    The host was welcoming and very pleasant. The breakfast was delicious and included a nice variety of fruit. Fantastic coffee. They have their own dedicated parking. The room and bathroom were spotless. The room was decorated well with vintage items, all in good condition. The local sherry-like welcoming drink (the host told us the name, but I cannot remember it) was also nice.

    Nothing to say

    I couldn’t ask for a better accommodation in Cape Town. The whole staff is very kind and attentive. I’ve had an issue with my flight and had to do a late check in. I was greeted in a fantastic way and they’ve gave me all the support needed. Besides its beautiful design, I’ve felt like home at Tintagel Guesthouse. Delicious breakfast, cleanness, and politeness. Super!

    We loved our time at the guesthouse. Utha and Martin took great care of us and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was good, and the beds are comfortable. The guesthouse is a great start for any sightseeing, going to bars and restaurants. We'll be back.

    Excellent place to stay in Cape Town. Restaurants, shopping of daily needs and City Centre within easy walking distance. Utah, Martin and Ivan went beyond and above their way to make us feel at home. Great English breakfast with delicously fresh fruits. The house is a genuine Victorian Villa, the rooms are decorated with style. The beds are very comfy. Our hosts supported us with great sight seeing tips, recommendations of restaurants and the booking of tickets and organized very reliable and friendly transfer from an to the airport. We would love to come back any time.

    The accommodation was great, the only issue was there is sky light in the roof, and a mosque close by, so we were woken up with the sky light and call to prayer.

    Not much parking on the premises but fortunately there was street parking.

    The host was friendly and kind and very helpful. The location was brilliant - very near to restaurants and shops and the Gardens. The exterior of the premises is deceptive as once you go into the front door, one was greeted by the most beautiful old world charm in the decor and hosts.

    Lovely reception and dining area. Light and airy rooms leading to outside shaded seating for breakfast. Bedrooms clean and comfortable. Quiet haven in a busy area. Great restaurants and choice of bars on your doorstep to walk to each night. Warm, friendly staff and owner who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and looked after.

    Tintagel is most definitely a guesthouse worth booking! The staff is amazing, the helped us with all different sorts of requests (setting up e-sim, hiking routes and restaurant options). They are centrally located in the proximity of wide range of restaurants and shops, all in walking distance! Table Mountain and Lion's Head are easy to reach by taxi. They offer breakfast with fresh products, which is served on the terrace if the weather allows! Despite our late arrival (23.30) we received a warm welcome with tee and a quick tour of the property and some other basics! Overall we would definitely come back when visiting CT!
