10/10 Exceptional

recently had the pleasure of staying at The Clarendon hotel, and I can confidently say that it was a truly exceptional experience. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the hotel's friendly staff, who went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and were always ready to help with anything I needed. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and attractions nearby. The spacious rooms with stunning views were also a major highlight of my stay. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was another standout feature of the hotel, with a delicious spread of options to choose from that left me feeling satisfied and energized for the day ahead. Additionally, the hotel's location in a safe and convenient area was ideal for exploring the city, and I felt secure and comfortable throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend The Clarendon hotel for anyone looking for exceptional service and amenities, especially for those seeking a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff truly made my stay memorable, and I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality.

Lovely hotel in a great location

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. Near to the sea-front, restaurants and the excellent Mojo food hall and market and other shops. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and the hotel is well-maintained. We stayed there for 2 nights at the end of our Garden Route trip and it was a very relaxing way to end our holiday. They also arranged transfers to and from the airport for us which worked well.

Last night in Cape Town

Our flight was 18 hours delayed so we stayed an extra night in Fresnaye after leaving our villa nearby. The area is lovely one of the best in Cape Town. We had a car and were in easy reach of camps bay, sea point and the V&A waterfront. The staff at the Clarendon were excellent, very friendly, and the hotel is good value being well-equipped for the price. Vibe is middle aged couples (>40) Breakfast was good although maybe too many sweet options!! The only downside was the noise. Our room was more expensive than the standard and we were directly above reception, which meant we were woken up at 12.30 by late guests and 5.30 by kitchen staff :-( I’d say if you value sleep avoid Room 7! The staff were really nice when we complained and did try to make it up to us.

Ok hotel with ok views

The breakfast was adequate, I sat outside to eat and enjoyed the views of Loins Head Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant staff were excellent! The service they provided was exceptional. The set up of this hotel is like a Bed and Breakfast here in the States.

Beauty in the Avenues

Overall, a superb hotel! The first room, a superior room, ended up not having any hot water, the following morning, an unpredictable failure of the hot water tank. The management, more than made up for it, by moving us to a stunning suite and with a bottle of champagne as a gift. The staff, food and service... all excellent!

Relaxing atmosphere and caring staff

Emmy, Nicki and staff provided my mother and I a wonderful 5-day stay. We were well taken care of and they even arranged for a room swap when the stairs became to much for my mother. We experienced the perfect blend of comfort, relaxing atmosphere and helpful/knowledgeable staff. All in all a great find.

Ausgezeichnter Service

Die Staffmitarbeiter des Hotel Clarendon sind besonders zuvorkommend und nett-insbesonders Mrs.Emma ist wirklich eine Ausnahmeerscheinung und berät Ihre Gäste in jeder Hinsicht. Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und reichhaltig und auf der gemütlichen Terrasse ein idealer Start in einen Urlaubstag. Auch Garten und Pool sind besonders schön angelegt. Einziges Manko ist das Fehlen schalldichter Fenster in den Zimmern die zur Strasse gelegen sind.
