I would definitely recommend The Bantry to others traveling to Cape Town. The property is located in an area where it is safe to walk after dark and there are plenty of food options within a few blocks. The hotel is also one block from the beach walk and the tour buses stop a half block from the hotel. Our hotel room was spacious and we had a great view of the ocean. The staff was very accomodating. I would recommend the bar staying open a bit later; it closed between 7:00 and 8:00 every night.

The location of the hotel is very convenient and the staff is very polite and helpful. Avoid stay on the first floor as the restaurant is located here. The noise and the banging starts very early every morning around 7am. Although we wake up early but not at 7am so thats huge negative from my side.

Lovely stay at Bantry Bay

Nice hotel conveniently located in a beautiful part of town. Service was excellent, breakfast was good, room amenities were great. Only issue was the lack of sufficient generator backup during electricity load shedding periods in the area; we were told that the hotel was in the process of getting the issue fixed.

My original reservation was booked through Expedia and, apparently, you two don’t work well together: I choose to pay in full at the property and you guys want a deposit, which wasn’t announced to directly by you or by Expedia. When I arrived to check-in, my reservation was inexistent and between speaking to the property and Expedia, it was very frustrating seeing both of you guilting each other. Also, the carpet in the rooms is DISGUSTING. This is 2025, please get rid of them.

Feeling like a glitzy jetsetter

I booked a standard duplex and did not know that this means the view is down the busy main road in Sea Point so cannot open the sliding doors or windows due to noise. The duplex was on the 4th floor. I then realised as a Gold member I could have been offered a free upgrade. After chatting to the friendly reception staff and the manager on duty we reached a win-win situation, I just paid in a little bit to get a super upgrade to a penthouse duplex suite on the 5th floor!!! I already booked a very good low season winter's rate so this was an amazing deal. Amazing large patio at the back (same level as bedroom) with a view of Lion's Head hill and to the front a spectecular view of the Atlantic Ocean. The lounge and kitchen level also had a balcony with a sea view. I would recommend to rather park on the 1st level as the basement level is very small and tight. This was a once in a lifetime stay as the hotel will be renovated soon and I am sure it will most likely be much much more expensive then.

There are a few issues with this property. Firstly and most importantly, South Africa has rolling blackouts around two to three times a day. This Property does not have a backup generator at all. This means complete darkness with limited backup lighting - nor do the elevators work during blackouts, sonic you stay there don’t be on the 4th floor. This is not disclosed in their website or on Expedia. Almost all hotels in South Africa have adequate power backups. Secondly, staff are quite unfriendly and unhelpful. It seemed everything was a hassle. I requested a an hour later checkout and was refused without checking their system and the hotel was clearly empty. In addition you cannot charge things at the bar to your room. Small things that may irritate travelers. Room wise, it’s ok but not great. Despite having ‘VIP’ access we were given a room facing the main road in the loud side of the hotel. The cheap plastic blinds don’t block out the sun so you should expect to be awake very early especially in summer. The shower gel in the bathroom had some mold on the bottle. All in all there are much better options on the Atlantic seaboard at that price.

Overall a wonderful play to unwind in Seapoint

Overall i enjoyed my stay at this wonderful establishment. My only minor issues related to what was included in my booking as free. I had free self parking yet i was asked both on arrival and departure to pay for parking, however on both occasuons when i told the receptionists parking was included they said its ok. I was also supposed ro get a free bottle of wine during my stay which i did not get. Im not sure if this was reflected in the booking that was sent to the hotel from hotels.com.
