  Lovely little hotel in a good quiet location. It's easy walking distance to good restaurants. The rooms are cosy, the garden have a small pool but the best part is the very friendly staff.

  This will have been my eighth visit to Derwent House and it really does just get better and better! I first found Derwent House via trip advisor and chose to stay while competing in the Cape Town Cycle Tour (2010). My initial two visits were on my own and for only a day or two but liked it so much, my wife now joins me and we have a holiday there incorporating the event. Anahid & Armin took over the hotel in 2014 and have added their style & global experience to the Hotel which, as mentioned, just gets better each year. Nothing is too much trouble for their Team of friendly, attentive staff. Even providing a full selection of breakfast on Race Day for me and fellow cycling guests from 05:00 in the morning!!! Really appreciated that touch I can tell you :) On the subject of breakfast, a delicious display of fresh fruits, cold meats, cheeses, breads, cereals and that’s before the made to order hot options with a local daily special as well! Even with the water crisis, the experience was as good as ever and made absolutely no difference to our wonderful stay. The staff provided some logical steps in order to 'do our bit' and use the water conservatively. If you are not into the cycling side of things, Luca, General Manager, is on hand to advise, recommend and indeed source all sorts of activities for you to experience. I really can't recommend this little piece of paradise in such a beautiful City enough. Yes, we will be back next year! Tim & Louise

  Woderful boutique hotel in the heart of Cape Town. Chic African decor, all you need for relaxing (pool, jacuzzi, library area, bar with local wines) and above all an exceptional service that makes you feel as a guest of honnor.

  Great staff, extremely helpful and house was decorated beautifully, which made it feel like home. They had a Handy Travel smartphone that allowed you free internet, data, Uber, maps , emails, international calls, Spotify, etc. while out exploring for the day, again all for free. On our 2nd to last day the staff hosted a Braai (bbq) for the guests. It was a big hit with fabulous food, company and African performers. At the end of day when back at the house we were always greeted with a smile and asked how our day was, with the afternoon staff knowing what our plans were when we set out that morning, they really cared and always had recommendations. Would totally recommend this hotel.

  Very helpful staff, great attention to individual needs of guests. Delicious breakfasts, with both quality & a large selection to choose from. This place felt both safe & yet also very relaxed. Complimentary warm soup in the evening (we visited at the end of their winter), well positioned for exploring Capetown but quiet in the evenings. Within easy walking distance of some fine restaurants too.
