Nice and cozy
Staff were very nice and helpful. Location was great. I got to go to a nice restaurant because one of the staff gave me the information and had a great time there. Breakfast was great. Nice and cozy. It was just it was a bad timing since they have had a drought. I wanted to dip in the pool and it was right in front of my room, but due to the drought, they had to save the water, therefore, no pool. But over all, it was great. I am just not used to stay in the room where there was no door at the bathroom, so that was the only downside, but everybody feels differently and I believe many people don't care about that. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse and if I ever go to Cape Town again, I will book this guesthouse again.

A nice B&B close to the city
We arrived late on a Mon evening after a long flight and were met by the night guard who quickly booked us in, gave a cool drink and showed us where everything was in the room which had everything you needed. Also access to the communal area where there was tea, coffee, fruit and an honesty bar to help yourself at reasonable prices. Breakfast was continental affair, the usual cold meats, breads and a choice of freshly cooked eggs to order. All nicely presented and tasty to set you up for the day. Loads of information about restaurants and a hotel taxi available. The bed was comfy and huge. There is a pool and patio area that is unheated so cold when we where there but a pleasant place to sit. There is only parking for 4 vehicles in the yard then you have to park on the street. All in all a nice B&B and we would stay there again

Lovely little guest house
Very nice modern guest house in a great location for all the city has to offer. Our room was on the small side but was very comfortable and clean. Everything is very nicely decorated and the common spaces are welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the honest system with the drinks in the fridge. Staff was friendly and helpful in arranging taxis and offering advice on where to go, etc. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would go back next time we are in Cape Town.

Amazing location and beautiful hotel!
We stayed at Antrim Villa for 5 nights and had a lovely time - the staff were amazing and very kind, they gave us guidance on our daily activities however the best thing about this place is the home baked muffins that are available at breakfast every day! The chocolate ones are the best!

Small well run business
The owner upgraded us from standard to king room at no extra charge which was a very pleasant surprise. Good location walking distance to cafes/restaurants, the waterfront and town centre. Very close to public transport and easy to get to from the airport on the myciity bus. There is an honesty system for snacks and drinks. There is a vehicle and driver available to book outings/trips. The staff were excellent.

Style over substance
We chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews we had seen. The hotel is very stylish, and the room we stayed in was lovely. Breakfast was healthy, but there was no variation. The biggest disappointment was at check-in. The driver (who was lovely) showed us to our room, there was no other instruction or welcome. We intended to stay by the pool after a long journey. However,, we were advised no smoking, and would we smoke on the street. Then as we were leaving to explore the area, we were met by the owners mother. As we were very excited abut our trip we mentioned the trips and restaurants we had booked. She dismissed everything saying she would never send guests there. (everything we boked was excellent)We realised why when we saw that they run a travel agency and like to book all trips etc for the guests. We were pretty much left to our own devices and only saw the girls at breakfast or the driver. Joy was very nice when arranging taxis for us, but we had to search her out. For a non smoker, who likes to have everything booked for them on arrival, this place would be fine, as the location s good. However, not for us.

Lovely staff for the most part, but not great under pressure. Parking is too limited and they are sometimes overbooked. No television and little privacy in rooms. Location is so perfect, you will forgive a lot.

Wonderful base for enjoying Cape Town
The guesthouse is conveniently located for seeing the main sites of Cape Town. It is about a 20-minute walk to the Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing bus. It is also about that far to the Waterfront. And the beach is about 10 minutes from the guesthouse. The managers were very helpful in arranging airport pickup, arranging tours, and making suggestions. The kitchen staff were also very friendly. The breakfast buffet is fantastic--all you can eat with fruit, yogurt, cereal, breads, meat and cheese board, and eggs. There is also a bowl of fruit along with coffee, tea, and chocolate available for guests, which was nice after returning from a day of touring. Use the airport pick-up service, especially if arriving after dark.

Excellent value for money in relaxed guesthouse
Although not the best facilities in the world, this guesthouse was excellent value for money and we enjoyed its homely relaxed atmosphere and artisan furniture/ fittings. Breakfast basic "continental" but pleasant. Room (basement by pool) was good size and comfortable, although no aircon and no ceiling fan meant quite warm at night for us (living in Scotland we struggle with heat). Mobile fan made it bearable but ceiling one would be better. Pool area was best bit. Although in built up area effort and overlooked, effort had been made to make it private and pleasant. Location good - about 20 minutes walk to V&A area (although wouldn't want to do it at night) and there were good local restaurants and beachfront 5 minutes away.

5min walk to a lovely walk on the Seawall
This hotel is fastidiously clean and well laid out. My room was spacious however at the front which has more light at night, if you like dark, choose a room farther back. There is a lot of security including a driver available after 6pm than can take you out and pick you up later. Definitely a great place to stay at a reasonable price!

Lovely, quiet guest house with great service
Antrim Villa is a very well maintained guest house with helpful, friendly staff. The rooms are well sized and decorated, although the bathroom in my room was a little tight. Towels, toiletries and spare pillows/blankets were provided. There is a swimming pool and the guest house now has free Wi-Fi throughout although the strength of the signal varies greatly and can drop off completely out the back by the pool and room 8 where I was staying. There is a comfortable and fair sized lounge with small kitchenette where breakfast is served in the morning and is available for you to use during the rest of the day. As well as a Scandinavian breakfast buffet service, with staff on hand to assist and tidy after you, there's an honesty bar/fridge - take what you need and write it down on the sheet under your room number, then ay on departure. Joy was very helpful over email in answering questions about possible itineraries before I arrived in Cape Town, and Ingrid followed that up once I arrived by being very helpful booking the activities and trips I requested and arranging pick up from the villa and transfer to the airport. There is a security/support person on the property at night and the entrance is gated, but you are able to come and go at your leisure. There are some charming, nice touches as well about the service - I won't spoil them by telling you what they are!

what a delight
So glad we found Antrim Villa. Beautiful, clean, friendly, and helpful. Small enough to be very friendly. As guests return in the evening, we would sit around in the living room. We met such fascinating people--from Brazil, Germany, etc. Delicious breakfast including cooked eggs, yogurt, breads, cheeses, etc. A 15 min walk from the waterfront. Felt very safe walking back and forth during the day, but took short taxi ride (~$5) after dark.

Take your partner there..or even yourself!
Everything from the atmospheric and fitting light music playing around the place, to the colorful and wonderful breakfast, to the small leaf on your pillow, to the warm smiles of Ingrid and the staff. A truly homely stay, and I felt safe, warm, and like I had my own little slice of serenity to venture back to each evening. 6/5.

Good value for money
Good breakfast. Clean location, well maintained. We found that the room was a bit cold when we were coming back after a day out, the small radiator was not very effective (and that was in August). The guesthouse is situated in a residential neighborhood, you can easily reach by foot the waterfront, but we did not feel it was a safe walk once the sun is set. The guesthouse provides a taxi-service with prices comparable with external taxi companies. Warm and smiling staff, sometimes not very useful to provide advices: one person looked always ready to confirm the option we seemed to be inclined to, two others missed to tell us that after 4 days during which the table mountain was inaccessible due to weather conditions, there would have been a long line for the cable car (hours...).
