Overall Ratings & Reviews Compass House Boutique Hotel

If you’re looking for a full service hotel, in my opinion, I would look elsewhere.

Incredible location and hotel. Staff was amazing too.

Compass is a well managed boutique hotel. Our suite had a fabulous view and was very comfortable. he service was excellent.

Exceeded my expectations!

Beautiful property with INCREDIBLE staff. We loved being at Compass House. Mark, the general manager, was super helpful in making our stay in Cape Town especially wonderful.

It is a beautiful property about halfway up the cliffside of Bantry Bay. The view is stunning, and the welcome was warm. There are only a handful of guest rooms. Rooms are on the smallish-side, but well laid out and thoughtfully appointed. The bed side tables have built in universal plug adapters and USB ports for charging. There is a small mini-bar in the room, and a communal pantry with additional items. Breakfast is served every morning (continental, with eggs to order), and they do offer a small number of non-breakfast items as well (didn't try them). You have a Nespresso machine and tea maker in your room, and they have additional selections in the pantry along with afternoon tea snacks and evening canapés. The walk up to the property can be a steep one, but Ubers are readily available for those who would prefer to avoid the climb. It's a 10-15 minute walk down to the actual beach, which is where most stores, restaurants, etc are located. It's also an easy ride over to Camp's Bay or into the downtown Cape Town area for additional choices. Overall, it's a lovely property in a great location. One note for the smell-sensitive, however. The amenities (Bulgari) are intensely perfumed, so you may want to bring your own to avoid opening them.

Compass house was absolutely fantastic. We were greeted with bubbly and a very friendly manager who explained how everything worked and then we enjoyed the brilliant room, deck and infinity pool. The service was really top notch and my only regret is that we just stayed for one night before flying home. Can't recommend highly enough

One of the best ocean views in the world. Mark was great and very accommodating, thanks to all the friendly staff! I will definitely be coming back.

it is very small hotel (Villa) and very limited selection of breakfast. however, the best this is the sea view. So, I'm paying just for sea view.

We were met very late by Olivier, the owner, very classy and friendly. He was waiting with champagne for us. Such a nice welcome.The property was gorgeous, our room was amazing. Top notch design, I can’t say enough. Mark,Antonio and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating. I only hope we get to come back to this amazing place. They were great at getting us reservations at the best places. If you have the chance to go, just do it! Steve and Frances, Toronto,Canada

Beautiful views and elegant modern hotel. Rooms are spacious with a magnificent balcony. Nice pool and tremendous sunset views. Staff very nice and Mark was very helpful and professional .

We had a short, but memorable stay in Cape Town - Lisa, Noel and the team were consummate professionals and did everything they could to help us. Airport transfers were seamless, dining recommendations spot on. The view to Robben Island was to die for.

Great view, great (warm) pool, excellent head of house.

great service, great facility, great view, great breakfast. And close enough to Cape Town

We visited Cape Town in feb13 and stayed on and off at Compass House for a total 5 nights. Everything from the initial booking to the extended dates was no problem. We pretty much arranged everything through Compass House, i.e airport pick up and various private Guide activities. Big thank you to Maurice (at Chic Tours) making all the extra Cape Town sight seeing perfect. We will be staying at Compass House for the next visit to Cape Town.

Home away from home....

Très beau séjour

Absolut Schöppke und das Beste in Kapstadt. Oliver, Marc und das gesamte Team sind wundervoll

Fantastisk lille super beliggende hotel med topklasse service.

Just perfect! Amazing rooms & hosts. Friendly, helpful. Pool & views. Difficult to describe in words. Just book, stay and you will see. Also no kids allowed which ensures you can appreciate everything even more.
