Such a very cute and well maintained hidden gem directly at Boulders beach. The vibes are just the relaxing, easy going beach vibes you wish for. In the evening you See penguins walking across the parking. You have sea view from the café which offers delicious little snacks, coffee and softdrinks during the day (closes at 5pm). In less than 2 minutes you are at the Boulders beach entrance, so you can easliy enjoy an early morning swim (possibly with penguins) or an early evening swim before the day ends. I would highly recommend to stay a couple of nights there and Just enjoy the amazing atmosphere and nature.

Two very minor remarks, the rooms dont have aircon, so it can be quite warm during the night. And the other small point, as I didnt have a car, I couldnt really reach any Restaurants nearby (closest was the Seaforth restaurant ca 800 Meter away).

-The location of this hotel is unmatched. The entrance to the popular Boulders beach is from its parking lot. If African penguins are the reason for your visit then there can be no better place to stay. We did not get affected by any penguin stink that is popularly spoken about - we didn't smell anything other than the usual ocean smell. -We were welcomed warmly by the host and were shown around the property/room. -The room (Standard Twin Room with Courtyard View) was good enough for our stay duration - ie.. 1 night. For a longer stay, perhaps a bigger room would be better. -Interiors do require some upgrades like better windows and blinds, but nothing too harmful. -The bathroom was very spacious and neat which was a comfort, basic toiletries were provided. -A fridge with a milk bottle and tea station was provided in the room, which was great. -A standing fan was provided, but no AC. It was the first week of November but felt okay. -We did not take any meals in the hotel, but the exterior sitting area looks very inviting. -The curio shop is well-equipped -We did an extremely early checkout which was easy (informed the front desk during check-in) -Wifi was good

-Need more plug points. Not enough for a camera and phone and laptop and fan altogether, felt very crippled. -Security felt less compared to surrounding hotels. -Late in the night heard a loud brawl ( assuming drunken, we did not understand the language ) right outside our door with someone banging our door ferociously. We did not open obviously, but the incident was scary.

- Amazing Location (quick stroll to Boulders Beach & walkway), the most exquisite views - Phenomenal, professional, friendly staff (we were really impressed - great teamwork, seamless handover from one shift to the next) - spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean rooms (we extended our stay and were fortunate to be able to experience 2 different rooms). Rooms are true to photographs advertised - which was refreshing. - great coffee bar & curio shop on site (TIP: sadly, it closes at 5pm) - Excellent wi-fi - great value

We were very sorry that we had to leave (heh heh)

I did not have time to enjoy the breakfast in the hotel, but it all satisfied me that once I checked in at the reception, was told that time for breakfast is serving from 8:00 to 11:00, this is more than I had expected and customer-friendly.

No nothing I did not like, everything in the hotel is perfect, all rooms were well sorted-out for me and my friends and our family-members, all keys were well arranged in our rooms and all service details were eco-friendly and the point is, the hotel offers guests the best sea-view.

The hotel is right at the entrance of Boulders Beach, where you can also see the Penguins. The room was neat and had all the necessary facilities. The staff was kind and available. Very quiet place with a beautiful veranda. There is a big public parking space right in front of the hotel.

Unfortunately the restaurant was not open (probably because it was still early holiday season) and we needed to take the car to reach some restaurants in town. At least the café/curio shop was open in the morning.

We loved this place, it was a very open place, rooms are open until people checked in, it offered everything we needed. Fridge and Kettle in the room. Nice balcony in front of the room with a beautiful view. You can sit on the Terrasse at any time and enjoy the view over False Bay, with a very relaxing music and get some drinks and snacks from the shop downstairs. perfect place to enjoy Boldersbeach very early in the morning or late in the evening when most other people are gone.

quite simple locks, no safe, no TV, no Coffeemashine - we didn‘t need it - just to know

We had penguin neighbours. Such a unique experience. Enjoyed the stay. Close to the penguin conservation areas. Lovely rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Neat and tidy. We got up early and saw a couple of penguins trotting past to the beach. They are so cute and it was awesome being so close without feeling like we were intruding into their territory.

No TV. But we knew that when booking the place. Luckily the wifi is free and fast. And penguins......;-)

We only had one night at The Boulders Beach Hotel but it was a great night at that. The staff were all super friendly and very helpful they were very clear in communication and were happy to answer any questions. Our room was very clean and comfortable and it had a good light to use during load shedding power outages. The added bonus was that we got to see the adorable penguins walk by our front window and even got close to one as we made our way to our car. If you are looking for a cute little stay while in Simon's Town, I can gladly recommend Boulders Beach Hotel.

This place is amazing. The Penguins are literally around the corner and you can observe wildlife and overlook the ocean on the breakfast terrace. The rooms are spotless clean, stylish and the beds are incredibly comfortable with. I loved it and enjoyed every second of it.

There is no restaurant nearby that serves food in the evenings. Uber or walking will bring you into town for dinner though.

Everything! Location was great, walking distance to boulders beach & seaforth restaurant. Self catering had everything we needed and more! Staff were amazing & always helpful. Nice cafe to have some breakfast or lunch at the hotel. Peaceful stay with my little family 🏝️🐧🐚😃

Nothing. It was just perfect
