St. James Beach

Really convenient hotel in the heart of Cape Town, opposite St. George's Cathedral. The front of the hotel has limited parking options, so,c one has to valet for about $15 day. Beautiful lobby. Staff were super friendly. Laundry service was reliable. Their breakfast buffet was luxurious. We stayed for their high tea - yummy and wonderful selection of teas, like ROOIBOS. We had a great view of the mountain. I miscalculated by booking, and they were kind enough to extend out stay. They have a concierge that organizes everything - like helicopter trips. Good deal. Lovely rooms.

The staff was wonderful, everyone was pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful, especially the front desk employees. The morning breakfast was amazing. Also enjoyed the spa and sitting by the pool. Excellent location, close to everything on the V & A waterfront.

If staying in Cape Town, I would highly recommend staying at the Tree House. The rooms are modern and clean, the breakfast is great. However, the real value of this hotel is the staff. You could not ask for a kinder group of people. From the moment you arrive to the time you need to check out, the staff are always checking if there is anything they can help with, or any places they can recommend. That type of atmosphere is very hard to capture and this team do it seamlessly. 100% will return if I am ever in Cape Town.
