Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ocean View House is praised for its spacious and elegantly decorated rooms, some boasting large balconies with breathtaking ocean views. Guests frequently enjoy the excellent breakfast selection and find the location convenient, with Camps Bay's restaurants and bars just a 10-minute walk away and a short drive to both Camp Bay and the V&A Waterfront. While most find the gardens peaceful, a few guests have noted that some pathways to the rooms could appear a bit untidy. The hotel is also appreciated for its proximity to key locations, like a 20-minute drive to the airport.

i was a bit disappointed with the upkeep. housekeeping was irregular and they did not change towels. the room had an unpleasant smell, it seemed some dampness was present. also, the sliding door to the balcony was difficult to operate, needing some repair.
