Ambassador Hotel - Cape Town -33.92355, 18.38019

stunning location - convenient for all the beaches and town. Staff are very attentive.

Superb Hotel.Service excellent,brilliant views of Bantry Bay. Room nicely furnished and spacious. Food the best we tasted in Capetown,The chef David Winton was excellent.Cannot fault this hotel and good value as well.

We chose this hotel because of the favourable reviews on the website and we weren't disappointed. It is right on the coast so the sound of waves splashing (or crashing if windy) lulls you to sleep and the sunset views are unbeatable. Excellent breakfast choices, both buffet and cooked, and the restaurant deserves its local reputation - imaginative food expertly cooked. You do need to book for dinner. Charming staff, especially the valet-parking guys and doormen. V helpful front desk. All our requests, e.g. for a particular sports channel to watch Man U, were met. We'd definitely go back there and will recommend to friends.

The Ambassador is one of the best views I have experienced from a room and also the restaurant 'Salt'. We stayed in the executive suites which was not only a lovely room but had a spectacular view over the bay. The restaurant 'Salt' was great with the best sunset view I have experienced anywhere in the world!

The sunsets are breathtaking from the hotel lobby, bar, and dinner. Food was well above average, wine selection at the bar excellent and tastes of 75ml kept me busy for several evenings. Service was superb - everyone seemed to know my name and want to ensure I had a great time. My biggest regret? That I forgot my wife. While it is a great value and seemed good for business, I was there for pleasure, and clearly this hotel could be an excellent romantic get away.

Great time. Staff always ready with a smile and nothing was too much trouble . Would highly reccommend.

Excellent hotel. The restaurant has lovely views out to sea. Swimming pool isn't enormous but fine for a dip. The staff were all excellent and very friendly - especially to our 18 month old daughter. Had a suite which was a very good size (the bedroom on its own was bigger than most hotel rooms, and on top of that was the hallway, kitchen, bathroom and lounge, with a balcony looking out to sea). Would definitely recommend - for a reasonably priced hotel it works very well.

This hotel is superbly positioned in Bantry Bay. Last year we had a sea view room in the main hotel. This year we stayed in the Executive Suites which is a building on the opposite side of the coast road from the main hotel building. We were on the fith floor (of six) which gave us a good view of the sea over the roof of the main building. Lower floors would not do so wel. We found the suite to be large but with rather dull decor and, by standards of other suites, underquipped. It is advertised as suitable for family stays, but there was no washing machine, ironing board or iron. The latter two were requested on the first day, but never appeared. Television reception was poor on two rather small sets, but suddenly improved on the last day. If we visit this hotel again we will revert to a sea view room. The restaurant was still excellent and, as with all meals in SA, very reasonably priced for the foreign visitor.

The hotel was truly outstanding and in a great location. The hotel was just stunning and the food was very good as well. I will go to again and tell friends visiting to stay here as well.

Arrived 24 hrs late due to fog in LHR. Hotel made day suite available to us from 7 AM until our room was ready at 2 pm. Had previouslet stayed here 3 years ago and found it all moderenised and tastefully redecorated. Staff are so helpfull and friendly and wonderful Breakfasts are enough to take you through whole day. We would stay there again when in CPT.

I recently stayed at the Ambassador Hotel for four nights and can't say enough about how wonderful it is! For the price, you get a spacious, beautiful room (I had a seaside view - a must) and a nice breakfast at Salt every morning. I fell asleep every night listening to the ocean break against the rocks below. The staff is wonderful and will take care of your every need (Amanda was more than accomodating). Very good value for the price!

Overall this hotel is good and in a great location. However please beware that the suites are not in the main building. We booked a suite for our stay thinking it would be the most luxurious available in the property. The room was nice however when booking it they neglect to tell you that the actual suites are in a separate building away from the main hotel and across a busy road. Breakfast is served in the main hotel so you have to walk to the main hotel each morning which is far from ideal and a bit misleading when booking. Access to the building with the suites is also poor through a garage or a manned door which is rarely manned!

Well maintained and excellent decorations...you won't be disappointed in the professional service!

Everyone at this hotel was a pleasure to deal with. We checked in after room service had just closed and the staff re-opened the kitchen so we could get something to eat. They were very courteous and accommodating.

Suites are located across busy street from hotel. For better view, no traffic noise and lower price, book a regular room overlooking a beautiful seascape. Good restaurant with beautiful view. Very helpful staff.

Since my last visit, the Ambassador has renovated their dining room, and takes reservations from other than guests. During my 3-day stay, we were only able to eat in the dining room for dinner one night, this after much complaining. This was to be a Valentine's Day celebration for my wife and myself, and we had to dine out. Hotel guests should be given preference in the dining room.

Great view of the Atlantic Ocean from your room. Lobby at street level and rooms flow below overlooking the rocky shoreline. Pool deck on lowest level is very protected and great space. Rooms ultra modern as is bathroom. Lots of use of glass and mirrors. Bathroom on small side but very adequate.

Good hotel if staying in cape town. very personal service from the staff if staying in the suites. I felt very safe in spite of some safty warnings. Security very friendly and helpful. The receptionest are very helpful at the switchboard in the suite area. Would give greate advice on where to go and not to. Cams Bay very near. Ask for Daphane for very personable service and advise about the area. I think this was a good location. Away from the crowd but close enough.

Ganske trevligt hotel, rummene lite slitna til priset. Restaurant Salt kan rekommanderes; trevligt och prisvart
