This is a lovely, quiet hotel with outstanding service. Our only issue was the lack of wifi for an evening, not a concern with so much to do in Cape Town!

Wonderful stay

Lovely stay at Banksia. The team who work here are all fantastic, super friendly and relaxed. The guesthouse itself is a beautiful old house with heaps of beautiful original features. It’s in a residential, nice part of town but only about 15-20 min drive from camps bay/v&a area. The spa is very nice, we had a great facial and massage. Thanks team banksia!

Stating at Banksia boutique hotel was a dream! We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful old villa, well appointed amenities and friendly and welcoming staff. We felt very safe and still extremely close to everything in Cape Town - it is situated at the bottom of Table mountain, in a quiet little neighbourhood. Excellent and freshly made breakfast every day gave us a great start to a week full of fun and exploring this beautiful part of the world. Thank you so much😊

Gorgeous gem in the Southern Suburbs

It is always an exceptional experience at Banksia! The building is gorgeous and all the rooms are unique. The mountain view is a CAPE Town iconic postcard. The staff is kind and accommodating both managing the property and preparing and serving the stunning breakfast. Hope i can continue to return.

Our stay

A beautiful building in a very attractive suburb of Cape Town. The property is very clean and the room is comfortable although the two large armchairs in the bedroom we used rather cramped the space and were unnecessary. The overall condition is good, but now a little tired in places. It would definitely benefit from a professional update which would really make this period property amazing.

2/10 Poor

horrible does not deserve the star rating

Stay was extremly deceictful. hotel does not deserve the rating it has Upon check in I was escourted to my room only to discover the establishment does not have any elevators or lifts, walked up 2 flights of stairs to my room and the room has no airconditioner. I advised the assistant manager and he asked me to walk back down and wait for him to find me a room with an airconditioner he than made me walk back up the stairs to another room where the bathroom was horrific, the taps were loose and the shower door did not close, it was both a sunken shower and sunken bath which could easily pass for 2 star. the room door was a funny key and did not even lock properly the floors were wooden so you could hear when other ppl were moving around the pool was green not swimmable and jacuzzi empty If i were informed of this would have never booked this When I did mention the star rating to the asistant manager I was told it is a boutique hotel and not normal hotel

日本から滞在しましたが、スタッフの方の素晴らしい対応と温かさに感謝しています。食べるところがないためウォーターフロントにいくかウーバーイーツ「あまりおいしくなかった」を頼むべきかと思います。周りにはなにもないため、観光を楽しんでウーバーで戻ってください。夜中は鍵をかけられてしまうので、何か必要なものは全て購入してからホテルに行くことをお勧めします。とても治安が良く、素晴らしいホテルでした！

Nydelig hotell, med hyggelig personale.

Vi hadde et kjempefint opphold på Banksia. Personalet er veldig hyggeliog hotellet er nydelig. Det er lett å komme i kontakt med personalet på forhånd. Det eneste negative jeg har å si er at sjåføren ikke hentet oss på flyplassen som avtalt. Hotellet fikk flydetaljene, men hadde ikke sjekket når flyet faktisk landet. Sjåføren hadde derfor møtt opp for tidlig på flyplassen og reist igjen uten at vi fikk beskjed.
