    This is my second time staying at Ocean View House. The views are incredible, perfect spot to watch the sunset from. The staff were very friendly and they were nice enough to ensure an early check in. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, breakfast was delicious. I will be staying here agin the next time I'm in Cape Town.

    In the rooms - which are actually very nice and modern - the beds are unfortunately too short. I‘m around 1.90m and my feet have been hanging out all the time. A standard size of at least 2m should fit in easily in those rooms. And also the breakfast coffee was not really good.

    Very nice property in Camps Bay. In a very quiet and beautiful location. The staff was very nice and the breakfast is good. Also with the honesty bar it‘s possible to get drinks all the time.

    A very nice hotel in a quiet part of Camps Bay with lovely views . The hotel staff were really helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great (the staff at breakfast deserve their own special mention - great work!). I would recommend this as a great place to stay in Camps Bay. It is about a 20-25 min walk to the shops and restaurants but it is a nice walk along the sea front. At night, Ubers are readily available and the trip in is not expensive at all. Ubers in to V&A are also very reasonably priced and the journey is only about 15 mins.

    The view was stunning. The rooms are amazing and the location is fabulous. It was a totally awesome experience. It is not cheap, but it was worth it. I would love to come back. The breakfast was very good and we could even sit outside while breakfast was served outside. So good service.

    Well like all of SA there are some security concerns once outside the hotel complex plus the electricity load shedding (the hotel isn't able to have a generator due to its residential location) was somewhat inconvenient. These both didn't detract too severely from our enjoyment of the hotel. Taxis (Ubers) are very safe, quick and cheap to get us around quickly.

    The staff are so lovely and friendly/ the view from our Garden Suite was breath taking. It was only a 15 minute walk to Camps Bay main beach but only a few steps to a couple of local bays. Breakfast was lovely, room was great and we both had a fantastic massage.
