Overpriced. Not 4 star.
Location is good. Bed sheets are clean.
It is definitely not 4 star hotel. Room is very small, shower is narrow and the floor has a bowl shape that is a bit slippery, there is a lot of furniture in the room that blocks any narrow corridor. It doesn’t look generally well maintained. Despite it looks fine in the pictures. Sun always makes things betters. I believe it is overpriced!

Perfect location and excellent facilities within the accommodation.
Breakfast was relaxed and well prepared and cooked.
All staff were very friendly and especially helpful particularly Raino. The were always willing to give time to plan a day or book a restaurant.
Would highly recommend this place which is within a short distance of V&A Waterfront.

The Lodge felt like my home - can't wait to come back!
Hotel is nicely located in below Signal Hill and close to the sea, which makes it an ideal starting point to discover Cape Town. The Hotel is a real Gem from the inside, small, cozy and very familiar. The Staff is amazing it is overall a great place to hang out.

A cosy boutique haven with heartfelt service, chic design, and a truly welcoming home-away-from-home feeling.
A beautifully designed and very cosy lodge with a warm, boutique atmosphere.
The rooms, pool, and bar area are all high-end, and the location is perfect for exploring Cape Town.
Simon and the entire team made us feel like friends rather than guests — sharing great insider tips (like where to find the best ostrich steak!) and offering exceptional service.
The homemade cake and breakfast were delicious, and having a fireplace in our room made the stay truly unforgettable.
We can’t wait to come back!

Our whole stay at The Blackheath Lodge wat utter perfection, from the friendliest staff to the lovely breakfasts.
The staff were amazing and so helpful - the dinner recommendations were always perfect.
The rooms were stunning and the beds were extremely comfortable.
We stayed here for part of our honeymoon trip to South Africa and it was the highlight of our trip.
There was nothing during our stay at The Blackheath Lodge that we didn't like.

Exceeded expectations
Blackheath lodge exceeded all of our expectations. We stayed here for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon, and we were so impressed by the staff and accommodation, that we ended up booking into their sister hotel in Franschoek because of our experience in Blackheath Lodge. We were greeted originally by Riano who was very welcoming and friendly, and he kindly sat with us and went through our plans for our time in Cape Town and helped us to create an itinerary of what we'd like to do while we were there. He was also very helpful at booking trips around Cape town if we wanted to do them. For the other days in the hotel, we had the pleasure of dealing with Mimi, Simon, Grace and Comfort, all of whom were so friendly and welcoming. Mimi helped us to plan some of our days and booked dinners for us and Simon gave us great recommendations for Hermanus. The service was exceptional, honestly felt like we were at a home from home. Our room was beautiful and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious each morning. The location is ideal too - just a short walk from the sea front and you can safely walk along the sea to the V&A which is about a half hour walk from the hotel. I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone wondering where to stay in Cape town for the first time.
Everything was excellent, especially the fire in the sitting room and drinks. Laundry was expensive but the clothes came back in good condition.

We had an amazing stay at Blackheath Lodge. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming, especially Simon, who made us feel truly cared for. The entire atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and the breakfast each morning was delicious and beautifully presented. Every detail of the property felt thoughtfully prepared.
Honestly, the only downside was having to leave. We would have loved to stay longer!

We are a multi-generational family, and meeting our needs can be quite hard. Blackheath Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way... the location, the staff, the food, the room! Every single aspect of our stay was amazing. I rarely write reviews, but this property deserves it. Shoutout to the whole staff, who ensured my 82-year-old mother was taken care of at every turn! I can't say enough about this property!

Great 1 night stay.
Great accommodations and great customer service! We last minute booked a night due to flight changes so we only got to experience this place for a night. In that time they helped with recommendations and booking a dinner for us. I wish we had more nights here!
A little pricey for Cape Town in winter but a very nice place.

Fabulous staff, convenient location, and beautifully refined decor.
This is an amazing boutique lodge. What makes it stand apart are the fabulous staff and their personalized care and attention as well as the refined African decor (each space was unique). We enjoyed walking the promenade from the lodge to the V& A waterfront and there was a small pharmacy around the corner for quick purchases. Ubers arrived in 2-3 min and cost averaged $3 (45 rand) to the waterfront or to local restaurants. We will definitely return.

6.0 / 10.0
Nice but not worth the price. If the price was more reasonable, my review would be more favorable
Most staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very good.
The room, while nice and clean overall, was a bit strange. We were under the impression there were 2 bedrooms, however it was more like a king bed in the living room and another bed in a corner. There were no separators which was a bit awkward for me and my colleague.
Secondly, there was no door on the shower. A very strange choice for any group that stays there, albeit a family, coworkers, or friends. It seemed like a honeymoon suite with 2 beds? I'm not really sure who the room is designed for.
Third, this is a smaller concern but seems like something to bring up considering the price of the room. There was only internet TV available to watch, like youtube or apple plus. I can get that anywhere. Part of the traveling experience is seeing what other cultures watch, and if I'm paying a shitton for a room it would be nice to enjoy the room and have this experience. We wanted to watch the rugby game and had no way to see local television.
Finally, and probably most concerning, soon after we had checked in we were relaxing and napping in our beds when we heard someone enter our room. I got up to see that a worker had mindlessly entered without knocking or any semblance of a warning. This is unacceptable. Granted, the manager had graciously allowed us to enter the room early prior to normal check in, however there is still no reason for this to happen.
If you want to pay a lot for a nice breakfast and a nice manager this is the place to stay. However, earlier in our trip we had stayed at an apartment hotel in a better location for under half the price. I believe there are better options overall unless you are maybe two swingers couples on your honeymoons.
If the price was more reasonable, my review would be a lot more favorable.
