First off have to say that Alek and Daniel, the two managers, were extremely friendly and helpful with any queries. Location brilliant and view from room amazing. Really comfy beds and pillows. Best sleep in ages. Towels and bedding clean but carpet in room disgustingly filthy. Never walked on it in bare feet. Absolutely revolting. Suspect room was neither vacuumed... More

Yes, I would definitely reccommend Port View House to my family, friends, colleagues and strangers and, even better - I would go back again! The guys and staff at Port View were incredibly helpful and friendly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfasts are beat only by the ones I make... More

They were very understanding when we strolled down to breakfast at 11am having not adjusted our clock and still severed us with a smile:). Would definately go back. Just a 10 minute walk to the v & a waterfront with 2 great pubs at... More

All I can say is all positive things about our stay in Port View House. First of all, the staff arranged transport for us where we were met at the airport by a lovely gentleman who was very helpful with all the advice he could offer on our stay in Cape town. The guest house had a lovely garden and... More

We stayed here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon in South Africa. Port View is very centrally located, and just a 10 minute walk in the daytime to the V&A waterfront. The rooms were clean and simple although they could do with a lick of paint in places. The small pool and gardens are a little oasis in... More

Excellent welcome by the manager of hotel who went out of his way to help. Our room was onthe ground floor and was spacious but the bathroom could do with some modernisation and bizarrely had the window looking out over the bay. Breakfast was a small buffet bar with cooked part brought in form the kitchen. I would stay again.... More
