Amazing service. Warm and inviting staff. Extremely happy.

The build is stunning with antiques, stainglass, and an assortment of fine art. I would absolutely recommend the Welgelegen House and I will definitely stay here next time I’m in Cape Town. I liked everything

The service was amazing. Felt taken care!

I loved the staff - super cheerful and friendly Room 14 is next to the back gate and can get noisy when other guest come and go .

Very attentive and helpful staff. We had a nice conversation with Memory and Prince, the welcome staff and managers of the property, as well as Thomson, the night manager. They were eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for South Africa, Cape Town and Welgelegen House. Everything was excellent. The towels perhaps could haver been a tad softer. And the name is hard to pronounce!
-
The quiet location at the base of Table Mountain and proximity to wonderful restaurants was fantastic. The staff was beyond hospitable - most notably Memory (concierge and day manager) and Sidney (night manager) - but all were so friendly and helpful. The inn is decorated so beautifully, the breakfasts were perfection and all was perfect.

It is clean & continent location. We were told Additional charges of $22.22 when we boarded the taxi. We had to come out of the car to pay. It could have been settled earlier.

Te hospitality was outstanding. Prince and Memory were lively hosts and we almost felt part of a family by the time we left. They were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good - perhaps things, especially place settings and the coffee machine, could have done with being reset/serviced more often, but the food was good - in particular the hot food cooked to order. See comments re breakfast.

From the moment we arrived we were told “welcome home” and every staff member was exceptional and couldn’t do enough to help. We were even upgraded to a larger room for two nights of our stay. The area was quiet and safe and we could easily get by car or uber to other parts of Cape Town. Amazing stay.
