Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Dorp Hotel is frequently praised for its unique, boutique charm and stunning views of Cape Town, Table Mountain, and Lion's Head, especially from the rooftop terrace. Guests consistently enjoy the spacious rooms-some are as large as 40 square meters-often designed like individual cottages with kitchen facilities. The breakfast is delicious and extensive, while some rooms' proximity to the kitchen can lead to noise in the early morning or late at night. This hotel presents an amazing value, and features excellent comfort food in the restaurant.

delayed room service incorrect order

the breakfast was superb, with many fresh options available.

I encountered an issue with the room service. The order was delayed by almost an hour, and when it finally arrived, it was incorrect, quite disappointing. the staff seemed understaffed and overwhelmed that evening.

kitchen noise poor soundproofing

my stay began well, the architecture was classic, and the decorations seemed tasteful. however, the room i received felt quite noisy since it was next to the kitchen. i heard staff activity late into the night and early in the morning. it was difficult to sleep well because of the noise, i think soundproofing would help a lot.
