Excellent, Safe Location for Exploring the Cape Peninsula
Pros:

Simon's Town Quayside Hotel was an excellent choice for our stay. The location felt very safe and offered a great balance between being away from the crowds of Cape Town and having convenient access to the area's main attractions. It was an ideal base for exploring the Cape Peninsula, including the Cape of Good Hope, Table Mountain and Lion's Head, as well as the many beautiful spots nearby. Overall, we really enjoyed the location and felt comfortable and safe throughout our stay.

Cons:

The only real inconvenience was the breakfast schedule, which was too restrictive for our plans. On two occasions, we had to skip breakfast altogether to make the most of our sightseeing days. A more flexible breakfast time would have made the experience even better.

Très bel hôtel plein de charme, dans un joli bâtiment typique de Simon’s Town, au bord de l’eau et à proximité du port. Chambre très spacieuse, propre et joliment décorée. Parking gratuit disponible sur place. Séjour très agréable !

Great location
Pros:

What a lovely hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Simons Town is a great place to stay with lots of eating places close to the hotel. The best thing is the close proximity to Boulders beach where you can see the penguins.

Cons:

Nothing

Enjoyed our stay. Simple, comfortable, clean.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable hotel. Updated bathroom. View of the water/pier. Breakfast staff were nice.

Cons:

Could not open our hotel windows because of baboon risk - which is common in that area - but we didn't realize this when booking.

A wonderful good value for money location in picturesque Simon’s Town. Friendly and accommodating staff - highly recomme
Pros:

Location
Was amazing. Right on the Harbor and the view from our Oceanside rooms were fantastic!

Cons:

We did have a scary incident with 2 baboons on our room with us - but we’re ok and the reception took care of them promptly. Our shuttle driver was not reliable and we nearly missed our flight to Durban. They should use someone else.

Hotel excelente com péssimos atendentes no restaurante do café da manhã.
Pros:

Localização excelente! hotel confortável.

Cons:

O Café da manhã foi uma péssima experiência. Uma atendente extremamente mal educada e grossa nos atendeu. Não nos ofereceu as opções possíveis no início do café, aguardou estarmos quase acabando para entregar o menu. O cefé não tinha as opções básicas no início. Péssimo atendimento, fomos uma vez para não voltar mais para o café da manhã.
