I LOVE this Botique hotel!! I will definitely stay there the next time I’m in Cape Town.
Pros:

The Derwent House was wonderful. The staff is incredibly helpful, nice and accommodating. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you want and need. The beds were extremely comfortable and breakfast was delicious. The location is excellent for restaurants, shops and close to Table Mountain and the Botanical Garden.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Wir hatten ein sehr hübsch gestaltetes Zimmer. Der gesamte Service vom Empfang bis zur Abreise war absolut top und alle Mitarbeiter*innen mit Freude bei der Arbeit. Man fühlt sich wie bei Freunden zu Besuch. Reichhaltiges Frühstück, am Nachmittag hausgemachtes Gebäck und zum Abend Sherry auf Kosten des Hauses. Auf dem Kopfkissen dann noch eine Praline als Betthupferl. Super Wein-Angebot zu bescheidenen Preisen.

Cons:

Dazu fällt mir nichts ein

Sehr charmantes Hotel mit liebevollen Details und tollen Menschen,

Es war alles perfekt!

Fantastisch
Pros:

Personeel en locatie vh Derwent was voor ons helemaal top. Huurauto laten staan en met Uber of lopend Cape Town verkennen. Hotel ligt wel hoger in de straat dus reken op een behoorlijke klim en als je slecht ter been bent dan een uber nemen.

Cons:

De kamer was voor ons iets te klein, maar de volgende vakantie en kamer is al geboekt en dat wordt een iets grotere kamer.

Pros:

Perfect stay at the Derwent House Hotel. Great location, lovely staff and comfortable bedrooms. I can see why so many guests come back year after year. Sadly we were both ill while there so weren't able to make the most of all the facilities, however we plan to return at some point in the future.

Cons:

Nothing
