Cape Standard guest house is a lovely property. The room had cooking facilites, which we did not use, was equiped with all the essentials. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of hanging and storage space. The bathroom was good with a big walk in shower. The outside had a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. We had a marvelous breakfast, eaten outside, with cold and cooked options. Tino and his team were fantastic and were on hand at all times and they really made you feel welcome.

Meals were eaten outside and to access the area you had to go out of your bedroom and down stairs, which were not covered. Great when its sunny, not so good when it rains. Lack of restaurants nearby so car or taxi required.

The host is really nice. He helped us with all our questions regarding the city, gave us nice restaurant recommendations and even reserved a table at the restaurants for us. He prepared a lovely breakfast for us in a cosy private room. The room itself is modern and clean. Additionally, we had to leave on a guided tour early in the morning, and breakfast was prepared for us. They left it in the fridge which was perfect to eat it at a time that was convenient to us.

I have a single remark and that is that the walls were a bit thin between our room and the room next to ours. We could perfectly hear the conversations of the guests next door.

The amazing staff makes you feel at home right away. We received a lot of recommendations from Tino, who is the most amazing and friendly host!! We had some amazing chats with David, the owner of the guest house as well! The room itself is big and has everything you need, including a large and comfortable bed. The location is central and safe. We loved the breakfast!

A small improvement could be made in making the room just a little darker for the nights, but everything else was absolutely perfect!!

It's a true oasis in the middle of Capetown, close to everything, yet quiet and relaxed in a safe neighborhood. There are only 4 rooms so it feels very cozy and private. Rooms are nice with a comfy bed and great shower. Also the terraces and pool is a plus.. Every morning there is this lovely fresh breakfast with a lot of choises. But most importantly; the staff. David & Tino make this place an 11 out of 10. And make you feel at home. Every morning we had a chat about what to do, what to see, where to eat and other things. Thank you guys for making our stay so memorable. We are coming back for sure and highly recommend it!!

We had a lovely stay at Cape Standard. Both Tino and Paddington were so helpful and always had a smile on their face. They went out of their way to help when our suitcases didn’t arrive with us and also suggested and made dinner reservations for us. The property was really peaceful, a lovely place to arrive after a long journey and rooms nice and comfy. You could walk to the waterfront (about 20 mins, only in day time) but it was also very easy and affordable to get Uber, which we did every evening we went out. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
