“A nice but short stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2011

I stayed Zest Villa for 1 night as a stop over on the way back to Asia. The hotel staff is very friendly and allow me to check out when I was ready to leave for Cape Town airport ( 3:15 pm) after knowing my flight schedule. That gave me some time to take a shower after exploring the city through hop-on-hop-off bus in the morning, which makes me fly with more comfort.
The only thing - as other reviewers have pointed, there is no door for bathroom, that is not a problem if you stay alone of course.

The breakfast was also a nice surprise - not a variety, but fresh and delicious! I am not sure if I have another chance to visit this city, but would love to stay again if there is.

Room Tip: inquire the staff first

“A lovely small boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 15, 2011

This small boutique hotel is very convenient. During the day, you can easily walk either to the Waterfront nor to the City Bowl (central Cape Town). The staff is very efficient and friendly. All the rooms are very quiet and well designed and equipped. There is a garden where you can relax, smoke with a lovely swimming pool, and a rooftop terrace. I would recommend this hotels to both solo and couple travelers. And finally, the room rate is very attractive for such a quality (a buffet brekfast is included).

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2011

We stayed for a week in this small, beautiful hotel in May 2011.The hotel is very clean & nicely decorated.The staff is amazingly helpful & freindly esp. Michelle.The hotel is close to a lot of good restaurants & walking to V & A waterfront as well though it isadvisable to take a taxi at night.
Due to the contemporary , open plan design the toilets of the rooms do not have doors which might be uncomfortable to some people.Otherwise,I can hardly find anything negative to say.
We would definately recommend this hotel to all travelling to cape town!

“Fantastic hotel with excellent personal service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2011

Myself & my sister stayed at Villa Zest recently and couldn't fault a thing. The staff were brilliant and very helpful with regards to advice on where to go and what to do and even arranging a transfer in Jo'burg for me.

The hotel is very stylish and clean and in a good location, its only a 10 minute walk to V&A and for anything further the hotel would always arrange a taxi for us. They were also quick to let us know that if we were ever lost or needed to get back to the hotel they would sort a lift asap if we rang them.

I would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Cape Town.

“Absolutely Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2011

This hotel more than lived up to our expectations after reading all of the previous reviews and in fact far exceeded them. The room was beautiful, a really good size and probably the cleanest hotel room I have ever seen! To top it off the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The staff were all so so lovely and keen to make recommendations, book taxis and restaurants and bring us drinks. They were also more than helpful when we wanted to order a takeaway after a tiring day. They honestly couldn't do enough for you, without being in the slightest bit intrusive. The location is ideal for exploring the city, waterfront and also the atlantic coast. Right in the middle of the action.

I would definitely stay here again and think the hotel is great value for money. Thank you to all of the staff, especially Scott who got the most of our requests/questions and general enquiries. We will be back! :-)
