Hotel was simply exceptional. Huge rooms with a great view of the ocean. Far enough from the Main Street for peace and quiet but close enough to walk to. The staff went above and beyond and truly demonstrated great hospitality. Overall a great stay, fantastic staff and a clean and comfortable hotel.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, and location

Incredibly friendly staff, spacious rooms and great location within camps bay. I was quite sick during my two night stay and the staff did everything to help and make sure I was looked after. The room itself is very clean and large. The location is a short 5 min drive to the main strip of camps bay. The breakfast was generous with fresh local ingredients. Would happily recommend this hotel for a nice stay in camps bay.

We had an exceptional experience here. The hotel was impeccably clean, which made our stay comfortable. The staff were lovely and always ready to assist with a smile, making us feel right at home. Another highlight was the ample parking available, which is a huge plus in this area. The views from the hotel were great, offering stunning vistas of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Although we didn’t get a chance to use the pool, it looked well-maintained. Overall, we highly recommend the Sovn for anyone looking to stay in Camps Bay.

Our stay started off a bit rocky with several issues like our sheets being a bit dirty and key not working. However the Sovn team was quick to address these and they even compensated us with an extra day in one of their presidential suites and comping our laundry! Overall the property lovely, all the staff were great and super helpful, and the location was excellent with a little over 10 min walk to the beach. Would recommend for anyone staying in camps bay
