Top Lions Head Hotel Reviews

The Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Service was top notch. Had a few issues with room - maintenance took care of them. Excellent hotel, and would def recommend."

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely hotel that we returned to multiple times on our trip and each time the rooms were excellent. The staff of this hotel is also incredibly friendly and helpful. We really felt taken care of and the location would be hard to beat. Breakfast is also delicious and included. You’re about 1 block from the ocean and you can see Lion’s Head from the hotel. You’re also about one block from an area with tons of restaurants. Would stay here again."

The Bantry Bay Aparthotel by Totalstay

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at Bantry Aparthotel. It was actually an extension to my first booking which I did as a separate booking which I was pleased to see did not cause any problems and I was able to retain my same room. All the staff there were helpful and friendly. My room was one of the Penthouse suites so I have a nice little kitchen and a big full size bathroom. There are views with balcony from both the living room and the bedroom and there is a nice roof patio area to the rear. Ocean views are magnificent. The suite was quiet, comfortable, well equipped. Some areas show a little age / wear but nothing I'd find an issue. Its a good, solid, honest aparthotel in a fantastic location. Parking is fine for smaller cars but may be rather tight if you turn up in a Range Rover or something. You can safely walk around the area - the beach, local shops, bars, restaurants and other amenities are all near. Ideal stay to explore the area from."

Compass House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for part of our Honeymoon and the hotel was amazing, from the room to the breakfast and all the staff went above and beyond! We highly recommend to anyone considering this hotel and the location was great too! It’s is right in between V&A and camps bay so Ubers are easy to get around."
