We didn’t have hot water when showering in the morning.

Great big room, comfy bed, and gorgeous balcony view of the harbour
Pros:

Room was spacious, very clean, and the little balcony had a fantastic view over the harbour. I was ecstatic that they had TV service and I could catch the Australian Open. Perfectly located for tours, restos and bars along the main road and an easy walk to the penguin beach. Quaint hotel for a quaint town.

The best place to stay to see everything that Simon's Town has to offer.
Pros:

Terrific position on the waterfront close to all attractions.. Free car parking. Excellent staff. Large rooms with air con. Great value for money. Just a one mile walk to Boulders Bay and the penguins.

Cons:

Few hotel facilities. No lift, no toilets in reception, no public area (except for four comfy chairs in reception). No catering, but restraunt (Bertha's) next door. Ideal for two or three nights and then I think you will have done everything in Simon's Town.

Pros:

Trotz Zimmer zur Strassenseite war es sehr ruhig. Wir mussten allerdings auch die Fenster geschlossen halten, da sonst Einbruchgefahr durch Affen. Das betrifft aber auch die Seeseite.
Dank Klima kein Thema.

Nettes Hotel direkt am Wasser im Zentrum von Simons Town
Pros:

Nettes kleines Hotel mit 14 Zimmern im Zentrum des charmanten Örtchens Simons Town, direkt am Wasser gelegen mit Blick auf die Marina. Zimmer groß, bequeme Betten, Bad mit großer Dusche. Das Frühstück wird im Restaurant nebenan serviert und ist gut und ausreichend. Kostenlose Parkmöglichkeiten direkt am Hotel. Sehr freundlicher Empfang.

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit im Bad hätte (noch) besser sein können und es ist schade, dass man aufgrund der umherstreunenden Affen die Fenster nur unter Beaufsichtigung öffnen kann

Perfekte Lage und angenehme Zimmer
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage direkt am Hafen

Cons:

Das Fenster im Zimmer ist recht alt und hat dadurch im wind stark geklappert und war zugig.
Der Eingang der Unterkunft war schwierig zu finden
