    I bought this stay as part of a present for my parent’a 50th wedding anniversary. They loved the place and the friendliness of the hosts, Shaun, Yutah and Ivan. The breakfasts were excellent (mother raves about the bread). The location is great, especially for Kloof Street.

    Nothing.

    The team within Tintagel Guesthouse is beyond compare, but Utah, the hotel manager, is not only one of the kindest men we have ever met, but he is also generous with his time and knowledge. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The house has all of the amenities you require when you are away from home. It is close to excellent restaurants and the key attractions of the city. The house is both very comfortable and stylish, with gorgeous period features.

    In the bathroom there was a strong smell of sewage from the loo/pipes. It must be an old drainpipe system which can probably not be easily corrected. It's not pleasant but it did not detract from a very good stay.

    Everything was lovely! Very good value for money indeed!

    The load shedding, but that is no fault of the establishment. Tintagel made all necessary and even more arrangements to make sure we were well taken care of during the load shedding hours.

    The ambience and hospitality. They even had flags of each visitors country displayed during the stay. Hands down our favorite guesthouse from all our trips overseas.

    they don't change the towels everyday. But probably it is not so bad, there are good reasons why do not do it.

    You feel as in your house at Cape Town. The breakfast is as you would have prepared. The garden is beautifull. Ivano is an excellent storyteller of the city, sometime better than any tourist book. I stayed one week and everyday they suggested me good extursion and place where to eat. I received sutisfaction for anythings.

    Pristine, clean, Victorian charm in a location close to good restaurants and activities in Cape Town. From the moment of first contact, the managerial team of Sean and Utah, and owner Ivan, could not have been more helpful or more gracious with every little detail. The two ladies who cooked us a full, delicious breakfast every morning were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. We can highly recommend the Tintagel Guesthouse.

    Everything was great at Tintagel. From the very friendly personal welcome and orientation to the well appointed comfortable rooms - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff and owner went out of their way to assist us and made us feel very welcome and very much ‘at home’. The breakfast provided was good, healthy, fresh food enjoyed in the company of other travellers. Well done Tintagel … keep up the great work

    This place is so adorable, extremely clean with the nicest staff and very conveniently located. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. They even have an area to sit outside in the morning if you’d like. The parking right outside the front door was so easy. I would definitely stay here again!

    The wifi was good, only when I lay in the bed it was weak and tend to disconnect. But I even manage to work 1 full day from The desk in the room without any problem.

    The breakfast is very nice! The host are always beyond your needs, the room was very cozy and they are very focused in the details. The little dog was the 6th star I will put on my review as I always felt in a 5 star place and service!! I will be booking here my next visit!!

    The busy street in front of Tintagel Guest House.

    Breakfast super special with the owner that was present. Being a professional architect, responsible to yes any changes that needs to be made to any historical buildings in Cape Town, he's the person to speak to if you're interested in historical buildings. Utah, the manager and hiker himself, gave us very clear instructions to hike Table Mountain, trying a different route - up Kasteelpoort and down Skeleton Gorge.
