My husband and I stayed here in August and had a wonderful time. Byron the concierge and Ian the chef of The Cape Colony restaurant were highlights. Byron took care of everything for us and did it in a way that felt like he was doing it as a friend, not an employee of a hotel. We were there for... more

I was a long-time visitor to the Nellie when I lived in Cape Town. Grand and unpretentious at the same time, a real treat. Their restaurants are among the best, if not the best, in Cape Town. Their high tea is outstanding, rivaled in my experience only at the Del Coronado in San Diego. I've only stayed there overnight once,... more

My husband and I stayed at the Nellie and loved it. It's the best hotel in Cape Town with top notch service, beautifully appointed rooms, and an excellent afternoon tea. The Nellie is located a quick cab ride away from away from the waterfront and is walking distance to the top of Long Street. The waterfront can be really crowded... more

What a great hotel! Great location and incredible service! Would recommend to anyone going to Capetown. more

We had a fab stay at the "Nellie" in March this year. Warm, friendly and very helpful staff, wonderful outdoor pool with great poolside service and food. Magnificent restaurant for dining in the evenings - All in all, a fabulous hotel for a great holiday with your loved ones, family and/or friends. Can't recommend this hotel enough - if you... more

Wonderful historic hotel. Rooms excellent. We were looked after very well. This was our second time, my sister in law and husband with us on their honey moon-sorry to leave after 3 days. Staff all very helpful-couldn't do enough for you. Rooms were excellent and breakfasts delicious with so much choice. Would recommend to anyone. more

I stayed at this hotel whilst on business, so I didn't have to pay for it out from my own pocket. None the less, I recommend this hotel for a number of reasons: The decor is old fashioned, but charming. Very English. The beds are incredibly comfy. There's a great attention to detail. After a long day, I would come... more

We are checking out today; we've been here 4 nights. From the very first minute we arrived we actually felt the hotel was built specifically for us! I've never stayed in a hotel where we were treated so well. Our concierge, Byron, was first class. We celebrated our honeymoon here obviously, but also my birthday. He found out both of... more

Spent three days here with a tour in March. It is a classic. Beautiful grounds, within walking distance of "downtown", and highly attentative staff. We were without luggage (lost by airline) for two days and the staff could not offer enough assistance with personal items to get us through this time. Breakfast buffet is outstanding, the restaurants and bars offer... more
