Guest Reviews

• Paolo (9/5): - Struttura accogliente e personale gentilissimo Bagno piccolissimo e diviso dalla stanza solo con una porta scorrevole che lasciava molto spazio (non chiudeva) con conseguenti odori nella stanza e poca privacy
• Shane (10/5): -
• Juan Jose Avila Salazar (10/5): - Beautiful old building on the main street.
• Robert (9/5): Historic Hotel in Simon's Town - A hotel with a lot of history and character somewhat quirky but good value Initial access to the hotel to obtain room key not straight forward as at times no one present!
• Maria (6/5): A Traditional Dutch Building with rooms surrounnding an autside garden. Very good location - The bonus part about this hotel is location - it is a renovated old building - confortable enough and clean. I am not a fan of traditional old Dutch furniture - but others may chooses it specifically for this
• Matthias (9/5): -

• Gitte (8/5): -
• Elena (8/5): - Nice and friendly staff, very good location, very nice breakfast
• Alicia (10/5): -
• Sharon (1/5): Very disappointed - We booked a Seaview room abs paid for it only to be forved to take a back room on arrival. No refund for difference. Room we were given had extremely dangerous bathroom Changed our room without notifying us. Overcharged as we should have been in Seaview room. Paid for Seaview room

• Chantelle (9/5): Lovely historical building, great location, views, and breakfast. - Lovely historical building and room, high ceilings, bed comfy, breakfast delicious, views stunning, staff friendly, and everything was clean. Nice to sit on balcony and watch the activities below, even saw a warship sailing, divers and fishermen. Main road can get noisy.
• Megan (10/5): A beautiful, clean, and welcoming place with incredible staff — we will definitely be back again. - Everything! The place was spotless — from the clean linens to the bathroom and every area in between. It was beautifully maintained and even more stunning in person; the photos truly don’t do it justice. The staff were absolutely incredible: so friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was very good and thoroughly enjoyed. Nothing at all — there was absolutely nothing to fault.
• Mandy (10/5): -
• SaskiaBest (9/5): Goede locatie. - Wij hadden kamer 10 hier zat een nieuwe badkamer in. Midden in het centrum. Parkeren kan voor de deur. Kamers zijn wel oud maar heel schoon. Er zitten hele lichte gordijnen voor de kamer, het is niet donker in de kamers
• Cornelius (10/5): -
• Karl-Heinz (10/5): -
• Ludovic (8/5): -
• Fiona (6/5): Historic building, centrally located, - Beautiful historic building, but felt very tired, run down and unloved inside. Location is perfect. Clean and comfortable. No parking, so you have to park on thr street and if its during thr day you need to move your car every hour or so. Thin walls with noisy plumbing. On arrival, we had to ring on the front door a couple of times before someone came to let us in. Unmanned reception, so I had to try to find a remember of staff to work out how to check out and where to leave the keys. Perhaps instruction in check-out should be added to the information sheet in the bedrooms would be helpful.
• Lyn (8/5): -
• Danielle (1/5): - No designated parking, rooms are dingy and smell musky! Requested a refund for following night upon checking in as it was certainly not up to scratch and the owner is unreachable and unresponsive to emails. Definitely won’t recommend for PYT studying week!
• Heinrich (10/5): - Mein Zimmer war sehr ruhig , weil im hinteren Bereich gelegen. Sehr schönes Bad
• Neubert (10/5): I was very satisfied and will stay again soon - everything good! I 'm not so keen on filter coffee so I had juice, which was fine.
• Pieter (9/5): Historic charm - Historic charm, with comfortable value Difficulty checking in at reception on arrival
• Sean (9/5): -
• Eugene (9/5): -
• Marie (7/5): -
• Eugene (10/5): - Ideally located, friendly staff, clean and walking distance to restaurants, shops. Safe.
• Beverley (3/5): - the receptionist was friendly When we arrived to check in, we were told that our front ocean facing room that we had booked and paid for was no longer available as the person who was in the room had not checked out and for health reasons was staying longer. We were showed to a back room and told we would get a discount. I gave the receptionist my credit card and she supposedly refunded me R300 which has never reflected on my credit card statement.
• Serge (8/5): -
• FlaminiaCozzolino (10/5): - Senza riscaldamento, in inverno un po' freddo. Casa particolare, sembrava una casa coloniale. Staff gentilissimo e colazione ottima. Perfetta per boulder beach
• B (8/5): Very good -
• Emmerencia (4/5): Our stay was cut short due to no electricity, we had to book another hotel - Location We had no internet
• B (8/5): Very good -
• William (9/5): Central location at very affordable price - Old fashioned veranda overlooking Main Street.
• Markhab (9/5): Super hotel in truly central location of Simonstown - Breakfast was excellent, cooked fresh to order. Location was also excellent, walkable to many bars restaurants shops and tourist attractions. Great fridge in room for cold drinks plus tea/coffee making facilities. Nice ensuite bathroom and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. All good
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - The bed was excellent, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was central to everything in Simon Town and the natural attractions in the area. Daily rate a little high !
• Kelvin (9/5): Loved every second. Best value for money -
• Malan (7/5): Good -
• Gear (7/5): Lovely building, run in a half-arsed way. - It's a wonderful old building and the stay was very quiet and comfortable. The breakfasts are served at such an inopportune time (after 9am on a weekend) as to be functionally unavailable to anyone with any sort of plans for the day whatsoever. Furthermore, no pre-packed breakfasts were available. The DSTV in our room didn't really work, so that was a pity. Wifi does not have battery back-up so that goes down during loadshedding. Parking is on the street. As a result, our rental car incurred baboon damage likely to add R5000 to our trip. Staff vanished for large parts of the day.
• Andre (5/5): Passable -
• Paula (9/5): Exactly what we needed for our short stay. - In the centre of Simonstown which facilitated getting around. All restaurants within a short walking distance.
