Pictures are deceiving
The photos really doesn't represent the state and look of the place, it's really old and run down

Warm and friendly welcome to Cape Town
We had a lovely stay at Finchley Guest House. They were very friendly and welcoming, and accommodating with our late check-in when our flight was delayed. Our room was clean and just as we expected it to be. Breakfast was delicious. Location and ocean view was beautiful.

Die teilsweise sehr guten Bewertungen finden wir interessant. Die Bilder auf der Webseite und den Hotel Portalen sind wohl schon recht alt und aus einer besseren Zeit. Zuerst möchten wir jedoch erwähnen, dass das Guesthouse nicht schmutzig war, das Personal ist sehr höflich und das Frühstück ist im Vergleich zu anderen Gusthouses schlicht aber ok. Wir bemängeln lediglich den Zustand des Hauses, es ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und teilweise wirklich sehr verschlissen. Vieles ist sehr abgenutzt und nicht einladend. Der Pool und der Innenbereich ist ziemlich einfach, die Stoffe auf den Sofas sind fleckig, Zimmertüre und Badtüre klappern bei Wind extrem, die Zimmer und das ganze Haus sind extrem hellhörig. Die Bilder vermitteln ein gepflegtes und schönes Guethouse, deswegen waren wir etwas enttäuscht, wir waren in vielen Guesthouses, die deutlich besser waren.

Leider entsprechen die Bilder nicht dem Zustand. Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Es roch muffig und die Möbel waren sehr abgenutzt. Der Teppich sah auch schon recht fleckig und abgenutzt aus. Von den Wänden platzte Farbe ab. Es sollte dringend in den Zimmern renoviert/saniert werden. Wir haben nach 30 Minuten ein anderes Hotel aufgesucht. Wer nur eine Unterkunft zum schlafen braucht und keinen Anspruch an Komfort stellt ist hier richtig. Für Erholungsurlaub leider ungeeignet.

Schönes Gästehaus mit Blick auf den Atlantik
Wir waren 3 Übernachtungen im Finchley guest house. Die Lage ist schön ruhig mit Blick aufs Meer. Parkplätze für Mietwagen stehen ausreichend in der Einfahrt zur Garage bzw. auf geschottertem Parkstreifen am Strassenrand zur Verfügung. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, insgesamt sind alle Mitarbeiter sehr bemüht und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss, dort hat uns enttäuscht der Zustand des Badezimmers, um die Toilette herum blättert grossflächig die Farbe ab. Hier besteht Renovierungsbedarf! Direkt vor unserer Terrassentür befand sich der kleine Pool, der allerdings aufgrund der derzeitigen Wasserknappheit nicht genutzt werden durfte, wofür wir natürlich Verständnis hatten. Fussläufig sind diverse Restaurants erreichbar, bis 22:00 Uhr kann an auch nach Aussage des Personals unbesorgt zu Fuss zurücklaufen. Es kann in Camps Bay sehr windig sein, an 2 Tagen hatten wir nachmittags und nachts stürmischen Wind mit starken Böen.

Tolle Lage, aber mit Instandhaltungsstau!
Schade, eine Super Lage für einen Kapstadt- Urlaub. Nettes Team, aber es fehlte der Blick auf die Details. Badezimmer, Kleiderschrank, alles irgendwie abgewohnt.

tolle Pension mit wunderschöner Aussicht
Das Finchley Guest House liegt in einer höher gelegenen Straße von Camps Bay und ist etwa 10 min Fußweg vom Ortskern entfernt. Von dort aus hat man eine wunderbare Sicht auf das Meer und bei gutem Wetter auf die Sonne bzw. den Sonnenuntergang. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Pension ist modern gestaltet mit großen Fenstern und ist sehr ordentlich geführt. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig. Außerdem verfügt die Pension über einen kleinen hübschen Garten.

Fina rum med magisk utsikt. Personalen gör vistelsen personlig och frukosten är bra. Max tio minuters promenad ner till strandpromenaden med många bra restauranger att välja mellan. När vi var där var det sol vid poolen från 12:00-19:30.
