POD Camps Bay

It’s amazing!!!)))

Best hotel I have been to. Great customer service and friendly staff.

Best choice I made for our 3 days in Cape Town! Camps Bay is considered as the South African Miami… long white beach, good restaurants and leisure cocktails vibes! POD Camps is the place to be for enjoying at the maximum this joyful place! Service and Staff are very kind and professional, they assist you in everything like having a persons butler always ready to find a solution for every kind of requests! Breakfast is WOW effect and you must try their underwater Gym as well! What we loved the most? Our private heated pool in our room pavilion! Of course we will come back!

To be honest , I expected more from this hotel seeing that it advertised to be a bespoke 5 star luxury boutique hotel . In the comfort room, the face basin had black mould at the base of it , all around it . That was a big turn off . My luxury room was a bit of a mess because a piece of furniture was in the wrong place which made it quite uncomfortable for me to move around. The room is already not very spacious due to how it's built . It was eventually moved but I think this should've been fixed before I entered the room. I was actually shocked that no one thought it would've been a problem before I reported it. The toilet also smelled very bad - on entering , every single time .I wasn't happy about at all. Other things in the room were dirty , the light switches, other miscellaneous items with food stains etc.. Bed sheets did not smell fresh . It had a thick bleach scent . These things are little fixes that need to be done . I didn't enjoy my stay in my rooms at all. But , everyone had lovely smiles and warm greetings and paid attention to our needs and wants. Service was great: ) Keen attention has to be paid to the cleanliness.

POD Camps Bay exceeded our expectations for our four night stay. The service was fantastic and the team really took care of our needs. The breakfast was amazing and on days we left early we had breakfasts and coffees ready for us! The location is very walkable to many restaurants and the waterfront!

The POD is located one block from the beach, which is very convenient for walks along the beach. Due to the proximity to the main road you can hear some traffic noise so it is not te most quiet location. The views from the hotel are limited due to a building in front of the hotel, however from the balconies and the pool terrace you have some partial ocean views. The rooms are in very modern and nice design, really nice. The balcony is quite large with partial ocean view. The bathroom is open space with a big shower space, but limited space at the sink which stands in the middle of the bedroom, so this might not be everyone’s cup of tea (I prefer separate bathrooms - yes I know it is mentioned on their website). Storage space is also a bit limited. Please note that the mountain rooms are very small. Overall nice rooms with great design. The pool is heated and relatively small, but big enough for laps. Nice pool terrace with partial ocean views. Breakfast has limited choice (in particular the fresh fruits are a bit limited), but they have excellent fresh fruit juice (orange and some mixed fruits, all excellent). They have very good cereals with nuts, also excellent. Last not least I also liked the eggs Benedict. Overall a good breakfast with good but limited choice, What was really nice was the super friendly staff. They greet you and have some nice conversation with you, really very nice. You don’t get the same luxury service as in a leading luxury hotel, but this friendliness is unique and well appreciated. Overall a good experience. For design lovers this is definitely a great option.
