The spa treatments we booked were good, but the spa facilities themselves are not up to their past good standard. The staff were pleasant and attentive, but the mens change room had no combs or towels, and the shower was not working properly.

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed here on our first leg of our honeymoon and we literally wanted to cancel the rest of our trip to stay longer. Our experience was amazing. Every single person at 12 Apostles, from chambermaids to concierge to wait staff to upper management, all make you feel like the most important person in the hotel.

We are in a rather old fashioned room, nothing fancy. Rather old. Next to us is a party, probably a normal event for a weekend? It is so noisy in our room, we can here every person speak, the music, dancing, speeches. Totally unacceptable for this kind of hotel. We pay for peace and quiet in a luxury setting, something the hotel is not providing. In addition, dinner yesterday for our party of 7 was disappointing. Service took 3 hours for a simple meal of mediocre quality. And I mean mediocre (being generous here). We are in Capetown where food is normally excellent! We will never ever stay here again, there are plenty of better hotels in town. A disgrace!

I've been dining at the Azure Restaurant each time l visit Cape Town over many years, always finding this to be one of the most enjoyable experiences during my stay in the Mother City. This time the meal was okay, service fine but certainly not outstanding. Somehow the sparkle had disappeared. The tables were beautifully set, white table clothes, silver cutlery, dark blue chairs and thick carpets. But looking up above l could see the three large glass shades were filthy, glass shades on the counter also Red Carnation Hotels pride themselves on delicious food, splendid luxury and best attention. Not quite up to these high standards on my last visit.

This hotel is fantastic. The service is top notch and the hotel has so much to do! Lots of restaurants, the best views, a movie theatre and lovely rooms. All the food was great especially their fresh breakfast scones. We appreciated the complimentary shuttle to tourist spots - this made it super easy to get around. Thank you for making our honeymoon a memorable experience…I hope we get the chance to come back!

We had stayed at other Carnation group hotels in London so knew the hotel would be of a very high standard. We were not disappointed. From the breathtaking location to the faultless service we had a wonderful three day stay. The staff were all friendly. Thank you so much

This was the second time we stayed at the Twelve Apostles hotel and are looking forward to the third. We had an ocean facing, premium room, actually it was a suite. The king sized bed in the sleeping area was very nice. The bathroom was large though it didn't have double sinks. The bathroom had separate bathtub and shower. Down 3 steps from the sleeping area was a full living area. Outside there was a deck with chairs and table as well as lounge chairs. The restaurant served a wonderful breakfast and a good dinner. The bar was large, comfortable and served great drinks. There was a zero edge pool and a garden pool outside. The spa was downstairs. There was a more casual restaurant in which we got a burger. Reception is large with a seating area and a shop there. There is shuttle service to take you down to the waterfront if you want to go downtown. It will take you some other places as well...don't go crazy on your requests as it is not a sightseeing shuttle. I would stay at this hotel again, not only is it elegant but much more peaceful than the hotels at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront. One can have the best of both worlds.

This famous hotel was carefully chosen to complement a very special occasion knowing that its staff is dedicated to doing so and boy did they deliver. From check in to the restaurants to the concierge, cleaners, mini van drivers, everyone really and we are grateful to each and everyone of them for helping us celebrate and ensuring the memories will be forever cherished. Needless to say that all foods and beverages were equally of high quality and delicious and plentiful. With so many 5 stars hotels popping up in Cape Town it’s good to see the 12 Apostles is still up there as 1 of the best

From the moment I stepped foot into the hotel, it was evident that I was in for something special. The impeccable service and unparalleled guest relations (Zinhle) made my stay truly memorable. Throughout my stay, the hotel staff displayed exceptional attentiveness and professionalism. The restaurant staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to accommodate my dietary preferences. One aspect that truly stood out was the hotel's dedication to guest satisfaction. They took the time to understand my preferences and proactively anticipated my needs, offering personalized recommendations and ensuring I had an unforgettable experience.
