    Nothing.

    The place is very cozy. The room isn't very large, but quite comfortable (we stayed in the room upstairs with a balcony). Spectacular homemade breakfast. Central location, close to the city's main tourist attractions (waterfront, Table Mountain, and Camps Bay - approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car). The main highlight was the hosts, who were very attentive, gave great sightseeing tips, and made us feel at home.

    Lots of steps and stairs, but there was unasked-for help with the luggage!

    It was a pleasure to meet our host at breakfast. There was a neat dialog with each of the guests, often in different languages. Oh, and the breakfast was amazing with the fresh breads and homemade banana jam. The innkeeper allowed us to drop luggage early and come back late to meet the taxi for the airport

    The area is beautiful, you can hear the call to prayer from the B&B, there are a number of coffee shops/restaurants/bars within walking distance. Would stay here again.

    Price of excursions and taxis organized by the hostel are not the same that we are asked to pay by the drivers, hostel should be sure clients pay what was agreed during the reservation.

    A wonderful haven in the city centre, with great hospitality at a very reasonable price.

    It's hard to think of anything that could have been better, within the class of accommodation. Neither a complaint nor a serious omission, but perhaps some bacon or mushrooms to go with the eggs at breakfast?

    The location is wonderful. I particularly liked the sound of the muezzins, calling people to prayer. The three of them combined to make a very mystical and spiritual sound. Yoann and the staff were exemplary in terms of friendliness and helpfulness. Breakfast was always a joy, with good conversation with Yoann and Albert.

    Friendliest staff on the planet

    The neighborhood appears to be in transition. Unfortunately, about a block away the streets are filled with garbage from the large number of homeless people living on the streets.

    The staff is so kind, friendly and helpful! They went out of their way to provide whatever we needed, and they did it with a smile on their faces. PeeWee is a gem. My partner doesn't do stairs well, and I didn't realize that La Rose had three stories and a lot of stairs. I booked us in the nicest room, only to find out that it was on the third floor. They had another room available on the second floor, so we took that one. I wish I would have looked at the rooms before agreeing to the the second-floor room, because I would have kept the third-floor room as it was much bigger. My partner would have been slow, but he could have made it. I would have been more worried about the staff carrying up our two 45-pound luggage. FYI: They did carry our bags up to the second floor with ease ... such kind helpful people! The B&B itself is beautifully unique and NOT an American chain hotel, which is exactly what we prefer! The bed was comfortable, there was AC and a ceiling fan in our room and a private bathroom. The shower/tub and the floor of the bathroom was very slippery when wet. A rubber mat and a rubber backed rug would be a nice addition. There are no outlets in the bathroom, and no mirror in the bedroom. That makes it hard to do my hair, so I decided not to wash my hair because I can't blow dry it without a mirror. Adding a wall mounted mirror near an outlet would be a nice addition. The rooftop deck has a great view of Table Mountain. Be sure to go up and enjoy it! The breakfast is homemade and wonderful. Fresh baked muffins and bread. Homemade yogurt, fresh cut fruit, freshly made juice, coffee and even eggs to order. One day we left before breakfast, but they were kind enough to give us some coffee and muffins before they even opened ... it was delicious! All in all, we had a very good stay and would stay here again.

    Nothing. It’s exactly as advertised and safe and secure as

    Great B&B lovely clean rooms and fab breakfasts where you can chat with other guests and your hosts and learn more about Cape Town. Nothing is too much of a problem and was really glad we visited here having had to cancel previously due to Covid years! They say good things come to those who wait. This is certainly a good thing on anyone’s Cape Town list of where to stay! Thank you all it was a pleasure to be with you!

    If you are someone who is used to a king size bed and much space in the bedroom, you might wish to ask for a bigger room. We stayed in the Sun room and it was at times a bit too small for the 2 of us.

    Both the host and the employees of the place were very welcoming and friendly. We had an awesome time chatting with the host (who sits with the guests every single day) and other guests (of various nationalities) at breakfast daily. Also, the place is walking distance to Long Street (approx 10 mins) and only 2 mins from Marco's African Place (a must if you are coming to Cape Town). Places we wanted to visit were quickly reachable by Uber from La Rose B&B. Our room was cleaned every day and towels were changed as and when required. We loved our stay at La Rose B&B and thank Yoann for his advices and for welcoming us.

    Nothing. All was perfect.

    I can only recommend La Rose B&B when you are in Cape Town and would like to stay in Bo-Kaap district. This property has everything what you may need, is very clean, rooms are beautiful and staff is very friendly. Also the view from the terrace is spectacular and the breakfest is delecious and plenty. There is an African Restaurant just a few steps from the B&B when you can have an amazing dinner with some live African music.

    Beautiful Bohemian property, hosted by an amazing host Yoann….. in the Bo Kapp area, it has everything you need, it is quirky and funky, and hence attracts very interesting travellers. We met lots of interesting people over an exceptional bereakfast. Joann has it just right with his hosting skills, he is an absolute mine of information…. Just outstanding.

    The breakfast with the host and the guests was always very interesting and a good start to the day to get support with planned city or country explorations. All requests such as laundry or booking individual trips for excursions were happily taken care of by the host. His commitment and humor was very refreshing.
