Pros:

Все идеально! Персонал ко всем просьбам относился с пониманием и заботой! Чистые номера! Шикарный вид с территории бассейна! Не пугайтесь, когда пишут, что вход через торговый цент. На такси через паковку заехали ко входу отеля. Тут же вышли нас встречать! Подготовили номер по-раньше. Торговый центр очень милый, там немного магазинов, но можно купить разные мелочи. При отеле 5 ресторанов, везде вкусно!

Absolute perfection x
Pros:

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so at home with the friendly staff and welcome drinks. Our room (2) was just lovely with a large balcony and sunloungers overlooking the ocean. The Marley is centrally located in Camps Bay with lots of restaurants just steps away, and the roof top bar is a must for sunset drinks.
I didnt think the level of service could've improved but when my husband became rather poorly and had to stay in hospital for few days the staff went out of their way to make sure I was really well looked after and if the staff are reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for looking after me so well, we will definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing.

Ocean Views, Outstanding Service & a Perfect Rooftop Escape
Pros:

Had a fantastic stay at The Marly. The staff and service were incredibly attentive and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are spacious and spotless, with an amazing view over the ocean. The rooftop terrace with pool and bar is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunset. Highly recommended.

Beautiful boutique hotel located in Camps Bay overlooking the sea and surrounded by mountains
Pros:

A beautiful and stylish hotel located right by the sea in stunning Camps Bay. The rooms are all beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury 5 star hotel. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are big and the staff warm and welcoming. They all work hard to make sure that your stay is perfect. Couldn’t ask for anywhere better to stay while in Cape Town.

The jewel in Camps Bay
Pros:

The Marley is then jewel in Camps bay, being the most incredible hotel in the most incredible location at the heart of the vibes but elevated enough above to become a haven to retire to. The staff are probably the most warm and helpful people we have ever come across

The perfect stay in Camps Bay
Pros:

Our first trip to Cape Town and The MARLY was the perfect home away from home. The management here is clearly on top of its game because the whole team operate in perfect alignment. We had a Mountain View room which was very peaceful. Breakfasts at the Bilbao Cafe were delicious - the most perfect poached eggs. The spa services were sublime. I had a QMS facial of 90 minutes. I’ve had these in Germany and Switzerland but the quality of the aesthetician, Nosi, was head and shoulders above all others. She was fully attentive for each of those 90 minutes. Even their little boutique was beautifully curated. You just cannot go wrong with this place!

Can’t wait to return !!
Pros:

Having just left the Marley after 3 incredible nights I feel that I have to write a few words!
This hotel was wonderful… Mark and his team go out of their way to help and assist you in whatever ways they can. Even sending me a ginger & herb tea when I wasn’t feeling well! It was immaculate and had a luxurious and chic feel about it. Not to mention wonderful towels and extremely high thread count bedding!
All the restaurants attached to the hotel are all superb! and my treatment in the spa was fabulous.
It is so well located in Camps Bay and within easy walking to everything.
From the minute we arrived to the minute we left they exceeded our expectations!
Thank you Mark and your team we WILL be back!

Very nice hotel but too noisy
Pros:

A very charming hotel with really good service. Our rooms were nice. But we cannot recommend the hotel due to very dominant noise by youngsters playing local music and dance for about 12 hours every single day (They have permission to perform right in front of the hotel.. The noise came through into to the rooms and the pool area. This is the reason we will sbsolutely not return or recommend the hotel. So unfair given the numerous positive sides of the hotel.

Excellent Service
Pros:

What an amazing stay! The Marly manages to be right in the middle of the action while still feeling like a private retreat. We loved the variety of restaurants linked to the hotel (the breakfast at la Belle was a highlight). The rooftop pool, Baptiste, has 360-degree views of the Twelve Apostles and the ocean that are just breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Fab staff, fab rooms. fab location
Pros:

Fab staff, fab rooms. fab location. Location is spectacular with the sunsets and the mountains. Right in the heart of buzzy Camps Bay. Five restaurants. Only downside is that the pool does not have any steps so fine if you are fully mobile, but not if you are not.
