Excellent. A pure moment of relaxation and luxury. Afternoon tea is a must! Breakfast is absolutely amazing, and the overall service is outstanding!

I hope when I die my spirit returns to the Mount Nelson. We wish we would have arranged to have a day with no activities, just hanging out at the hotel. The grounds are lovely. The service is world class. Great food (we had dinner on the veranda and breakfasts). Very accommodating with any request. Surprise amenities and gifts. The spa is not to be missed. We did a lot of things in Cape Town and yet the hotel ranked very high among experiences here.

Mount Nelson experience, just stood out. High quality service (know your names, attentive, personable, professional).., grounds to relax and enjoy (couples and families), great views of table mountain, has the colonial grandeur, relaxing environment... short trip into the V&A, but away from the hustle.... nearby high quality local restaurants for again for a greater cultural experience. You feel like everyone is proud to part of the Mount Nelson and genuinely like looking after people. Everyone has bags of character and laughter.

My family of three had a great experience with Mount Nelson in July 2025. The staff was outstanding, very helpful, and very friendly. We were constantly greeted with a smile. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which had enough room. I appreciated the fact that the child bed was an actual single bed rather than a roll-away. My child was very comfortable. The staff was great with kids, and my child got lots of help trying to find Nellie, the hotel’s feline mascot. It’s a great place to stay with a family. The breakfast is superb, with a great buffet selection and also some made to order items. We also had a really nice experience with room service and the bar. Thanks so much for a great stay. Mount Nelson will be our go-to stop for future travel to Cape Town.

We had an amazing Afternoon Tea experience with Zodwa! The champagne, Strawberry and Vanilla tea and 125 Year Blend tea and all the food was amazing. We came on a gorgeous day and were able to sit outside, the grounds are incredible! I highly recommend visiting!
