During our trip to Cape Town we stayed 10 nights at 'Dolphin Inn Guest House'. We received a friendly welcome and our room was in tip top condition. Spacious and very neat. The bathroom was also in excellent condition. Breakfast was provided by the friendly hostess Karen. There is no shortage of travel information, you can look at numerous books and guides in the cozy reading corner with a glass of South African wine. The stay at 'Dolphin Inn Guest House' had absolutely everything we expected: good location, view of the ocean, nice atmosphere. Very friendly hostess! Definitely recommended for those who want to visit Cape Town.

The location of the Dolphin Inn is exzellent. From Beach rd you can walk to V&A waterfront, the near by parks or to dinner. And the best thing about it, you always can see the ocean while you do it. The Dolphin Inn is run with so much love. The breakfast is not just freshly cooked every day. Its also a opportunity to meet interessting people from all over the world! It feels like home. We wish You all the best!

The Dolphin Inn is situated with stunning ocean views set amongst new high rise apartments, but is quaint and homey. Hostess Karen is wonderfully welcoming, informative and individually helpful. Rooms are clean and fine. Breakfasts are excellent with range of options for a small place. The only reason for sleep quality not being great is that there was construction going on two doors down with loud digging. Otherwise would have been excellent

i was hesitant to leave a review because i didn’t want the dolphin inn to become too popular. all for selfish reasons of course. although my trip/stay was a quick turnaround overnight, dolphin inn checked all the boxes. this place is like a humble abode - very cosy, well furnished, tastefully decorated, bed was very comfortable, and staff were exceptionally trained - very friendly, extremely accommodating, thoughtful, very personable. location is right at the beach front. very pleased i was able to get in a long run along the coastline pre-flight. because of the very close proximity to restaurants, bars and the beach, one would expect some level of noise & traffic. there was nothing. very quiet street, there are people around so you feel safe. definitely coming back same time next year, if not sooner, and this time for a much longer stay. thank you for everything, dolphin inn. see you again.

Perfect place to start or end a roundtrip in South Africa. Perfect location with sea view from the breakfast room and just about 10 minutes walk away from the V&A Waterfront. Good restaurants for dinner in walking distance. Nice decorated rooms - very individual! We loved to have breakfast at the big table with seaview and the possibility to meet and talk to other guests from all over the world! Our host Karen did not only prepare a great breakfast but she did everything to make us feel like at home.

Wonderfully funky decor, in a great location (on the waterfront, within walking distance of the V&A harbour area), with a very personable and caring hostess. Also great value for money. What more could you want?
