What a place! From the moment we pulled up the drive, we were charmed by this city centre oasis. The building and grounds speak for themselves, and are immaculately kept. Such a warm welcome from Busi and the reception team, felt at home right away. The room was fantastically appointed and just out of this world comfortable on all fronts. Housekeeping team were amazing with so many thoughtful touches everyday. We had dinner in the hotel at both the Chef's Table and Verandah, and loved them both. Such different experiences and neither should be missed. The team at the Verandah, like the others, were just amazing. We apologies for missing anyone, but thank you in particular to Thabisa, Nkanyiso, and Mandu - made our night with old friends so special! The Chef's Table is something truly special and is a must for anyone staying at the Nellie. Chef Issac and Sommelier Laz were such incredible personalities that showcased the Cape in the best possible way. A really clever setting that gives you all the feels of a restaurant but in the heart of the hotel's kitchen. The Planet Bar is an elegant and hugely comfortable space, but yet again, the people make it shine! The whole team here were full of such enthusiasm and warmth, just the embodiment of hospitality - thank you! Particular thanks to Benson and Sim - feel like we left with new friends. We would also be totally remiss not to thank Muchi and his team, including Kimberley at the concierge. They were so slick at orchestrating our trip - can thank you enough! All in all, we cannot praised this hotel enough. The physical parts of the hotel are stunning, but the soul of this place is brought by its people. Thank you Team Nellie!
Location excellent. Breakfast and service very good. Clean room. We stayed here one night and the only issue was room location. We backed up to the pool area and it was a bit noisy at times. Aside from that a great value with the waterfront as a neighbor.
Coming to South Africa for the first time it comforted me to stay in a familiar name hotel. We utilized the airport shuttle. A trainee accompanied our driver. There was a mix up with the number of people so there was not enough room in the car for all. So the trainee stayed at the airport (to be picked up later) while the driver took us to the hotel. So sacrificial and nice! We enjoyed the hotel decor and the relaxed atmosphere the couches offered in the restaurant. We stayed in a suite which was amazing. The staff was very friendly and willing to help with anything.
We stayed for 3 nights when visiting Cape Town. Hotel and rooms very well presented and clean. A breakfast is available with excellent selection of cold buffet or cooked options. Nice location in Seapoint with coastal walk close by. Numerous restaurants within 5/10 mins. walk. ( Probably reason hotel does not operate a restaurant). Reception staff vey helpful in arranging Uber etc. transport to Cape Town and other local destinations all at very reasonable cost.
ผผู้เข้าพักI've stayed there a few nights, and return again & again; even contemplating a long stay. The place is clean; the communal kitchen & lounge area is inviting, the in-house pub & adjoining balcony is cosy and gives the feel of a private party, above the bustle of Long Street below. Communal bathrooms are OK, kept clean. I love the many nooks & turns & corners of the old house and the creaking wooden floors. But the guests are what make the place feel like a home away from home -- an eclectic mix of local & foreign visitors passing through the city. There's a feeling & atmosphere of being in a backpackers in a foreign city, somewhere abroad, making one feel as if one is on holiday, somewhere away from home. I love this place! It's become my accommodation of first choice, for a party night or two in the city.

RRobsThe apartment is spacious, clean and luxurious. Lovvvvvve the bathrooms. I had a very relaxing stay at the Residences at Crystal Hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was refreshing and had a wide selection of foods. The location is convenient, close to Canal Walk which we walked to often to buy whatever we needed to make our stay more enjoyable and visiting Hillsong Church opposite the road was an amazing experience.
