We had an excellent stay at the Marly. The room was beautiful and spacious and the location was perfect: close to bars, restaurants and the lovely Camps Bay beach.

Modern Boutique hotel
We enjoyed our stay here. Sitting on top of a shopping centre it seemed odd to start with but it reminded us of Mediterranean beach clubs. The staff were excellent and we had a great room looking to the sea. Breakfast was excellent as was lunch next to the little pool. There are many lovely restaurants for dinner in the evening.

Wonderful, relaxing stay at The Marly
Loved our stay at The Marly.
Quirky hotel with a lovely rooftop pool and bar for guests in a fantastic location central to everything in Camps Bay. Perfect place to watch the sun set.
All staff were so friendly and accommodating in the hotel, bar and restaurants.
The spa is a must and one of the best massages ever.
Look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

The Marley is fantastic… once you figure out where to check-in. After a short climb through a parking garage and the retail center we found a beautiful comfortable room with an amazing view of the beach. Bonus points for many delicious dining options directly in the complex, Zenzero was a personal favorite. The bread and olive oil was some of the best I’ve had. I couldn’t hesitate to stay there again for a second if back in Cape Town or Camps Bay.

Stunning hotel that although very central to Camps Bay feels like its hidden away above everything. We loved our stay there and could not speak highly enough about this place. The location is epic, the rooms were huge and modern, the amenities had all we needed, the rooftop restaurant and bar is stunning, the pool area quiet and super comfortable and first and foremost, the team and management were second to none from start to end, so friendly, helpful and genuine. 5 stars! We stayed further up the coast in our second week but returned for lunch on our last day in CT and the team treated us like we were still guests—wonderful.

Very expensive for what it is
Rooms were great, facilities for an expensive 5* are certainly sub-par. Could do with some TLC and the check-in / bookings department were super greedy.
Roof terrace has so much potential, but isn’t what you expect for a c.£500/night 5*.

Honeymoon Stay- Marly Boutique
We stayed at the Marly Boutique Hotel for the first stop of our honeymoon. The hotel has a great location across from the beach and surrounded by so many shops and restaurants. It’s also close to the start of the hike for Lions Head. We walked to/from the hotel to do this hike. It’s also a short Uber ride in to downtown Cape Town. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and kind. They provided excellent customer service throughout our entire stay. The rooms were extremely clean and were very modern/well-decorated. We especially liked the towel warmer in the bathroom. The hotel also offers complimentary breakfast at the restaurant downstairs, which was very helpful to not have to plan out another meal while traveling. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great selection of breakfast food and beverage. This was an excellent way to kick off our honeymoon and we could not recommend this stop more. You must stay here when visiting Cape Town area.

Do I return to the Marly?? Not sure
I have stayed at the Marly many times always for 5-10 nights. I was not happy with my mountain view room especially for 7 nights. I asked if any ocean view rooms were available but they said only for two nights. I think my room backed up to a school. Screaming kids all day. House keeping turns off AC so back to a warm room. Not fun!!! Went to the pool one day and completely ignored. Not even offered water let alone a menu. I asked for a late check out on Day 6 & they offered me two hours. 1 pm with a 9 pm flight to USA. I kindly said no thank you. Then today as I call to have my luggage collected they offer me a late check out. What a joke! On my way not sure I return to the Marly.

Reception lacks service + noise mountain view room
We had a nice stay, great ocean view location and very good variety of restaurants. The only thing that was not in line with expectations of a 5• hotel is the quality of the reception. Very very unprofessiknal! We booked a room 600 euro! per night + upgrade package to seaview room if available. On arrival they told us the hotel was fully booked! I showed them that there were still 8 rooms online available. They would get back to us but did not do so. So after a drink, I called again and they did not know what I was talking about…. So I explaned again and then we could move to the upgraded room…. For one night only!!! As the hotel was again fully booked the next day! Again same story but still this was not true as I could see online. This is not ok for a 5 star hotel.
The second day I did not want to argue again so we moved rooms again (eventhow there were enough rooms left!!). The room we got was next to the generator so at 00.00 midnight we heard a horrible noise for 2 hours.
So my advice, do not book the mountain view rooms because it will keep you out of your sleep at night. And for the hotel, do not sell “upgrades” if you do not want to give them.

Two night stay at Marly boutique hotel at camps ba
Hotel is located above a shopping mall which is not really mentioned and the ocean facing rooms are next to the busiest road and so can be very noisy .
The good points are :
1) lovely rooms .
2) The reception and staff in general at the hotel are very polite and friendly .
The bad points which I experienced on my two night stay :
1) Most disappointing was the service experience at breakfast which was extremely slow and disappointing on both occasions on my stay for example you would order your break fast tea which would come after a long time but they would bring no milk with the tea and by the time you got your milk delivery the tea had gone cold .
The breakfast was a menu breakfast not a buffet . Again the service was slow and again if you ordered toast it would come after a long time and then it would come with out the butter and condiments like jam and marmalade.,by the time you got these the toast had gone cold .
In my opinion the breakfast was poorly organised and delivered and for the price your paying you would expect better.
2) problem with my room cards for entrance in to your room would stop working.On my 2 day stay had to go to reception six times to get fixed which was frustrating and wasted a lot of time .
3 ) problem with shower as difficult to control temperature and the shower would not drain very well so would partially flood bathroom.
4) Poor quality sweets which really do stick to your teeth
