Staff rude, and sloppy, place needs a clean up and good paint. Wifi not working, shower was either boiling hot or cold. Definitely going down hill since last visit. Excellent view was all it had going for itself

The hotel was difficult to find, but the location, close to the water and the city center, was indeed very good. It was quite a simple hotel, but the rooms were modern, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent (no bathtub: hooray!) We booked a room with a balcony on the ocean side, but could have skipped that: the roaming babboons made it necessary to keep de windows close and not to go outside. In itself no problem and we had a story to tell at home. Hotel staff was very friendly. The breakfast was served in a restaurant close to the hotel and was sober but good.

Great location. Great view. Friendly and supportive staff. Neat and clean rooms. However no covered and safe parking. No Loadshedding generator backup. Baboons was a pest but that is nature and the hotel can't do nothing about that. We enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

My stay at Quaysides Hotel was the best experience ever. I had so much fun. The staff and all the employees are super friendly and helpful. My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves and we’ll definitely be visiting soon. The room we were staying is so so clean and neatly arranged.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We walked everywhere as the hotel is close to many shops and restaurant. One minutes to shops, the water and amazing restaurant. So convenient and value for money. Clean and organised. I will be back.

Loved this place. Simple, no common parts like bar or restaurant, just reception with some chairs, but the rooms are spacious and clean, good bathrooms, and location is great. So much to do explore outside the door. Good bars & restaurants.

We stayed only 1 night, which was enough for us to visit the cape of good hope, bolders beach with the pinguïns The hotel has a great hospitality, the room with the view on the harbour is great! Good value for money. Thanks for the pleasant stay!

What a view! Clean rooms. Only negative is the lack of covered parking. Walking from the open parking to the hotel, informal traders were harassing us. The location and views made up for this. Will stay there again

We enjoyed our stay at Simon’s Town Quayside Hotel very much. A great location and we had a room with a great view! The people at the receptionist were very friendly. Good restaurants near by and the penguins at walking distance!

Staff not interested in providing any level of politeness. No hotel services, no breakfasts recommended Betty’s next door for food which was equally poor. Room was clean and great view. But reception rude and disinterested.worst place we stayed in 10 daus
