We stayed at Winchester Mansions for the first 4 nights of our trip through Africa. We had a 2 bedroom room that was perfect for a family of four. Location of the hotel is superb...easy access to everything in Cape Town. Putting green in the hallway outside our room was a favorite of the kids. The bar was perfect for a couple of drinks every night...just a very nice location. Also, the shuttle service to different restaurants was a nice extra. We highly recommend Winchester Mansions!

I've been staying at the Winchester Mansions in Cape Town for almost 20 years with my family and friends.

I've just returned from a 9 days visit and it's like coming back to my 2nd home. The Winchester is the most wonderful place to stay and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. From the excellent breakfast in the courtyard, geeting some rays by the pool, drinks on the balcony watching the sun set, to dining in Harveys restaurant. It's a wondeful life at the Winch and we count the days until our next visit.

We are a mature couple - we stayed at the Winchester Mansions for 3 weeks over the Christmas period. It was truly wonderful. The service levels are extremely high, the staff are caring and it made no difference that it was a busy period, they just "upped their game" and delivered under extreme pressure over the peak time. Management, reception, porters, staff in the restaurant, all the same. This caring made our holiday very memorable. We will be going again at the end of the year and have already booked. We cannot wait! The location is perfect.

We stayed for the final 5 nights of a 3 week South Africa holiday.
The hotel has recently been formed from an old apartment block, so architecturally it's style is a mix of old colonial and modern. Very tastefully done with some quite quirky features, like the putting practice green around the first floor landing. Problem was, the putter was there to use, but no golf ball!
We had a first floor suite which actually picked up the free wi-fi which is available f.o.c. to all guests throughout the ground floor, so there was no need to buy wi-fi access.
The room was spotless and very comfortable with complimentary wine and fruit on arrival, and chocolates, tea & coffee, iced water and lime juice daily.
Food at breakfast and dinner in Harvey's was exceptional and reasonably priced.
Our only grumble was that the pool wasn't as clean as we would expect.
Whilst the hotel is situated about a 400 - 500 Rand taxi ride away from the Waterfront, we were able to use the courtesy car f.o.c. a good number of times.
Right outside the hotel is the stop for the Red and Blue hop-on hop-off tourist buses - a fantastic way of seeing Cape Town, and getting to most of the major tourist attractions. Tickets can be bought from the hotel.
Management and Staff at the Winchester Mansions were fantastic. Whilst very professional and courteous, everyone seemed to be determined to make sure you enjoyed your stay and left with a smile on your face.
We'll definitely be back!
