I had high hopes for my stay at The Bay Hotel, considering its stunning location in Camps Bay. Unfortunately, a series of maintenance issues and subpar service really dragged the experience down. Although the views were beautiful and the area is lively, the lack of attentiveness from the staff and the noise from ongoing work made it hard to relax.

I had a mixed experience at The Bay Hotel. The location in Camps Bay is stunning, with amazing views and easy beach access. However, the service, particularly at breakfast, was disorganized and not at the level I expected from a luxury hotel. While my room was spacious and clean, I encountered some maintenance issues and there was a lack of attention to detail, especially regarding amenities. Overall, I enjoyed my stay but felt it fell short of true luxury standards. 🌊🏨

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Camps Bay and just a short stroll to the beach. I appreciated being close to local restaurants and bars, although some areas felt less secure due to street vendors and beggars.

I had a lovely stay at The Bay Hotel, with its superb location across from Camps Bay beach and beautiful mountain views. The rooms were clean and spacious, although some amenities fell short, like the breakfast service. While I enjoyed the diverse breakfast options, the staff often seemed inattentive. Overall, I had a great trip but wish the service matched the beautiful setting.

My room was spacious and clean with contemporary beachy décor, featuring a comfy king-size bed and a well-stocked minibar. However, the balcony cleanliness left much to be desired, and I found some details were overlooked during housekeeping.

Service

Service was a mixed bag. The staff at the bar were fantastic, especially Cameel, who made the experience enjoyable. On the flip side, breakfast service was subpar, with a few staff members ignoring requests and dirty tables often left unattended.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location was very nice, right by the beach in Camps Bay, making it perfect for exploring nearby restaurants and enjoying stunning ocean views. The hop-on-hop-off bus stop right outside was super convenient for getting around Cape Town.

Dining

The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices, but the quality was inconsistent, with stale items on a few occasions. The menu options weren't clearly communicated unless asked for, so that was a little frustrating.

Facilities

The pool area was nice, but it often felt crowded, and I wished there were more seating available during peak times. Additionally, some amenities were closed due to winter, which limited my options.
