We enjoyed the pretty location along the water, good price, nice breakfast food and drinks, friendly staff, lounge, and quirky design of this hotel. Our room was also really clean with wood floors (no carpet, hurrah!) and had everything you'd need (iron, hangers, safe, mini-fridge, operable windows, etc.) Our biggest complaint was the so-called "horn house" across the street. Wow,... More

My husband and I stayed at La Splendida for 9 nights after Easter in April 2012. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated in a cool minimalistic way and the hotel is really central, close to the Waterfront, town and Sea Point which is great, the staff are super friendly and the view and being right across the road from...

I recently stayed at Hotel Splendida and, despite its fantastic location on Mouille Point, this hotel is a disappointment. A splash of bright colour isn't enough to disguise the fact that the rooms date to the mid-century and are in desperate need of a thorough renovation. The bathroom, in particular, looked like something out of mid-century hostel with dated finishes... More

Just back from a cracking stay in one of the best cities in the World. Spledida is one of the cheaper options but very glad to have opted for it. Arrived at hotel a bit early and they prepared the room early for us. Rear facing room had beautiful view of golf course, stadium and Signal Hill. Hotel has the... More

I have stayed here on a number of occasions before their rennovations (and price hike) and have always been really happy with the accommodation. Two issues (apart from the price hike which irritated me) concerned me this time - they wanted to charge for the secure parking (and did not have enough remotes), and the newly rennovated entrance only had...

Plain and simple, this place is strictly location. Apparently they "renovated" the building recently, which means they put some cheap modern fixtures in and painted some doors neon green. It probably looked better before, because now it just looks like IKEA vomited all over the room. All of the actual components of the room are still old breaking down. The... More

La Splendida was a cute little hotel at Mouille Point. There were bikes to borrow which were awesome to use biking up and down the beach (although this wasn’t allowed on some of the promenades, so we stuck to the roads). The restaurant downstairs was decent as well, and they served a nice Full English breakfast that was included in... More

Wow, this is probably one of the best places to stay in a budget in CPT. We went straight to the front desk and organized a room for 2ppl for R850,00 a night and we could not have expected more from the stay. The room is very spacious and comfortable, with a huge bathroom with bath and shower! We've stayed... More

At first we had difficulty finding the hotel. The GPS took us to the adress, but it's a bit confusing finding the frontdoor as there is a restaurant with another name on the same premisses. Then we didnt know where to park. But after driving around the block a couple of times, we figured it out. We had a room... More

By far one of the most awful hotel I've stayed in! Rooms are not too bad, but bathrooms are awful! Not to mention we were given a room by the elevator and we heard all the possible noises from the rest of the visitors! The food at the restaurant is bad, they can't even cook an omelet. The only plus... More
