Every staff member bent over backwards to make us feel at home. This was an experience I can not wait to redo. I will definitely stay here again. ##### Gregory Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The service and staff at Derwent House are exceptional, nothing is too much and the thought that has been taken to make our stay enjoyable is gruels astounding. Everything you need is provided and some of the very thoughtful touches both in your room and in the dining area are so well done. the staff at Derwent house are exceptional, if your going to Cape Town stay here it’s amazing. ##### Janet ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol 26 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities From the moment you enter the beautifully decorated lounge area, you know this is your home away from home. The room isnt large, but well appointed. Staff is superb. Great restaurants nearby and we also we walked the 30 min. downtown( we are 72) took Uber everywhere else. Breakfast is fabulous and the little touches of having cake or cookies around in the afternoon was an added bonus. There are steps to all the rooms that I could see so if this is a problem, check. Otherwise, this is the place to stay. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JUSTIN 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing hotel - the best! Absolutely fabulous hotel - incredible service, superb room, great indoor & outdoor spaces and amazing breakfast. Complimentary tea, coffee and cake in the afternoon as well as well stocked honesty bar. I am struggling to think of a better place that we have stayed at around the world - it is the staff in particular that go the extra mile with everything that really differentiates this hotel from others. A truly 6 star experience. Thank you so so much - you are all superstars ##### JUSTIN Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Amazing staff Location at the bottom of table mountain about 15 minute walk from the centre. The staff are the number one selling point and will help with whatever you need. The communal area is beautiful with a warm fire and comfy sofas. Breakfast was delicious. Room was a bit small but that was the only complaint. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krishan 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceeded expectations Home from home! It was everything you’d wish for and more. The team couldn’t do more for us and made us feel like part of the family. They were always giving us ideas for things to do, places to go and eat. One of the best places we’ve stayed and always warmly welcomed. Loved it. Away from the tourist traps and in a cool spot ##### Krishan Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris 9 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### Good guesthouse and value for money Good guesthouse and value for money, but a few things that could easily be improved. Locks to rooms didn’t work properly, service was sweet but a bit overwhelming and breakfast was a little average. Luca the manager however was absolutely fantastic and super helpful, would recommend. ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Village.h889520.Hotel-Information) > > [Babylonstoren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Babylonstoren.h5030791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > > [River Manor Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-River-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h485182.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Marriott-Hotel-Crystal-Towers.h2774348.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Camps Bay Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Camps-Bay-Retreat.h1100401.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tintswalo Boulders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Tintswalo-At-Boulders-Boutique-Villa.h31526122.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marly Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Marly-Hotel.h6885966.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawhill Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lawhill-Luxury-Apartments.h4280116.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Ritz-Cape-Town.h520317.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Beachfront Apartments At Leisure Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Beachfront-Apartments-At-Leisure-Bay.h1909894.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information)
