    We spent a week at the Sovn Experience+Lifestyle and had such an amazing time. Our room was very comfy and clean, the breakfast was exceptionally good with a lot of different options, but the best thing of our stay was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and professional. They also did their best to give us great tips for the surrounding area. We will definitely come back!

    We weren't sure what to expect, however we were pleasantly surprised. We were met by some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered. They were so excited to show us our room which was amazing; the balcony had a beautiful sea view, and a few steps led us down to a beautifully secluded swimmung pool.The room itself had a separate sitting room and study, and a beautiful bathroom. As well as being spotlessly clean, the room was well looked after every day. Breakfast was an array of fresh fruits and freshly baked caked, along with Hams, cheese, breads and spreads. Egg options were also available, and although I did not try the omelette but was reliably informed by my partner that they were beautifully cooked. From the map, the hotel looks to be quite a way from Camps Bay, however we found it was only 5/6 minutes down to Camps Bay and about 10 back up. The hotel is then only a 15 minute uber from Cape Town, and there is also a bus stop just outside Our stay here was exceptional and I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the Camps Bay / Cape Town region. We will happily stay here again!

    Super Location in Camps Bay. You can trust absolutely the pictures you see. What you cannot see but what you will experience is the total dedication of the staff to give you great time.

    Outstanding suite with astonishing views over Camps Bay, Lion’s head and Table Mountain. Breakfast was delicious and the pool area was very clean and well looked after. From the friendly staff there, special thanks to Masi, who played a key role to make the stay there unforgettable (great tips, friendly and happy to adjust to serve breakfast at 7 am in our room). Parking was very handy as well as it is recommended to get there by car. We hope to visit Søvn again in the future!

    Everything about our stay at Sovn was perfect. The guest house itself is stunning with very nice rooms and swimming pool area. It is easily found and accessible by car. However what made our stay truly great was the service we received from Zintle and Masi and their team. They spent a lot of time providing us information on activities, trips and restaurants. In general, whenever we had a question they were present and helped us. Moreover the breakfast and the home made cakes were amazing! We really felt welcomed and comfortable, thank you Zintle and Masi once again! We will come to visit you again when we have the chance to return to Cape Town!

The rooms are amazing, very nice and very clean. The staff is excellent! Special thanks to Zee who made our stay wonderful, made us feel 'at home' and gave us some nice recommendations. The breakfast is delicious! Next time we visit Cape Town, we will book again at Sovn Experience+Lifestyle.
