Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Simon's Town Quayside Hotel enjoys a fantastic location right on the harbor, making it easy to stroll to nearby restaurants, shops, and even the penguins. Many guests enjoyed the spacious, sea-facing rooms, some featuring balconies with harbor views. While breakfast isn't served directly in the hotel, guests can enjoy a meal at a restaurant conveniently located just below. Some guests noted baboons in the area, so it's advisable to be mindful when opening windows.

Acceptable but Flawed Stay

noticeable odor disruptive traffic
The room had a noticeable odor (maybe stale air freshener?). the noise from the street was quite disruptive. I found it difficult to sleep soundly because of ongoing traffic. It is unfortunate because the hotel is quite close to everything.

drainage problem limited parking
The room i was initially assigned had a noticeable drainage problem. An unpleasant odor permeated the space. i requested and received a room change, though this inconvenience was disappointing. additionally, the limited parking made securing a spot near the hotel a challenge. It often necessitated relocating the car to avoid penalties.
