    Located near the restaurants and beach of Camps Bay and only a short drive towards Cape Town. Very clean, comfort and friendly guest house. As a service we could stay the whole day extra and take a shower because of our late flight back.

    Nothing- a pleasant stay!

    Very good location in Camps Bay. 5 mins to the beach, good restaurants and the bus stop for the city sightseeing tour. Massive comfortable bed. Balcony & Pool with a nice view of the beach and mountains.

    We had a bathtub with shower which we had to sit in to shower (as there have been leakage problems in the past). This isn't usually much of a problem except that the bathtub was very narrow and it was very uncomfortable for me (average size man) to wash properly. The picture on the TV was fuzzy. The remote control for the DVD player didn't work (which was annoying as we had brought DVDs with us to watch). Upon arrival at check in time there was nobody to greet us other than a maid, who was very friendly but who struggled to help us with where to leave the car parked and with other general questions and formalities. Did not meet the owner/manager untill the next morning (this felt strange as we had received such wonderful hospitality everywhere else on the Garden Route!).

    Location - beautiful views and Camps Bay is great for young couples and more mature couples/ travelling families. Room was very nice and the cleaning/ domestic staff were excellent.

    Lack of some basics such as a hair dryer and wifi access in the room (it worked in the passageway) - for the rates being charged I would expect those things to be a given. Cooked breakfasts were noticable in their absence and if they were available we were not made aware of the option. We stayed in a "lodge" in Plettenburg Bay a few days later which cost similar money but was 100% better in every way.

    This hotel offers amazing value for money. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the attention to detail and the fantastic location on an inclined hill. The staff are very friendly and provide exceptional service. The rooms are equipped with basic amenities, including English sockets, and the balconies offer breathtaking views of the sunset. The breakfast is delicious, with a wide range of à la carte options included.

    All was fine, nothing to complain about.

    Spacious room; beautiful view; convenient location

    Towels: there were no bath sheets, just standard size and they were not fluffy. Also they were not replenished every day. We like fresh fluffy towels. There was no hairdryer. The toilet seat was loose. The M-Net channel did not work and there was a particular programme that I wanted to watch.

    I had a wonderful stay at Balfour Place. The location was fantastic, with great restaurants and stunning views nearby. The room was well-furnished, clean, and had a perfect balcony to enjoy the evening sun. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.
