    Excellent place to stay in Cape Town. Restaurants, shopping of daily needs and City Centre within easy walking distance. Utah, Martin and Ivan went beyond and above their way to make us feel at home. Great English breakfast with delicously fresh fruits. The house is a genuine Victorian Villa, the rooms are decorated with style. The beds are very comfy. Our hosts supported us with great sight seeing tips, recommendations of restaurants and the booking of tickets and organized very reliable and friendly transfer from an to the airport. We would love to come back any time.

    The accommodation was great, the only issue was there is sky light in the roof, and a mosque close by, so we were woken up with the sky light and call to prayer.

    Nice structure with a classic interior in a strategic position, just 10 minutes walking to Bo Kaap. The room and the bathroom were big and clean and all people of the staff are very kind. Good breakfast.

    Not much parking on the premises but fortunately there was street parking.

    The host was friendly and kind and very helpful. The location was brilliant - very near to restaurants and shops and the Gardens. The exterior of the premises is deceptive as once you go into the front door, one was greeted by the most beautiful old world charm in the decor and hosts.

    Lovely reception and dining area. Light and airy rooms leading to outside shaded seating for breakfast. Bedrooms clean and comfortable. Quiet haven in a busy area. Great restaurants and choice of bars on your doorstep to walk to each night. Warm, friendly staff and owner who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and looked after.

    Tintagel is most definitely a guesthouse worth booking! The staff is amazing, the helped us with all different sorts of requests (setting up e-sim, hiking routes and restaurant options). They are centrally located in the proximity of wide range of restaurants and shops, all in walking distance! Table Mountain and Lion's Head are easy to reach by taxi. They offer breakfast with fresh products, which is served on the terrace if the weather allows! Despite our late arrival (23.30) we received a warm welcome with tee and a quick tour of the property and some other basics! Overall we would definitely come back when visiting CT!

    The window blinds were a bit dusty but really a minor thing.

    The staff were magnificent couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. Guest house provided lovely little touches like complimentary traditional South African wine in the room. Location was great. Beds very comfortable and the entire place had a wonderful vibe about it. Can't recommended enough we loved it there

    Good location. Could walk easily to restaurants on Kloof street and we walked to V&A waterfront though quite a long walk. Staff very welcoming and lovely breakfast and very accommodating with late check out as we had a night flight . House is full of character as befits it’s age but was very comfortable. Staff also very helpful with advice re restaurants and visiting sights and how to get there.