• Craig (7/5): Good -
• Craig (6/5): Pleasant -
• Gustav (10/5): - Excellent
• Marcel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jiang (8/5): Very good - The employee was friendly and helped us to go to the beach. The breakfast was also pretty good.
• Allison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Neil (10/5): Exceptional - The staff are excellent and very helpful and super friendly. The price is great value for the location. The front facing rooms have great views. The bed was very comfortable and one of the best I have experienced in a while. Just remember your stay in a piece of history. Nothing
• Dave (8/5): Friendly , comfortable and good location . - Old fashioned , historic , and nice friendly staff . Nice breakfast Baboons on veranda for a few minutes.
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charmaine (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Clean. Big room. Good value for money. Nice breakfast
• Yolande (8/5): Very good - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. We really liked sitting on the balcony enjoying the view. The breakfast was perfect.
• Craig (6/5): Nice bug needed a fan - Good location, lovely staff. Cute rooms, amazing furniture No fan of aircon. Very hot. So windows open and therefore very noisy from the traffic.
• G (9/5): Superb -
• Janet (7/5): Good -
• Boshoffs (4/5): While the staff and amenities were excellent, the constant noise from the street! - We had a wonderful stay at Central Hotel Guest House! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious and well-prepared While our stay at Central Hotel Guest House had some positives, such as friendly staff and a comfortable room, the experience was overshadowed by disturbances. Loud shouting and screaming from the street late at night, constant traffic noise, and inconsiderate guests made it difficult to relax. Some guests had their TVs blaring and loud phone conversations well into the night, showing little regard for others. Unfortunately, this impacted the overall quality of the stay.
• Mahle (8/5): Very good -
• Desmond (10/5): Exceptional - Very efficient staff member. Nothing.
• Johan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Scheepers (8/5): Very good - The view was great! The noise outside at about 2am in the morning.
• Rouvierre (7/5): Good - Friendly staff. Nice view. Nice room. Parking space was an issue.
• Christo (7/5): Good - The Wifi was off for a long time Television did not work, had to use own Netflix account to watch
• Suzanne (8/5): Very good - Great view, great veranda, lovely breakfast, convinent street parking Town wakes up at 7am. People greeting on street like they are outside the window.
• Nichola (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jennifer (9/5): A nice, comfortable stay! - Very courteous staff, great location and loved the balcony room!
• Mitsuru (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wendy (8/5): Very good -
• Nakedi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leszek (6/5): Once it mush have been a great hotel - Friendly staff and good location The room bit outdated and not secure- the outside door as well as the door to the room did not hold properly and especially at night during load shedding we were scared that somebody might enter while we were sleeping. A bit creepy. No electric backups. No breakfast info at all. Very noisy.
• Ridwan (8/5): Poor management - This was an upgrade to another property owned by the same person. Definitely better than Central Hotel and Guest House The fact that we had to demand the rooms we booked. They kept insinuating that Booking.com got it wrong. The upgraded facility's was better than the original property booked.
• Warren (9/5): loved it - lovely location
• Ridwan (6/5): POOR HOSPITALITY SKILLS. - The location is awesome Sadly the booking was not fulfilled. They put me in a cheaper, poorly decorated room and blamed the error on Booking.com. Only the next day after showing proof did they transfer me. But we had already seen reviews on Booking.com of other guests having to insist on getting the correct room. The rooms need an upgrade urgently.
• Michael (10/5): made very welcome and staff excellent - traditional and near all amenities nothing
• Réan (9/5): Superb -
• Carole (8/5): - Like staying at grandma's, warm and welcoming but a little dated.. although charming....central hotel it is so dont choose if effected by road noise
• Kelly (7/5): Hotel well placed and very well attended by an excellent staff, however big drawback as nothing functions during loadshe - Very clean room. Staff were charming and very friendly. Unfortunately we arrived during a loadshedding and couldn’t access entry into the hotel. There is no internet during loadshedding which for international travellers is unacceptable! And couldn’t boil kettle to make first cup of coffee ( nicely provided ) Only one TV channel which of course didn’t work either! Very frustrating!
• Galbraith (9/5): Superb -
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were amazing and the Central Hotel Guest House clean. The breakfast can be a bit more elaborate with breads / rolls and perhaps fresh fruits. It is quiet, tranquil and definitely worth staying there. It is somewhat opposite a mall, close to attractions and the beach is a short walking distance. Even with loadshedding, I was able to make a well-deserved cup of coffee from the coffee station in the room.
• Martin (7/5): very good - Great location next to some lovely restaurants and shops nothing
• Marya (6/5): Pleasant -
• Telanies (7/5): Good -
• Carle (8/5): Very good -
• Jennie (9/5): Good Group Stay - This place is perfectly located in Simon’s Town, waking distance to many restaurants and a short walk from Boulders Beach. The balcony and courtyard are perfect for enjoying the weather and people watching. The breakfast is simple but nice. And the people are very sweet!! It’s right on the main street and the walls are thin. so if you’re looking for absolute peace and quiet, you might like something further up in the mountains of Simon’s Town.
• Yulia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - everything tv not friendly
• Bradley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We were welcomed in style with a bottle of wine. I really appreciated that and to see my name written on the welcome note made me feel special
