Check in was fine, room was studio on the ground floor and slept two, four in total which would most likely be two small children on the sleeper couch which we didn't use. Furnishings very nice, bed comfortable. Small patio which had a sea view but is overlooked by all the other units. The hotel wasn't really that busy as... More

My fiance and I had an awesome time on the sunny Camps Bay strip. We jogged, ate and swam to our hearts content..... Would not hesitate to go again.... Love the Place on the Bay.

Stayed there for three nights. Simple and clean, good bed. Perfect if you want to be close to Victoria Road, yet very quiet at night. Wifi is not for free, but bandwidth in Camps Bay anyhow is mediocre.

The location of Place on the Bay is as good as it gets!! The facilities, room size and amenities are just right. Service, helpfulness and friendliness of staff was great. All very clean and very well run. A highly recommended location.

Perfect place in camps bay. nice rooms with lovely views. We had 2 bottles of wines that were not good but we didn‘t have to pay for them including 2 bottles we ordered earlier in the week. Service was great. Minus points were the construction who were innovating the street.

Really pleased we stayed here, perfect location, flat walk to all the fab restaurants nearby. Room much nicer than I expected, sea view and very friendly staff I thought. Would defo stay again, just be slightly wary of beggars outside the only ATM in camps bay; I got distracted and the machine ate my card- front desk said they have... More

Considering this hotel is situated right on the seafront in Camps bay which is one of the most expensive areas to stay/live in cape town this hotel is in a prime location and very reasonably priced compared to other properties in this area (you are not paying 5 star prices and it is not a five star property). We had... More

Although we had booked a non smoking room, the pillows/room smelled like someone had been smoking seriously. Seaview if you hang out of the window. The rooms are not very exitingly decorated, they could certainly do with an uplift. Location is great, just a stone throw away from the beautiful cosmopolitan beach. Value for money not great. I was shocked... More

Having just left the Radisson Blu which we loved, to move to Camps Bay for a couple of nights, we were extremely disappointed at the tiny, noisy rooms available - luckily there were just 2 adults & 1 child and not the 2 grandparents who were originally coming with us, as we would have been constantly tripping over each other....

Stayed here one night at the start of a big tour through Africa: thought we'd have a night somewhere nice before roughing it. However, we wish we hadn't. We paid extra for a sea view but as the rooms aren't double glazed this just means you have a loud room. The rooms are clean but average with dated bathroom fittings... More
