Lage! - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr gut und praktisch. Man kann die Waterfront in 15 min gut zu Fuß erreichen. Uber sind innerhalb von 2 Minuten da. Die Unterkunft ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet und man bekommt ein einfaches aber leckeres Frühstück. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und wir würden sofort wiederkommen.
• Jeniffer (10/5): - There was no parking due to the rugby, yet Miriam made a plan into the yard. THANK YOU. Our television did not work, but not a biggie.
• Lukas (9/5): Lovely view, lovely crew - In general we felt really welcomed by the very nice Staff and assisted during our First steps in this City. The view from our room on the First floor was beautiful. The location of the guest house near a super Market and nice restaurants was a big plus. We felt safe returnig to the Guest house from there after sunset. There was not a lot a Variation fot the breakfast buffet. But it was totally sufficient.
• Shane (9/5): Superb -
• Tracy (8/5): Very good - The pool was great however we found empty tin cans and bottles at the bottom of the deep end. Breakfast was good. On checkjng out the Reception only opens at 9am, we waited until 9.25am and still no receptionist had arrived. Eventually, the kitchen staff offered to assist with the honesty bar bill. It took them 20min to calculate what we had consumed, which was a total waste of time. We left at 9.50am and the receptionist still had not arrived. The slope in the shower does not work.well, it causes the water to stay in the shower. Had a very strong urine smell emanating from the bathroom area.
• Adri (6/5): Good location - The room was nice and spacious and the bathroom was gorgeous. Loved the swimming pool since it was a hot day. Location is great, walking distance from restaurants and the Green Point Stadium. Nice to have off-street parking (although not behind a gate). Our room was not ready at 2pm when we indicated we wanted to check-in, but as we had to leave again by 3pm we took the room without the floors being cleaned since we couldn't wait. Also heard other people asking at around 2.30pm why their room wasn't ready yet. Blinds in the room could not properly close. No chairs/tables for seating in the room.
• Farrington (10/5): Fun - Great location Friendly staff Nothing
• Sean (7/5): Good location, nice pool area. - Good location . Quiet road. Dreadful WiFi. Couldn’t get on it for the whole duration of the stay. Such a shame as we couldn’t wish friends and family happy new year. V disappointing as everywhere else has such good WiFi. Noisy inside the room Fruit selection for breakfast was an apple, banana and an orange. Not great . from the staff talking loudly all of the time, until they finished for the night. Woke us up again early the next day. Reception lady was very nice.
• Mark (7/5): Good -
• Gangolf (8/5): Very good - Look ahead
• Iae (8/5): Very good - It's a 15min walk from the waterfront. There are numerous restaurants just down the street. There is a pool for the hot summer days. Parking is available, but it is first come first serve. I did however have a free spot for the entire stay.
• Carolyn (9/5): A great place to stay - Very good value for money. Great location and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. More choice of cereals/muesli for breakfast would have been good. Breakfast left in the room when we had an early start one morning attracted a lot of ants and would have needed to be thrown away anyway as we don't eat meat but the sandwiches had ham in (- yes of course, we would have said we don't eat meat but weren't expecting sandwiches for breakfast!). These are small points- overall it is a really great place to stay.
• Emidio (7/5): Very nice - Location it’s good and rooms are very clean Breakfast need to be improved
• Cara (10/5): It was an amazing stay! - The included breakfast was really nice with more than enough variety. It was an extremely peaceful and relaxing stay. We don’t have any negative feedback at all!
• Gaetan (9/5): Superb - Great Location, lovely pool
• Tim (8/5): Sweet little guesthouse safely located - Wonderful room, sweet house and garden. Sweet little pool. Very spacious room. Safe location and area. Great support with the laundry The GM and Meriam were very friendly and helpful. Also the rest of the staff The beds need new mattresses. It would be great if the cleaning lady took a bit more care hair (long blond, which none of us is). There was quite some in the bathroom unfortunately. The pool didn’t seem clean so I didn’t go in

• Graham (9/5): When we return to Cape Town, there's no reason why I wouldn't book Port View. - The breakfast was always good and the people serving were very friendly.
• Johlene (7/5): It is a wonderful place with lots of opportunity to make this a 5-star establishment. - It is a good location for walking around. You can hear everything from the rooms above you if you sleep downstairs. The swimming pool could have been cleaner and if you do provide a braai facility, please make sure that there is efficient light.
• Mervina (6/5): Pleasant -
• Eefje (7/5): staff was very friendly but managers we could not reach. 100% clean place!! - it was very very clean! we loved this!!! we could not reach the managers. tried several times by phone. we had problems with internet. There was a big gap under our door to the hallway.
