    Carmichael House is a grand old property, full of character. Yves and Valerie were great hosts and looked after us so well. We stayed in the family room which was ideal for the 5 of us. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms and bathrooms had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and off street parking was a real bonus. Hope to return again soon!

    Beautiful, recently renovated house with a stunning garden in Rosebank. Very professionally run but also with a personal touch. The owners and staff were always friendly and welcoming. The generous breakfasts; fresh crisp linen and large spacious rooms were just some of the highlights. Highly recommend.

    Dear Valerie, dear Yves thank you so much for everything. We really enjoyed the time at your lovely Hotel, to be honest it felt like home. The interieur is super cute but also timeless. Everything we needed with our 1,5 y toddler was in our loft. If anything was needed additionally you were helped out at the reception. You could choose to eat your breakfast in the wintergarden, on the balcony or in the garden. While your ordered breakfast is being prepared in the back, you can enjoy croissants with homemade jam. The pool was neat and there were always towels at the sunbeds. Our room was cleaned everyday and also vaccumed. We had a rental car so we could drive everywhere by ourselves. Last but not least sightseeing and interesting spots were 15-20 min by car. We would always recommend this lovely oasis. If we ever come back to Capetown one day we will stay here again. All the best for your whole family.

    No complaints!

    Beautiful and peaceful haven in Cape Town, very well located to explore the town and surroundings by car. The room, the pool and the garden are immaculately kept and offer a relaxing retreat for moments and days you want to take it easy. Breakfast was also wonderful, and staff are extremely friendly and competent. Not forgetting the beds, which are delightfully comfortable!

    Excellent choice as a center of activities.

    I liked the location, being equidistant from sites we wanted to visit and in a semi-residential area. However, the B&B is near Cape Town University creating a rather transient atmosphere.

    Breakfast was excellent. It was served outside because the weather was so nice. We would also have a lunch or light dinner at this location. The room was of good size and all accoutrements functioned well, although the bathroom sink didn't drain properly until we pointed it out. Communication with the owners was excellent; they provided good advice. Uber transportation was close at hand and economical.

    Needed an Uber to get to cafes and shops. Uber was easy and inexpensive so not a big issue, just required a little planning.

    We loved the beautifully decorated house, the garden and the kind staff.

    It is everything you want a boutique hotel to be: cosy, stylish, intimate, delicious. The facilities are great but like everywhere else in the world people make the experience truly unique. Yves and Valerie are incredible, excellent, truly outstanding hosts. They made us very welcome, helped with every issue we had and we happened to have a few during our stay with them. With their knowledge of the area they give great guidance on where to go and what to do But most importantly they truly care about their guests and they really go out of their way to be accommodating. When we come back to Cape Town we know there is no need to look any further, we will be back to Carmichael house.

    A review becomes more trustworthy when there is at least a little point for improvement :) We thought that adding some fruits for breakfast will make it as perfect as the quality of bed and beauty of the room and house!

    Carmichael is a very stylish hotel with a very warm atmosphere. We loved everything about this place! Location, the elegant house, nice garden, large and beautifully decorated room, large bathroom with all the amenities one needs, perfect cleanliness. Bed was very comfortable and linen of the highest quality. Bathrobes were so soft! :) Breakfast was very fresh and tasty too. Yves and Valerie, and all staff members, were very friendly and caring, and always ready to help. We travel a lot, and by no doubt Carmichael is one of the best boutique hotels we ever stayed at. We do not hesitate to recommend this place to the most demanding travelers. And we will definitely come back!
