Beautiful setting - opposite a 5km promonade , good exercise spot with facilities. Grapes, Gallery and Gourmet on Wednesday nights; beautifully presented dishes (5 courses) paired with local wines. Winemaker in attendance makes for an interesting evening but the Chef wont part with any recipes! Big YUUUMMM evening. Comfortable conference facilities. A definite favourite.

The hotel is in a great location in Sea Point, with free shuttles to/from the Waterfront which is very useful. The hotel itself is excellent, great customer service and rooms are spacious and comfy. I highly recommend the Jazz Lunch - which is every Sunday. Double check that you have a booking, as we had but the hotel had no... More

The hotel is on the sea front in Cape Town. A 50 yard walk across an open grass park brings you to the sea front promenade which stretches for several km in both directions. The area feels very safe with many people enjoying exercising on the prom at all hora of the day. The hotel is built around a central... More

Great Service in this Hotel. Perfect for a Business and leisure trip. The staff is friendly and giving ist best in trying to organize everything to your full pleasure. The Location and the view are great! Unfortunately, it gets a Little loud in the morning due to poor noise cancellation in the rooms and the WIFI is way to expensive.

Stayed here for a couple of days while on business. A local company booked it for me. It is in a good location, nice part of town, with a large grassed area between the hotel and the sea. At weekends there are plenty of people cycling, walking, skate boarding and jogging, even the odd paraglider landing from a flight down... More

My husband and I attended a three day training course at Winchester Mansions in April. I am wheat and dairy intolerant and vegetarian and the effort that the staff went through to cater for me was beyond anything expected - they even went to the extent of baking me my own wheat-free muffins!!

this is by far one of the best hotels I have ever been to. The customer service is great, the front desk employees are very helpful and some of them go out of their way to help customers.

Lovely old hotel in the Sea Point area of Cape Town, well maintained and very obliging staff. A pretty safe area and ideal if you like walking. The hotel also appears popular with locals, which is never a bad thing, the bar can get pretty busy in the evening, you can drink alfresco. There is a good restaurant, nothing too... More

Lovely hotel, just as described by reviews. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. Not really set up for business travelers, no "work" chair and desk in the rooms ... but then again who would want to work with the ocean at your door step?!
