“We would go back”
Excellent accomodations and service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great breakfast and honor bar. Able to get around by walking or bus. Short walk to the soccer stadium. The only negative was parking is on the street. But we always found a spot and no one messed with the car. The guest house is very easy to get to.
“Friendly, convenient and welcoming”
After a longhaul journey from Australia with 2 small children, Olaf's was a welcoming destination. We were delighted with the accommodation and the location near parks and shops and within a short bus ride of all Cape Town's city attractions. Breakfasts were plentiful and all our food preferences were catered for.
“Refreshing stay”
I loved my three nights at Olaf's Guest House! It's great if you are looking for an island of crisp, clean European style comfort in Africa. Cape Town was at the end of my two week vacation, and I was more than ready for fast, free, reliable internet, billowy bedding and modern amenities. The breakfast was great (and free), you get eggs done to order with bacon. There's juice and coffee, bread, cheese, yogurt, fruit, and sliced meats laid out in the morning. All during the day there is a small refrigerator stocked full of drinks, payment is on the honor system - put your name on the sheet and what you took. Amazing. Raymond, the manager, was lovely as well. He called for cabs for me, he confirmed a tour, answered questions and was just generally very welcoming. Just don't let him tell you it's a short walk to V&A waterfront. It's 2.5 miles. I loved how small this place is as well, less than 20 rooms, very personal. I would definitely go back.
“Highly Recommended, Home from Home :)”
We booked this hotel after trawling through a vast list of others in Cape Town and decided to go with the good reviews for Olaf's. Boy were we not disappointed! it was lovely, the owner was so friendly and made time to talk to each of the guests each morning and the staff couldn't be faulted either on their friendliness, service with breakfast of the cleanliness of the hotel/rooms, nothing was too much trouble. There was free access to a laptop for internet use and the feeling that you were at home whist you were there, they operate an honesty bar so drinks both alcohol and non alcoholic were available whenever you liked you just need to mark it against your room and there was chocolate/crisps if you got the munchies and couldn't be bothered to go out to buy some. It is only a 10 min taxi drive away from the main Waterfront which is full of restaurants, shops, craft markets and boat trips. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to South Africa and got to see some amazing sights make time to go on a sunset boat trip you will not be disappointed. We would definitely go back to Olaf's on our next visit and can not recommend this hotel highly enough to all others.
