Pros:

We liked the pool area, except for the ongoing piped music which ruined it, we would prefer to listen to the natural sounds of the sea, there's enough noise in the area

Cons:

Service at breakfast was very slow.
the hotel overall was overly expensive

Great location but in need of a refresh
Pros:

The Marly has arguably the best location in Camps Bay and offers stunning mountain and sea views. The staff are friendly, the dining options are extensive and the food is generally high quality . The bedrooms are bright and comfortable. However, the service is hit and miss ranging from excellent to chaotic and the hotel is generally in need of.a refresh as it is starting to look rather tired.

A discreet hotel in a magical location with restaurants, bars, and shops (spa, hairdresser, food, clothing, etc.) within easy reach makes for a heavenly vacation.

Great place in Camps Bay
Pros:

We stayed at The Marly for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful, with truly outstanding service throughout our stay. Our room had a gorgeous sea view, and the location is perfect, right in the heart of Camps Bay and close to all the action. There’s also a great choice of restaurants on site and nearby. We would absolutely stay here again.

Excruciating Headache
Pros:

Staff were very friendly, helpful

Cons:

The room was not soundproof at all! It was a very noisy weekend , due to irritating drum players on the sidewalk infront of the hotel and down stairs restaurants(also very noisy). These activities continued the whole weekend( Saturday and Sunday) causing excruciating headaches . This noisy room was ridiculously expensive for the 2 nights we stayed there. I appreciate Management who tried their best to make the stay as pleasent as possible, but unfortunately we were deprived of peace, silence( sound of the sea we never heard from the room due to the drum noise and tribal dancing on the sidewalk the whole weekend) and the so needed rest .

Boutique hotel above and beyond any expectations
Pros:

This is one of my best hotel experiences to date. The rooms are beautifully art directed. Beds were very comfortable. More importantly, the service was impeccable. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They even gave us Christmas presents during our stay! I loved it here and would recommend The Marly to anyone traveling to Cape Town.
