Cape Standard Guest House

Staying at Cape Standard is a treat. From the moment of booking, everything is pleasant; communication is rapid and clear, our late check-in was no problem and Paddington had organised a little snack and a beer for us, which is very much needed after an eleven hour flight. The street and neighbourhood is quiet and how lovely it is to wake up in a green hideaway in the middle of Greenpoint. David, the owner, is an incredible host and extremely funny! Can't wait to return at the end of April. Happy to have found Cape Standard and I will now consider it our home whenever we're in Cape Town.

The Cape Standard is a small, four room boutique hotel tucked away on the edge of Sea Point in Cape Town. Over the years I have stayed in this hotel about 6 times on that tells you just what a special and delightful place it is. Located on a very quiet cul-de-sac with adequate safe free car parking the hotel is within a 3-minute walk of the promenade and has a delightful, informal breakfast area set around a small swimming pool. It is an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy city. Our large bedroom had a comfortable double bed, good wardrobe storage, a flat screen TV, excellent wi-fi, tea and coffee facilities, a fridge with a mini bar, a sofa and a small desk for working. The room led out onto the swimming pool area where there were sun loungers. What makes this place so special is not only the excellent quality of the accommodation and the convenient location (the wonderful open air Sea Point sea point swimming pools are about a mile away) but also the personal welcome from the owner David and his very efficient and personable manager, Tino. I have stayed at many hotels around the world on this one excels in the personal welcome and attention that you receive. It was and will remain my ‘go to’ hotel in Cape Town and I unreservedly recommend it to you.

We stayed at the Cape Standard for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer - it's a lovely place. David and Tino were so helpful at recommending places to go, and we appreciated being able to keep our luggage safely there for the day after we checked out. Breakfast was great each morning. The room was lovely, had everything we needed and was spotless. The candle was also a nice touch! Thanks, hope to come back one day.

What a little gem in a great location. We had a brilliant 4 night stay. The room was well appointed with a fabulous shower, huge bed and beautifully decorated. Paddington and Tino made our stay truly memorable and were so kind and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this guest house and will definitely stay again.

Top quality service, beautiful room and excellent breakfast We arrived on a morning flight, but were accommodated with pleasure Nicely located, we were really well looked after Lots of help and advice, especially as newbies to Africa

I would definitely recommend to stay at Cape Standard! The location is great and the hosts are sooo friendly and nice! Its a very peaceful and green place to stay. Great breakfast as well and the rooms are beautiful.
