Hotels near South African Astronomical Observatory

"We recently stayed 5 nights at this beautiful hotel in the heart of the City and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. From the time we checked in to the time we checked out we were treated like royalty and every whim was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our beautiful rooms had excellent views of Table Mountain and two restaurants on site offered excellent food options, with the Bombay Brasserie a must visit. The bar too is an excellent place to unwind after a long day. I can’t say enough about the staff …..everyone from the front desk, concierge, doormen, bar & restaurant staff always had smiles on their faces and were eager to please. We have stayed here before and will certainly do so again. "

"Great staff"

"I cannot begin to express the level of hospitality the staff has spills upon me. They were thorough, kind, informative and I’ve already recommended them to friends and relatives who will be making their way to Cape Town within the next month or so. "

"The staff were great but the condition of the rooms could be improved because one of the two rooms we booked smelled damp and mouldy and had an extractor fan that would not switch off (which was really noisy at night). The other room was fine but there should be consistency. "

"We spent 3 excellent nights at the Afton Safari Lodge. We had a large room with a sitting area, small refrigerator, and large bathroom. The bed and room were very comfortable and nicely decorated. But what really made our stay was the owners, Tony and Marieka. From the time we arrived, they made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was plentiful and good. We opted for the yogurt, fruit muesli, etc. Marieka also booked us a table for dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant. The food was excellent. We stay there again if we return to Cape Town."

"The building is beautiful and peaceful with gorgeous natural light. The staff is extremely helpful. "

"I was never able to enter. The phone number they gave me never answered so was left at night trying to find another place to stay the night. It’s unacceptable that they won’t answer the phone they required you to call. "

"Good facilities. Easy parking. Mr Nazier is courteous and his team puts in a great effort. Generally a central location if you have a private car. "

"A most beautiful main building, Cape Dutch at its historical best. My room was luxurious."
