Ideally situated on Jubilee Square in Simon's Town, within walking distance of Boulders Beach and with outstanding views over the bay, this small hotel gives the impression of smart efficiency coupled with the special little touches that made our stay in Simon's Town so wonderful. The staff were all polite and courteous and only too willing to assist. The breakfasts served in Bertha's were lovely - try the eggs benedict. Within walking distance of everything required, from restaurants, the statue of AB Just Nuisance, the museums, the tourist information office and the boats going out to Seal Island, Cape Point and shark or whale watching, it really seems to be the best place to stay in this gorgeous location. On reflection, we would have paid that little extra for the rooms on the first floor with the balconies to take full pleasure of the vista. You have to hear the story about the hotel's cat to understand fully the quaint charm of this hotel.

I stayed here during the world cup for 10 nights. It was the only hotel in my price range. My world cup game tickets were waiting for me while I checked in and had great customer service from a young man in the evening. Location was very far from the city, there was limited transportation back and forth after the train station closes. It's about a one and half hour train ride to the heart of Cape Town which could take a toll on a vacationer if traveled every day. The day crew were older ladies and didn't seem as pleasant as the night crew, I guess they didn't expect me (a young minority ) would be a paying guest in their hotel . Never the less I didn't mind their awkward stares and delayed response while asking them questions considering that they've just relinquished Apartheid not too long ago! Overall hotel was ok but very far from Cape Town itself.

This was the perfect hotel to end our journey through Africa. I was impressed with the receptionist upon arrival, she was waiting for us to arrive, greeted us by our first names and gave us information about our shark dive that was taking place the following morning. I was blown away from the beginning, it was quiet and peaceful there, even Simon's Town as a whole felt very lazy and comfortable. The rooms are immaculate, there's a descent little mini bar in the rooms and a great pub 100 yards from the hotel. The room sported one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. The view from our balcony was nice, my g/f spent the early mornings out there watching the fishing boats head out for the day's catch. Boulder's beach is within walking distance. I'm glad we chose this place as opposed to the crowded and touristy Sea Point or Camps Bay on the west side of Cape Town.

Clean hotel with no frills. It felt more liike a motel then a hotel and not the type of place you can relax in.
Breakfast was serviced at Martha's downstairs and that was very good. You could order what you liked from the menu.
Parking could have been a problem as there was only five or six allocated spaces but there was noone in the hotel so we were OK. YOu do have to pay for parking but it was very cheap. You also had a pay for Wifi.
