Awww I missed the breakfasts coz I ran the marathon Haha! Leaving at 3am! Overall, I loved the ambience. The staff helped me with flawless check in and check out. For someone travelling from the East Coast (East London, EC), I am 110% satisfied with my stay, as I stayed in Bloubergstrand for the Marathon. The night prior the race- I slept like a baby!! And during the race?? I was excited to go back and sleep on the comfortable bed!!! I also like the fact that the kitchen is open 24hrs (I think haha), coz I HAD to have breakfast at 2am. But I did confirm with a kind staff member first :)

Well located, clean rooms but tight. I had booked room with private bathroom but got one without
No ensuite private bathroom
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Excellent location, spacious, well-positioned.
The fittings are dated. Poorly maintained with damaged tiles, things like loose toilet seats and badly fitting doors. Regarding cleanliness, a 'pass', but it feels and smells tacky - the result of lack of proper cleaning with the correct cleaning chemicals over time.
