Cape Standard Guest House

Tino could not have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. Such a positive and upbeat host! I think of Cape Standard as an oasis in Cape Town Central. From our spacious suite we could step out onto a patio and pool with abundant landscaping. Very quiet neighborhood. Convenient walk to stroll the oceanfront promenade, eateries, and such. And breakfast! I would have been happy with coffee and the most delicious rolls, but that was followed with a grand selection from yogurt, fruit, cheese tray, and THAT was followed with a breakfast entree choice of eggs and such. Tino's staff was very professional, not intrusive or dismissive. Just right. We spoke with a woman who often travels for business in Cape Town. This is where she always stays. Having experienced the hospitality and well-appointed accommodations, no wonder Tino conveys such pride in Cape Standard. Thank for your warm welcome, Tino.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel in Cape Town. The place isn’t huge, and that’s exactly what makes it so special It’s warm, welcoming, and has a very personal, human touch. The view was absolutely stunning, and the breakfast each morning was delicious. Tino was incredibly kind, attentive, and always had a smile on his face. He really made us feel at home. Our room was spotless and very comfortable. But what makes this stay truly unforgettable is that it marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in our lives, it’s during this trip that our family story quietly began to grow. We can’t wait to return one day next time, as a family of three.

Cape Standard Guest House - Lovely & Quaint! I had a lovely stay! The manager Paddington was really incredible! He was always willing to help with what I needed, and was friendly, kind, and did an amazing job! :-)

Staying at Cape Standard is a treat. From the moment of booking, everything is pleasant; communication is rapid and clear, our late check-in was no problem and Paddington had organised a little snack and a beer for us, which is very much needed after an eleven hour flight. The street and neighbourhood is quiet and how lovely it is to wake up in a green hideaway in the middle of Greenpoint. David, the owner, is an incredible host and extremely funny! Can't wait to return at the end of April. Happy to have found Cape Standard and I will now consider it our home whenever we're in Cape Town.

The Cape Standard is a small, four room boutique hotel tucked away on the edge of Sea Point in Cape Town. Over the years I have stayed in this hotel about 6 times on that tells you just what a special and delightful place it is. Located on a very quiet cul-de-sac with adequate safe free car parking the hotel is within a 3-minute walk of the promenade and has a delightful, informal breakfast area set around a small swimming pool. It is an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy city. Our large bedroom had a comfortable double bed, good wardrobe storage, a flat screen TV, excellent wi-fi, tea and coffee facilities, a fridge with a mini bar, a sofa and a small desk for working. The room led out onto the swimming pool area where there were sun loungers. What makes this place so special is not only the excellent quality of the accommodation and the convenient location (the wonderful open air Sea Point sea point swimming pools are about a mile away) but also the personal welcome from the owner David and his very efficient and personable manager, Tino. I have stayed at many hotels around the world on this one excels in the personal welcome and attention that you receive. It was and will remain my ‘go to’ hotel in Cape Town and I unreservedly recommend it to you.
