Quirky property close to the sea front. Decor and especially the electrics could do with updating but the 'hot' tub was fun (we didn't heat it as we wanted to cool down)

Amazing place to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Property is minutes away from the beach and restaurants and shopping. Apartment had refrigerator, stove, sink, balcony. There's a nice pool to relax and breakfast is available with an incredible view of the ocean.

A little disappointed
It was smaller than expected, the kettle, and oven didn't work properly. We were expecting a lounge or a couch but the TV is in the kitchen and the glare of the sun made it difficult to even catch up on news. It was very noisy, and the ceiling fan had only 1 setting - very fast or off. I would recommend it is serviced every 2nd day, not every fourth day.

The stay and environment was welcoming. I wish they can find a way to install the TV as it was difficult to use it due to its position. Probably they must consider moving it into bedroom

We had requested a hotel-type room not on the ground floor. However, we were given a mini-apartment type room and told it was an 'upgrade'. I wish we had been given our actual requested room type. Safety and Windows: The first apartment room we were given was on the ground floor and one of the windows wouldn't properly shut - not particularly safe. Instead of offering us another available room, we were told the window would be fixed whilst we were out... meaning the room had to be left open and anyone would have access to our room and our items whilst we were out - not particularly safe. We asked to be provided with another room instead and were reluctantly moved. When we got into our new apartment room, one of the windows in there also did not lock properly - not particularly safe. Water: We wanted to have a quick shower before heading out on a tour, but there was no running water in our room. We tried calling the reception to sort out the problem, but our room-phone wouldn't work and wouldn't connect us to the reception. So we had to go to reception and ask about the water. It was only then that we were told there was a burst in one of the nearby water mains so we would be without for a while whilst it was being fixed. Electricity: There was a power-cut one night. We went to the reception only to be told that the area was load-shedding and we would be without for 2 hours. No one had told us this - a heads up would have been nice. I expected better for the price.

Stayed here each visit to Camps Bay & know most of the rooms. Booked single superior room based on photos on app knowing around pool & with outside seating area. When I arrived was told that was being put in a studio in block on camps bay drive which bear not relation to photos Jacques was really helpful & changed me to a pool side studio but not the one Of the rooms I specifically thought I’d get based on app photos Love this place & would definitely stay again but feel need to be more specific in room advertising

Disappointing this time around
We love the complex and location been going there for years. But this time around we were disappointed with the cleanliness and service. We can also make a bed and wash dishes its the rest that need attention. Our stay fell over a weekend and public holiday, with no service on these days which is fine but then we should not pay the same rate. You can not use the Bay Hotel for marketing but do not supply ice, not proper guide to use safe, tv not working properly even though we reported it. Just overall disappointing

The best thing about this property is its location being minutes from the bars and restauraunts on Camps Bay. The apartments are basic but everything was supplied to enjoy our stay. The only downside is that the access to the Camps Bay Hotel is restricted to the left hand side of the hotel. We tried to visit on three occasions but there weren't sufficient sun beds and they were very cramped together. The pool is small. The other pool on the other side was virtually deserted which seemed a shame as we weren't allow we'd over there. That saying its a real bonus of The Camps Bay village to allow access. Definately our chosen place to stay. We have stayed twice in the apartments and once in the stone cottages and will def stay there on our next visit. Excellent value for money.

Great value studio in the heart of Camps Bay
I was very pleasantly surprised by my stay here. From the super-friendly and helpful receptionist to the space and comfort of my studio apartment. Huge bed, firm mattress and pristine cotton bedding. The ceiling fan was effective and quiet enough to leave running all night without disturbing my sleep. The location is second to none. I would happily stay here again.

The flat we had was lovely, had everything we needed and looked out onto the beach. The location within the complex was not good - we were not aware that you had to book parking as on this website it advertised free parking, Therefore we had not organised anything meaning we had to try and find a space on the road in a very busy area. And our flat was quite a walk from reception. The staff at check in were less than helpful, even running out of the apartment as soon as he handed us the keys, before we had the chance to ask anything because he knew we were not happy. Other than that it is in the centre of the town with plenty of restaurants close by.

Scary
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed on across 5 continents. Despite the gate security one did not feel safe. The bathroom was from the 1950s, the area between the street and the apartment felt like a war zone. When my safari dates changed 8 months out they wouldn't refund me. Quite frankly, I am shocked expedia would have this on their site.

Fantastic location
We had a great stay, so close to everything and easy to walk around, the pool area is nice and chilled, however more umbrella are needed as there is little shade. Our apartment was a good size and amemties like a coffee machine you can buy pods for is a nice touch, only downside was air-con only in 1 of the bedrooms. The staff are lovely and help with car hire and tours etc, rooms cleaned and new towels replaced regularly. Only issue was the amount of stairs and a long walk especially with suitcases if you are staying in the bottom part of the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic stay.

Loved it!
Reception was were so helpful. I had a late flight so asked if in could use the room later than the extended checkout time and they were extremely accommodating. I would stay here again any time I'm back in camps bay. Also having use of The Bay Hotel was amazing. The pool area there's is stunning perfect spot for the sunset. I stayed in the classic room which was a good price for a very large room!

Great Location appartments
Very good value for money, great location and you get access to the sister 5* hotel along the seafront. rooms are a little dated, window blinds, bathroom fittings etc. but everything worked, service from the desk was always helpful. For our group of 16 on a Cricket Tour, this was a perfect product for the price.

Excellent position. Really nice people. Room comfortable and private pool, and sun deck. Couple of problems: parking dire, ended up parking on the street. No food on site, although their sister hotel is nearby. Lots of cafes and eating places nearby, though. Wifi not free, but not bad or expensive. Would certainly go back.

I stayed in a family apartment (#15). Very nice. Secure location and close to the beach. wifi is a rip off and would be a deal breaker if i'd needed it. Parking is secure and worth the 90 rand fee.
