Winchester Mansions - What a superb property, from the moment you pull up outside and welcomed by the reception staff - the whole outside world disappears ! Everyone is friendly, helpful and courteous and nothing is too much trouble. An ideal situation across the road from the beach and a lovely 40-45 minute stroll along Beach Road to the V... More

We stayed at the Winchester Mansions Hotel for 4 nights at the beginning of our 3 week holiday to South Africa. The hotel is in a great location across the road from the beach. We loved everything about the hotel especially the courtyard in the middle of the building. Our room was very spacious, extremely well furnished and comfortable. Food... More

We had a fabulous time in Cape Town and highly recommend staying here. It's a great location and the complimentary shuttle service is really useful. Nice rooms (although the bathroom door is a bit see-through), comfy bed, great brunch/ breakfast. The staff were wonderful and always had good suggestions for us.

We stayed at the Winchester Mansions from 12th until 19th March 2012. From the beginning (pick up from the airport) until the end of the stay at Winchester Mansions - we really enjoyed every second. The hotel is right situated opposite the beach, you can go there for a nice walk and enjoy the nice see view. The Winchester Mansions... More

After six months, we are still traumatized by the treatment from management. Having booked, planned, taking the trouble to visit the place before a birthday celebration for 20 people, we found the place we had arranged had been changed at their discretion to an open area, on a rainy day, without an alternative. Leaving guests to scurry with plates in... More

It is with disappointment that I read your much delayed review on Tripadvisor. Sadly it is unfair, factually incorrect and contains an unnecessary personal attack on me. You rate our rooms and sleep quality, yet you did not stay!? I was under the impression that we dealt with the matter and moved on. I apologised as there was indeed ground... More

We stayed at the Mansions for a week, and were very impressed with the building and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We had Jazz sunday brunch in the beautiful courtyard, and on weekday evenings the front balcony of the bar gets really busy with people meeting up either on their way home or on their way out -...

Stayed four nights for work, it was a pleasure to wake up on the sea front, in such a pleasant building, the courtyard was a beauty, and the resuarant serves excellent food. the bar is lively in the evenings, people are friendly, and you can just sip a beer on the terrace and watch the flow of people.

My wife, I and her folk spent a week at Winchester Mansion in March this year. It is not the cheapest place in Cape Town to stay but it is a lovely building, well appointed and in a very convenient location. Sadly the transport from the airport to the hotel we had booked and paid for with the Hotel in... More
