Exceptional

Room was spotless. Bed soooooo comfy and ALL the staff were happy and friendly. We stayed same time last year and we were remembered, even by the ladies at breakfast making eggs and the most delicious omelettes. Plus the view is outstanding . Easy enough to get into Cape Town.
The location is perfect, out of the city but still close enough to get to all the attractions by Uber. We particularly liked the feeling of being safe and able to walk along the beach.
Everything was up to speck..all areas from the room,dining room,food,bar area,staff service and of course the view. Will always love this place and would return for another few more nights,where else would you need to go!!!

Great place to stay with very friendly staff. Location was wonderful with lots to do in the area.
Room was cleaned regularly with fresh towels at request. Had a beautiful sea view from our room
I would say the decor is slightly dated but it did not make any impact to our stay it’s just an observation . Staff were very attentive , service was quick and food quality in the bar and restaurant were excellent . Bar area and outside tables very busy Friday night and weekends but that adds to it as there is a really friendly atmosphere with families and lots of people coming to eat and drink. Nice beach literally a few steps from the hotel. It’s a perfect place if you want to get away from the hustle bustle of Cape Town , not loads else nearby but 10 mins down the road there is another area with pubs and restaurants, can walk it it takes about 25 mins or an uber is a couple of pounds. Really is a lovley area
Loved our stay here. The view is absolutely stunning and the staff were so kind. The food is also very good including the breakfast. We are looking forward to returning here in the future.
The big selling point of the hotel is the view, which is incredible. Aside from that, the room was huge and very tastefully decorated, only let down by a dated bathroom, which was the only real weakness of the stay as a whole. Service and atmosphere also of a really high standard.
Nice location close to Blouberg Beach. Nice Table Mountain view even from our room and the restaurant/terraces. Very helpful staff, I would book it again anytime. Ocean view from the bed was awesome!
We had a very enjoyable family trip at the Blue Peter Hotel. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The view across to Table Mountain is outstanding and the hotel is well located for the beach and local amenities. We would definitely go back if we have the opportunity.
Great views of Table Mountain and Robbin Island! Great view of and within close walking distance to beach! Beautiful Breakfast buffet with delicious omelettes and anything else one could want for breakfast. Indoor outdoor restaurant downstairs, excellent menu, reasonably priced. Live small band last night, more formal dining room on second floor. Freindly staff. Just an all around nice friendly, clean quiet, small sized hotel!
If you looking for something right on the beach, look no further. It might be small but it's one of the best when it comes to service. It's very close to Eden on the Bay so you literally leave everything in your hotel and just walk.
The manager Janis was great. So was the hotel. The only problem was when I gave my key to the desk to go eat breakfast the day I was checking out and I told them I was coming back to go back to my room. When I came back all my stuff that was in the room was at the desk and they said we thought you were checking out. I got no I wasn’t checking out now. I got I got everything in my room down and I had the sign do not disturb. The whole thing was kind of weird to bring all my stuff down like that like I would forget it like I took off and left all my stuff in my room otherwise the hotel was great. I kind of blame the cleaning service at the hotel management.
The Blue Peter Hotel hat tolles Personal - zuvorkommend, aufmerksam, flexible. Vorbildliche Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war schön, tolles renoviertes Bad. Der Seeblick natürlich der Knaller. Es gab nichts zu bemängeln. Sehr empfehlenswert, da auch sehr gute Gastronomie mit Geselligkeit.
Das Zimmer war für das Preis Leistungsverhältnis hervorragend
Das Personal immer freundlich und höflich und hilfsbereit.
Wir werden immer gerne wiederkommen
