Beautiful and comfortable property in a great location. All staff are really friendly and helpful, from helping us book tickets to Robben Island to looking after us when my partner got sick. You can walk down the road and there are shops & restaurants right on the doorstep without having to go the waterfront. Felt like a safe area and staff always onsite.

Nothing - only thing to note is it’s an old building so you do hear breakfast noise/people walking but this didn’t bother us (could always ask for a pool room rather than in the main house is this is something that would bother you).

The hotel has a nice swimming pool and rooms are nicely modeled. The building complex has a lot of history, and the hosts share a lot of this in books and pictures. The Eggs Benedict were a highlight. The hotel also offered free Cape wine in the evening. Parking in front was no problem; in theory the garage also is available (was full when we arrived and we just kept the car outside). Location is good: Walking distance 10' to Goodman Gallery, <30' to CBD and Waterfront, 5' uphill to a trail on Signal Hill through the fynbos (and onwards to Liion's Head if you're up for it). In Capetown, you hike in groups for security reasons.

Bedside lamps only switchable jointly.

The staff at the Cape Diem were the best ever. From the night porter that welcomed us with a welcome drink and helped get us settled, to the day managers Bianca and Melina that were so attentive and made our stay special. They helped with booking drivers to take us to the Cape of Good Hope, explore the wine country to dealing with a troublesome credit card which had expired. They were incredible hosts and we would stay there if staying in Cape Town again. The breakfasts were made to order, tasty and filling, Wonderful, beautiful;, comfortable boutique hotel that met all of our needs. It was also easily walkable to the Victoria and Alford center with great restaurants and attractions. PERFECT in every way. One of our best stays anywhere

Everything was fantastic: the location, the wonderful facilities, cleanliness and appearance of the room, the pool, and most importantly, the extremely kind staff. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was also very good! There's also a free sundown drink from 4-6pm poolside.

The only thing that could possibly be improved was the availability of bottled water in the room: we'd usually get a complimentary 1L daily in other hotels, but here we only got one bottle upon check-in. You could purchase some from staff though.

Loved the historical feel of the building (creaky floors included!). The staff were all amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble. Also a lovely, relaxed area to have breakfast every morning😊.

Thought room fit out was really nicely done. If I had to pick something small it would be adding a little shelf in shower area for personal products and maybe an extra hook or 2 for hand towels and robes. Overall, it was really well thought out though!

The team here are excellent Bianca, Samuel, Bob and the ladies and gentlemen at breakfast and during the evening. It’s like a home and there is a nice relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast is good with cold and cooked options (or both). There is good communal space inside and outside to relax. The location is near the v and a a little uphill about 15 min walk, i think it’s best to Uber most places as it’s cheap and you won’t be waiting more than 2 mins for a taxi. The ideal location to do some day trips from and explore different parts of Cape Town as a base. They offer a glass or wine or drink early afternoon which is a nice touch before heading out for the evening. I would recommend to others.

Breakfast's were excellent with plenty of choice and freshly cooked food to order. Lovely coffee! The complimentary Sundowner was also a very nice touch. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them which made our stay very comfortable. Daniel & Bianca have an excellent team who looked after us well. We stayed 4 nights initially and then returned for a further 2 nights after travelling further afield and they were happy to store some luggage that we didn't need to take with us. We also took advantage of the Airport transfer arranged by the lodge which worked perfectly.

We were more than happy with all aspects of the accommodation

Absolutely loved our time at Cape Diem Lodge. We arrived late on a Sunday and everything from the communication beforehand letting us know the checking in arrangements, to the warm welcome and the extremely comfortable bed was excellent. Our initial stay was short as we were picked up for a safari the next morning but upon returning to the lodge, we were greeted just as warmly and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our stay. The location is excellent - close enough to really good bars and restaurants, as well as the V&A Waterfront, but you can still enjoy a tranquil and relaxing time sitting by the pool with a drink, forgetting that you're that close to the hustle and bustle. Breakfast was a definite highlight (the eggs benedict was a particular favourite) and all the staff were so friendly and happy to help with any advice needed. This was our first time in Cape Town and we'll definitely be back, and most certainly will be staying at Cape Diem Lodge when we return.

The manager and staff could not have been more helpful. We split our stay and had two different rooms each of which was very spacious and comfortable. Even though it was winter we particularly enjoyed our breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the pool.

The only possible criticism is that our second room was next to the front door and sometimes we could hear staff arriving or other guests leaving early. But this was inevitable given the style of property, and we didn't mind because the advantages more than outweighed the slight inconvenience.

This hotel is stunning. The decor is beautiful, everything is so well thought out. Breakfast was delicious in a gorgeous setting overlooking the pool. The pool is great and a decent size with lots of space to chill. They also offer complimentary wine after 3.30 each day which is a lovely touch. What really sets this place apart is the staff. Bob the night manager is so friendly and attentive and all the staff we met and spoke to were so welcoming and friendly. The location is good and easy to get to the Waterfront.
