The Walden House

The two ladies responsible for the whole hotel operations, are very professional, helpful and work as synced duo. We loved our time and were humbled with the professionalism this place is run. We will return as we left with expectation of experiencing more of this place and of Cape Town!

I was very impressed with the service, quality of breakfast and the overall care of the ladies!

Lovely place to stay, very central and safe. Our room was upgraded on arrival which was a nice added bonus. Amy who worked on reception was lovely and so helpful. Good breakfast - would recommend.

Great area in Cape Town. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby, yet quick and easy to get to other places using a taxi or Uber. Staff was very helpful and full of ideas for our short stay.

Beautiful, clean, upmarket

My stay was very nice and the staff was very pleasant and helpful at all time. The room was very clean and neat the only issue I had was there was no hot water in the shower. Overall stay though was good.

The service was very capable & friendly! My room was very nice and the bed also excellent. Even though close to restaurants and some main roads in the area, the house is quiet. First night huge noise from next door neighbours. Young crowd. The standard of cleanliness can be upped. Generally happy. Will recommend it.

The staff were very friendly and were quick to answer every question I had. The location is great and makes for easy access anywhere in Cape Town, while the B&B itself is adorable with a lovely pool and very comfy rooms. Definitely, a place to go back to!

This is a beautiful guest house with a great view of Table Mountain. The service was excellent. I had the honeymoon suite, which was lovely. I would definitely stay here again.

would stay again in a heartbeat. It was quiet and you are able to walk to restaurants and shopping.

This place has it all. The great location, between downtown and Table Mountain cable car lower station. Beautiful villa. Excellent location also for people who will be boarding a cruise ship later. At upper floor you will have a nice view of the mountains and downtown from a balcony, accessible from a common corridor. The Honeymoon suite has a door directly to that L-shaped balcony. We were upgraded to that suite, which was very large with a fireplace, desk and cozy chairs. Bathroom is also large, nicely decorated and honeymooners will appreciate free standing bath tub and his and her shower head in the stall. Excellent breakfast includes not only a buffet section but also menu where you can order eggs, bacon...etc. Napkins have a temperature for that day printing on them - nice touch. The villa also has a cozy common area, again with a fireplace, sofa and more. The owner will get you tickets for Table Mountain on line, bypassing the waiting and also she will order a taxi for you. It will cost you about sixty SAR. It should be less by taxi meter (forty), but taxis are trying to get more, since shorter distance is not profitable for them. Still better choice than walking, which would be at least twenty minutes at higher pace and up the hill. We were very happy that we made this choice - to stay at The Walden House. Highly recommended!

This was a very good value hotel.The breakfast was excellent as was the staff.For a short stay city hotel this hotel ticks all the boxes,

I had a week long stay in a garden room - it was comfortable, beautifully decorated and presented and most importantly clean. The Walden House is in a very inviting setting with beautiful gardens and all of the home comforts you could want. The staff are very friendly and helpful, arranging transport and tours with no problem. The airport transfer was great with a very helpful friendly driver. The Walden house really is in a great location, just out of the CBD it is still central Cape Town, close to table mountain with lots of lovely cafes 2 minutes walk away, and a short taxi ride to the V & A Waterfront (50-60ZAR). I had arrived early/mid morning so had arranged to drop my bags off - when I arrived my room was ready which after 30 hours of flying I was so incredibly appreciative of. The breakfasts are lovely with plenty of options. I used the laundry service which was well priced and great. Thanks for making me feel so welcome - If I am back in Cape Town I will definitely stay again.

One of the best places I've ever stayed.

A charming Victorian building with pool, modern rooms and bathrooms. Excellent breakfast was included.

Friendly and helpfull staff with a good breakfast

Great Service! They helped us find our way around town and arranged a local car rental which delivered the car to the Walden House. They also arranged taxi service. The Walden House was quaint and pleasant and the breakfast was superb. We loved the fresh Protea flowers in the room at the table and in the common areas.

Great stay, very comfortable and centrally located. Only downside was people outside my room at 5am chatting.

Really pleasant stay at the Walden House. Friendly helpful staff, great breakfasts with ample choice, and comfortably furnished rooms within a colonial style building. Nice and secure, it's in a convenient position for town - a short cab ride and equally close to the table mountain cable car. We enjoyed our stay here and found the Wakden House to be of excellent value.

Staff friendly and efficient Breakfast excellent, though service could sometimes be slow
