Grotto Bay Vacation Packages

We had a lovely, enjoyable stay, the staff are 5* and their customer service is what would make me return if I come to Cape, I want to say a Special Shout out to Toby, Patience, and Zolani. We stayed for 3 nights and they made us feel like family by the end of our Short stay. Toby kept us laughing everyday, Patience extended our check-out time as a Kind gesture for a small water issue on our Check-out morning, and Zolani was on hand to make everyone feel safe, even accompanying us to the local shops at night as we was 2 female travellers. Everyone including the Cleaning staff deserve a pay rise/Bonus, they make the Hotel Great, we definitely hope to see you guys again, from Krystal and Sara, UK.

We stayed here from March 14 th to March 22. We booked 2 rooms and the stay was awesome. It was right at the city center. The staff was so attentive and very courteous and friendly. The rooms were spacious, neat and comfortable. Breakfast was included and was awesome.

Staff was very helpful and the area was quiet.

Perfect stay. Will be booking again.

While Cape Town itself was wonderful and the food at the hotel was quite good, the overall service fell well short of expectations. Throughout my stay, I constantly had to track down basic amenities and follow up on requests. Service in the restaurant was consistently slow, and on one occasion, I sat waiting for a menu for quite a while, only to be told the staff didn't realize I was there—despite having been acknowledged by a team member when I sat down. Small details were repeatedly missed: complimentary water wasn't placed in the room prior to arrival, requiring me to ask for it, and finished laundry wasn't delivered as promised. There were also communication missteps regarding my room status—my key jacket indicated an upgraded room, but I was placed in a standard entry-level room. If no upgrades were available due to capacity, that is completely understandable, but falsely marking it as an upgrade was disappointing. Finally, checking out at 3:45 AM for a busy travel day was unnecessarily stressful due to confusion over an approved laundry promotion that required extra time to resolve. Given the high ratings, I expected a much smoother, higher-touch experience.

The Hote's location is very good. Walking distance from some bars and restaurants. The room was very spacious and beautiful. There is however is problem with the water system of the hotel. We stayed in Room 808 and the sound of running water through the pipes were so loud, that they had to move us at 04:00 in the morning to another room, because we could not tolerate the sound anymore. We were moved to room 812. Although we could still hear the water running through the pipes, it was not as loud when you closed the bathroom door. The buffet breakfast was very good, but it would have been nice if the waiter informed us of the menu where we could also order from. I would stay there again just on a different floor.

Love the chocolate treats! Room amenities are great
