Excellent stay! Me and my wife stayed for 5 nights and It was a lovely stay. The facilities were excellent and the room was super clean. The breakfast was fantastic every morning and Tino and the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. There was nothing that was too much hassle and they went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent stay. We would definitely recommend staying. The location is perfect to get to the beaches and waterfront. We will be looking to go back here when we re-visit south Africa

Excellent location, walking distance from the beaches, the promenade, the WF and SeaPoint. PERFECT! Helpful, flexible and kind staff members, with a special thanks to Tino, the maestro. Big thank you to Gift who is making all the efforts to make your breakfast an enjoyable moment. Good breakfast that you can enjoy in the garden. Cute garden with swimming pool. All amenities in the room/bathroom. Bed was super comfortable and the room has airco. Safety place with security door but the neighbourhood is safe.

Internet a bit moody but you can ask your host to restart it and then ... it works better. It would be nice to have a plug in the bathroom and an additional one in the room (but it is a detail!)

Cape Standard guest house is a lovely property. The room had cooking facilites, which we did not use, was equiped with all the essentials. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of hanging and storage space. The bathroom was good with a big walk in shower. The outside had a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. We had a marvelous breakfast, eaten outside, with cold and cooked options. Tino and his team were fantastic and were on hand at all times and they really made you feel welcome.

Meals were eaten outside and to access the area you had to go out of your bedroom and down stairs, which were not covered. Great when its sunny, not so good when it rains. Lack of restaurants nearby so car or taxi required.

We really liked the staff at the guest house who could not have been more helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed, informal and professional. The room had a full kitchen, with french windows onto a covered terrace overlooking a lovely pool and breakfast area. We had a full cooked breakfast which was excellent. The quiet central location is excellent in terms of distance by uber from the harbour, and beaches.

It would have been nice to be able to order a small snack and tea from the guest house in the afternoon after a day of sightseeing..

The host is really nice. He helped us with all our questions regarding the city, gave us nice restaurant recommendations and even reserved a table at the restaurants for us. He prepared a lovely breakfast for us in a cosy private room. The room itself is modern and clean. Additionally, we had to leave on a guided tour early in the morning, and breakfast was prepared for us. They left it in the fridge which was perfect to eat it at a time that was convenient to us.

I have a single remark and that is that the walls were a bit thin between our room and the room next to ours. We could perfectly hear the conversations of the guests next door.

The amazing staff makes you feel at home right away. We received a lot of recommendations from Tino, who is the most amazing and friendly host!! We had some amazing chats with David, the owner of the guest house as well! The room itself is big and has everything you need, including a large and comfortable bed. The location is central and safe. We loved the breakfast!

A small improvement could be made in making the room just a little darker for the nights, but everything else was absolutely perfect!!

It's a true oasis in the middle of Capetown, close to everything, yet quiet and relaxed in a safe neighborhood. There are only 4 rooms so it feels very cozy and private. Rooms are nice with a comfy bed and great shower. Also the terraces and pool is a plus.. Every morning there is this lovely fresh breakfast with a lot of choises. But most importantly; the staff. David & Tino make this place an 11 out of 10. And make you feel at home. Every morning we had a chat about what to do, what to see, where to eat and other things. Thank you guys for making our stay so memorable. We are coming back for sure and highly recommend it!!

A little oasis in a safe and quiet area of Cape Town. Good location for city sites and restaurants with secure car parking. The four rooms are generously sized and well appointed with a shared but intimate outside space. Staff were outstanding and Tino and his team were very knowledgable and personable

Tino is an incredible host. We felt very well looked after, it truly is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. Our room had a large leafy veranda perfect for reading on, the breakfast was exceptional (our server Gift was very attentive) and the pool was an added bonus after a day spent trekking around Cape Town. I would not hesitate to stay here again
