Would expect more for the price/compared to other places we have stayed in South Africa
Great location in camps bay
Lovely view of the bay/ocean
Manager was very happy to help with any request
East parking
Good bar selection and complimentary snacks
Held onto our bags pre check in
We stayed in the garden suite and the bathroom smelt damp for our whole stay and a leaky shower
Whilst there was a wide variety of breakfast options the service wasn’t great/thing’s forgotten and didn’t feel as smooth as I would expect
Small bed compared to other places we have stayed, would expect a 6ft+ bed for the price

Perfect- can’t wait to be back!
EVERYTHING!! There is nothing you cannot love.
I stayed at the property for one night- a reward to self after after a long work trip to Stellenbosch. From the moment I arrived everything was like coming home: the place feels luxurious yet homely. The staff take time to learn the residents names and it is like being with your home community. My room was the pink room- perfect for a solo female traveler- and with the most complimentary chocolate I ever got!
The best part for me was a moment of fate- the owner was around for the weekend and I got complimentary champagne as we watched the sun set. I don’t know how people describe luxury but for me it’s the warmth in the people and the attention to detail. Living Hotel Lion’s Eye is all that and more.
Zero.

Disgrace to that beautiful spot it could be
Nice to see the friendly staff members we still knew from last time.
We checked out after one night and lost a lot of money for the sake of just being out. Since our last time there in 03/2022 it has become so run down, the beds are horribly worn down (sinkholes!) that I slept in the window sill, the whole interior is having all traits of lovelessness and mismanagement. e.g. cosmetic amenities like lip balm in a container full of fingertip-prints of former use.. The iron so dirty it ruined my skirt in ironing it with it.. a pigeon flew into the balcony window and fought for life there for one whole day (missing bird stickers on the windows) - we will never ever come back again. See photos.

1 stay simply isnt enough.....see you again!
Breakfast, location were exceptional. But the greatest draw and the reason I will ABSOLUTELY come back us the Uber accommodating and incredibly professional staff! Hands down the best commodity the property has to offer.
Leaving.....but alas the safari calls!

I booked the Atlantic Suite, which boasts a breathtaking view of the mountains and ocean, just as described. What truly stands out about this hotel is its warm and welcoming atmosphere; you can really feel the family vibes. Each night, my room was thoughtfully prepared, complete with a delightful chocolate shaped like the map of Africa. The food and breakfast were exceptional, and Chef NoNo was truly dedicated to providing the best culinary experience. I highly recommend this place!

Pleasant stay
Location, views, spaciousness
Breakfast was quite a process, first taking our beverages order, after the drinks arrived then taking our continental breakfast order, and when that arrived, taking our hot breakfast order. Took too long, approx. 35-40 mins for breakfast. Only max 4 other guests at the property, mostly only 3 others, so staff were not rushed off their feet!
Laundry issue with shrinkage due probably to overdrying was promptly attended to and most of our clothes were wearable after a second wash and line drying. We were credited for the value of a couple of garments that could no longer be worn due to shrinkage. Thank you Calvin!
I slipped and fell one morning in the shower which has a stone tile floor with no grip and water pools on the surface. This is dangerous as the shower is large with the towel rail too far to grip if you slip.

Overall, this Boutique Hotel is in a fantastic location, has great amenities, tasty food in a very beautiful and well de
The property itself is fantastic, with great views, modern furnishings and indoor/garage parking. It's well-maintained and quiet lending an air of luxury to the garden suite which we stayed in. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely spacious and dinner & breakfast was very good. This is what we would expect is on offer at a high end establishment at the heart of Camps Bay. Brilliant in this regard.
We were however, disappointed with the service we received, which wasn't in line with other 5-star experiences, both internationally and locally. My wife and I are very well travelled and have a good idea of what we would expect of a 5-star experience , and in a city like our home here in Cape Town, we should be bench marking this establishment against the best of the best amongst boutique hotels.
We found staff rather unwelcoming and unfortunately not professional. We kindly requested a late check-out (if possible - even if it’s for a hour later) and we were told '10 is 10' (the request was not taken by staff to the manager either). We were also told at check-in that there'd be a turn-down service in the evening which didn't happen, as after we had gotten back to our room, I had gone back upstairs and we had to ask for this to be done. The response to this was that the other lady on duty should have done it, indicating poor communication. This was done after the request was made after I had gone up to ask for it, which should not be the case at a 5 star establishment.
We were also not asked how the stay was when checking out (by the staff or the Assistant Manager that was apparently on duty - did not see him during the morning), which we do expect of a 5-star establishment having stayed elsewhere in Cape Town, and having travelled to just over 25 other countries

Beautiful views, modern room.
The Atlantic suite was amazing, the views over the bay and sleeping with the doors open to the sound of the crashing waves. A wonderful room. Hot tub was a bonus.
Needs more electric sockets. Daigonal configuration made adaptors tricky.

A cute little gem!!
A great little gem in Camps bay, all staff were super friendly especially Lwando she went above and beyond. There was another lady who worked evenings who also went above and beyond. Rooms were spacious and had all amenities provided. All were happy to answer any questions and gave us good advice. The views were just spectacular! 5/5
Unfortunately there was a crane but not their fault!

Below expectations and overrated
Location
Closed curtains still daylight! Under ceiling windows can’t be covered. No normal light switches. Need study complicated panel first. Not found switch to turn off toilet light ..)
Shower rain head went all over. No way to keep hair dry. Alternative hand shower leaked. Mentioned to assistant manager after first night. Second morning we noticed nothing was changed... We went out and on return assistant manager told the shower head and the hand shower were replaced so finally on our last morning we could enjoy a normal shower.
The room gets hot with high windows that can’t be covered. Airco, but throw blanket too heavy and too hot for this climate (we stayed in March so it must be even worse in the summer). There is a mini waste basket. Not enough for normal use. There is a small magnifying mirror that hardly magnifies and the light does not work.
There is a small breakfast buffet which is OK if….it were not sitting in the sun. Buffet opens early morning and if you arrive later, you will milk, yoghurt, fruits and other food which has been sitting there in the hot sun for who knows how long…
You can also order hot breakfast. On the second morning my wife ordered eggs sunny side up with tomato and bacon. The reply was “You can only order menu items, otherwise the chef gets confused “. On the menu there many egg dishes, but no plain fried eggs. I arrived later and asked explanation. Then it was ‘a misunderstanding ‘..
We mentioned all of this to the assistant manager Wayne on our second night. We had the impression he would take action. He thanked us for sharing it before making a negative review. He would discuss it with manager. Our last morning we noticed nothing had been done with the sun situation of the breakfast buffet.. We heard the manager, Calvin, had arrived. We expected him to have a chat with us but we did not see him..
So I went to his office and asked him if he heard from assistant manager. "I was not briefed".

A lovely stay!
The hotel is a very cute little boutique about a 10 minute walk up a hill from the main strip of camps bay. Has a lovely living room area with bar and pool, then a restaurant with a stunning view over the sea. The room was big and very well stocked (GHDs, hairdryer, cards, games, loaded with toiletries). And the staff were amazing always super friendly and helpful. It’s great choice if you want to be off of the busy main road!
