Reviews of The Walden Suites

This was such a lovely homely small hotel. The rooms are comfy with thoughtful touches. We had a lovely sea view. The staff are incredible and the breakfast was delicious. Small touches like an honesty bar & snack bowl just added to the homely feel. Also loved the location at the top of a quieter street but close enough to everything to walk.

Friendly host and staff, beautiful room with view of the ocean, delicious breakfast, and overall really perfect stay

Nothing

This is a beautiful guest house in a quiet street but still within walking distance of Sea Point. Our room was lovely and spacious with a stunning view from the balcony. Melanie and her staff are gracious hosts who make you feel really welcome. Breakfast is super and the coffee is so good. A really good salt water pool and very pretty gardens just round it all off. This will be my go to venue in CT from now on.

Breakfast was very good with a good variety of food. Staff were friendly and helpful. We really appreciated being able to leave our luggage on site while we explored the neighbourhood before flying out later that evening. Grounds are nicely shaded and you do get a nice view down to the sea and back to Lion's Head. Easy to get an Uber and a safe walk to the bars restaurants, and shops close by. Pool was refreshing! Our friends enjoyed their walk from the Walden to the V & A waterfront along the coastal promenade (during the day).

There are steep hills in the neighbourhood and the walk up to the Walden can be taxing, especially when it is warm. There is an elevator in the building but not sure if we could access it or not to move our luggage upstairs. There is construction behind the building which was noisy first thing in the morning. Unfortunately it will also degrade the view back to Lion's Head. They did advise us before hand about the construction which was appreciated.

Great service, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, good location. Nice pool and area outside room to sit.

Noise from nearby building site.

This place as amazing. It felt so calm and tranquil, everyone who worked there was so kind and helpful! Location was great and so easy to get anywhere from there.

Location was amazing. Accommodations were perfect if you're looking for something less commercial than a larger hotel but not wanting to stay in an Airbnb.

We still slept comfortably with the door open, but for America travellers during a hot period it is good to keep in mind there is no air-conditioning.

The rooms are huge, clean and perfect for our stay with a baby. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and in a lovely setting. The pool area was great for relaxing and for our baby to play next to. We would definitely stay again if we visit Cape Town. Thank you for your hospitality!

Nothing. It was all super!

Very charming house with friendly staff, very attentive in a quiet area of Fresnaye, parking on street was no problem. Highly recommended.

Bath was not separated but integrated.

The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was super friendly. It was a great start to our holiday.

It was a bit noisy when you slept downstairs. It didn't bother us that much. But we noticed it. 😊

Great for those who are looking for atmosphere to feel like home. People are very nice, personal, and helpful. Great location in good neighborhood, walkable to restaurants and services, promenade and the clifton beaches.

Centrally located, very clean and exceptionally attentive staff from the word go. Nothing too much trouble. We had a lovely big room with shared balcony with views of the sea. Private parking, excellent breakfasts and lovely pool.

From the amazing views of table mountain , the amazing breakfast prepared for us and the amazing people that help us put it all together. I truly am happy I decided to stay at the Walden.

The villa itself is beautiful, the location is perfect, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the hostess Melanie is an exceptionally cool lady.

Perfect location, friendly staff and nice rooms.

-Clean rooms and beds were comfy with 2 pillow options. -Room was huge with separate living room area - had direct access to the pool with a nice deck area. -Staff were friendly and helpful for check-in as we arrived very late. -Internet was strong, I was able to have zoom calls in my room. -Location was decent with a short 10-15min walk to a main street with lots of food options for lunch/dinner, or a short drive into Cape town centre

Shower could have been better, door didn't fully close and didn't drain super well. Location is on a hill so if planning to walk, it is quite uphill on the way back.
