Edwin
The rooms are neat with balconies overlooking the seaside, and the location is magnificent in Peguin's Palace. Glad to have a laptop-size safe, a fireplace and central heating. The atmosphere of the hotel is chic. It offers very good services.

my recent stay at the guest house in Simon's Town was absolutely incredible. From the breathtaking view to the stunning honeymoon suite, everything exceeded my expectations. The warm croissants, fruit salad, and omelettes for breakfast were delicious. The hosts, Innocent and Gift, were amazing and tended to every request with a smile. I can't wait to go back for a longer romantic getaway.
The distance from Simon's Town center. A car or Uber is needed to get around.

Convenient Location 🏖️
This place has a great location that's super close to Boulders Bay. It's just a quick stroll away from the Quarterdeck, where I enjoyed spending my evening.

The location is beautiful, right by many attractions like the Southern coastline and the cape of good hope, making it a perfect experience with helpful staff.

The hotel is located in a great residential area close to many attractions and right by the ocean. the rooms are cozy, clean, and equipped with semi-self catering facilities. the friendly staff takes care of every need, including a lovely table set for breakfast with a good, Nespresso coffee. the view from the rooms and breakfast area is breathtaking, with stunning Southern coastline views and Naval Harbour. There's good attention to detail, such as long-lasting Knob and tasteful decoration.
The staff was helpful in arranging for a cork screw, but one knob on the cupboard door in the room kept coming off.

Had a really nice stay for one night, and will definitely return. Excellent oceanfront location. - the hotel is adjacent to Cape of Good Hope, with stunning views of the bay and mountains. - Ate at the Quarterdeck, which is within walking distance from the venue.

During my xmas stay, I had an enjoyable experience at this hotel. the free table setting and Nespresso machine in my room were a pleasant surprise. the hotel's location was perfect, offering stunning views of the harbor and coastline. the staff were friendly and responsive to any requests.
It wasn't a big deal, but it could have been a bother for someone who needs to use the wardrobe frequently.

the location is perfect - nestled in a beautiful residential area with breathtaking views of the sea. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the balconies overlooking the seaside are a true highlight. Secondly, the attention to detail is impeccable. The staff, just like in the reviews, were extremely helpful, friendly, and detail-oriented. Lastly, I must mention the delicious breakfast. Freshly prepared and served with care, it was the perfect way to start the day.
There really wasn't anything I could fault about this hotel - everything was superb.

Our stay at Penguin Palace was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration special, even surprising us with a complimentary bottle of bubbly. The Honeymoon suite was everything we had hoped for, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Breakfast was delicious and provided plenty of options to start the day off right. The location was great, just a short drive to Boulders Beach to see the penguins. Despite a few minor issues with slippery tiles in the shower and the lack of nearby restaurants, these were easily outweighed by the overall amazing experience. We would highly recommend Penguin Palace for a memorable stay in Simon's Town. we cannot wait to return to this amazing place.

This hotel is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views of the seaside and the charming residential area it is nestled in. The attention to detail in the rooms, with little touches like a bottle of wine and personalized signs, made our stay extra special. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing recommendations for sightseeing and dining options in the area.

Everything was spot on, couldn't fault a thing!

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location in a nice residential area on the hill was perfect.
