Bliss Boutique Hotel

We had a great stay at Bliss. Prime location, a refreshing change from the typical Cape Town city center or Camps Bay. Had fantastic views of table mountain and the beach from our room and also roof top. The room and service was top. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Overall excellent

We stayed for 2 nights. Made welcome by Samuel. Nice room. We had breakfast and dinner both days and all good. We had car troubles and Vanessa called Johan who came to our rescue and charged the car battery overnight which worked. We also had WiFi problems and Samuel front of house person spent time sorting us out. There is secure parking, a nice pool, walk to the beach, and a short drive to shops. We will be back

Sadly, we were disappointed due to the heightened expectations both from an article we read stating this to be among the 10 best hotels in the Cape Town area and the reviews. There were many good points, as well as some disappointing elements, that are non-negotiable for a higher priced ‘luxury accommodation’ (as advertised on their website) for which we paid over 3700 Rand per night. Some might be minor but in conjunction with each other they start to matter. Let’s start with the good things: Pros - stunning view: across to Cape Town and table mountain, but make sure to be on the second floor towards the sea otherwise the sand dunes will be in your way - Very friendly staff on arrival as well as on breakfast duty (Kuda) - Clean, nice decor - Very comfortable bed linen and big enough shower towels Cons - Bed: I have never stayed in what they advertise on their website as a ‘luxury hotel’ in a ‘superior deluxe king’ size room where the mattress does not measure 2 m in length! This meant that both my husband’s and my feet were dangling off the end of the bed and when the bedspread pulls down on the toes this becomes extremely uncomfortable - Balcony: the balcony of room 202 is very small and can definitely not be used with two chairs - Window: the window of room 202 towards the table mountain also serves as balcony for room 201 which means as they stand on the balcony they can look inside straight onto the bed, which means no privacy - Pre-used slippers (which I doubt the guest would put back in the plastic wrapper) - The whole restaurant, bar and lounge area was smelling strongly of cooking smells, even in the afternoon when there was no one cooking in the kitchen - Lastly, having to wait for more than one hour for 2 deserts without any mention of waiting time is too much. To be aware of: - Best views, for the sunset is on the rooftop, but bring some thing because winds are extremely strong - If you take a room on ground floor to sand dunes covered the view and patio is connected to the rooms right and left - When we were there, there was only one chef in the kitchen and this made waiting times extremely long

The “classic” view of Table Mountain from our bed, every morning - what more could you ask for? However, added was an attentive, helpful staff who were always happy to help but never intrusive. An absolutely perfect base for our third week in the Cape.

Really loved my time at the Bliss Boutique Hotel. Great location and amazing views. It was what I expected and more. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and good food. Felt just like home away from home. Highly recommend

I have stayed in many hotels in Cape town and bliss remains my favorite because of the warm hospitality of the staff and the amazing view (we saw the best sunset there). Simon and Vimbai were exceptional and made us feel very welcome!! There was always a smile on their face! Pros: -Clean, modern, comfortable rooms -2mins walk to the beach -Hotel facing table mountain -5 stars hospitality -Private parking Cons None really, except for maybe better pillows, the pillows were quite flat I will always cherish my time at Bliss and hope to be back! Thanks again!!
