Newkings Boutique Hotel comes highly recommended for its prime location near the promenade, markets, and waterfront, albeit with a caveat for noise-sensitive guests. The hotel's value is celebrated for its spacious accommodations and cost-effective parking. Guests frequently commend the welcoming atmosphere, underscored by commendable room features, cleanliness, and attentive staff.
While the rooms are lauded for their size and modern amenities, breakfast service receives mixed reviews, and some guests would prefer more variety. Despite this, the overall service and meticulous cleanliness are consistently acknowledged, enhancing the hotel's appeal.

Detailed Reviews
This is a particularly special hotel, in the most exceptional location in Sea Point. The service was impeccable (really friendly, informative reception staff) and the food was great (breakfast is lovely, served with a view of the ocean). The room was a really good size, well appointed, and with user-friendly fixtures (plug-points, dual basins/vanities, etc, robes).
I truly loved the big bath, and very hot water.
We also loved that it's situated above a small mall that was a Woolies food, a great Spar, as well as a Vida/liquor store, etc. We also made use of the hairdresser in the mall.
Walking distance to the promenade, with lovely restaurants all around.
We'd not have known of this were it not for their social media presence, as it seems like a quite a new venue, or newly rebranded, perhaps? Totally worth the visit.

Newkings is attractively priced in a central female friendly communityand provided all the basic necessities. Each room has its own unique view I would easily pay more to wake up seeing.
I opted for having meal outside so except for one meal, I am not able to say much on the quality of the meals. My lunch of salmon and bak choy while watching the waves crashing for me was excellent.

The Hotel is situated not far out of the city and only requires a cheap Uber ride to the main attractions. The Hotel staff can do it for you. We actually walked to the city . The staff were very helpful . The rooms were modern with adequate space.. Many good restaurants close by. Easy parking below for a small daily fee.

Access to the hotel is via a lift from the car park. Hotel guests get free parking
The room was spacious and housekeeping was very good
The restaurant however lets the hotel down
Breakfast is not served until 07.30 which is not helpful if you have an early start for an excursion or business meeting
Breakfast was served to our table by friendly staff from a limited choice menu
The quality itself was fine but on asking if I could have water instead of juice I was told that I would have to pay for it
Similarly when I asked for a second cup of coffee I was again told I would have to pay extra. Really?!
Finally there is no communal area to meet friends and no additional facilities

The hotel is neat and clean but does not cater for business travellers. After pre-booking breakfast (after reading on the website that breakfast is served from 07h00), when I arrived I was told that breakfast is served from 07h30, I could not get breakfast earlier and I would not be refunded the fee for breakfast that I had prepaid. So good for tourists, but a terrible option for the business traveller who has an early appointment.

This hotel is located in an excellent position in Seapoint within walking distance of the seafront and a short bus ride to the V&A waterfront. The rooms were large, spacious and well equiped with lovely views of Lion’s Head.
There is a good restaurant as well as a shopping centre literally under the hotel.
Cleaning was very good and efficient and essential services maintained during load shedding

We had a great stay at New Kings, which is conveniently located in central Sea Point. The location is perfect and our double room had a lovely sea view. The room was really spacious, very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. It came with a tea/coffee station fridge (with bottled water) and a microwave.
There was a separate toilet room and a very roomy shower area with fluffy white towels and dressing gowns.
Our highlight were the very friendly team who were always smiling and available to help. They provided extras that we needed in our room, as well as helping to print out documents we needed for travel.
The neighbourhood can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected if you want to be close to lots of lovely restaurants, markets, bars etc. I think the hotel has done a very good job of sound proofing and even as a light sleeper, I didn't have any problems getting a good night's rest.

i arrived on Tuesday the 23rd of May and booked in as normal. after a long day i wanted to take a shower and there was no water, when i contacted reception I was told "oh yes the plumbers are busy with maintenance on the geysers". my response was that surely one should have been told that there will be an interruption in water as they are busy with maintenance. water only came on at 20:30, and could take a shower at21:00. the next morning water was cold again, so could not take a shower to begin my day.

Dear Andries Thank you for taking the time to complte the GuestRevu survey about your stay at our newkings boutique hotel. My team and I appreciate receiving your feedback about our rooms, their amenities, and the service that we provide, which is valuable in continuously improving our quality. We are delighted that we have met your service expectations, as we continue to provide the highest standard of Cleanliness. We apologize for the inconvenience of the hot water. We were not informed from the plumber that this fitting would interfere with the hot water supply. The hotel has installed solonoi on all geysers to manage the supply and retention of hot water in our geysers even during load shedding. Our project manager did speak to you to explain and apologize that same evening.

Modern hotel, close to the scenic Atlantic seaboard and the Sea point strip of restaurants, shops and pubs. We felt safe and enjoyed the walks along the coast and to the local attractions.
Rooms were spacious and clean and the restaurant was modern, with great food and service.
It was missing some detail ito quality in the rooms - tv was not that functional and the beds were hard.
It is a lively neighbourhood so be prepared for some noise late into the night.
Please check the water quality as our bath water was brown in colour.

We stayed at the Newkings Boutique on a recent trip. When we entered our room the view actually took our breath away! The staff at the front were amazing! The onsite restaurant is really good but there are also several amazing food options within walking distance. This hotel is also very close to a hop on hop off bus stop if you are wanting to explore the city.

There are two ways of getting from the airport to the hotel.
1] The easiest is to book a shuttle which will transport you direct from the airport to the hotel, certainly the easiest and most convenient especially after a long flight and is you have baggage, or
2] One can take a bus will will bring you to the foreshore and then a taxi to the hotel, which entails a certain amount of handling ones bags.
